New Years

Some years back, I stopped using the term “New Year’s Resolutions,” and instead, plan my “targets” for the following year. In fact, sometimes I don’t even wait until the “new year” to evaluate new targets or to adjust some current ones. NOW is always a great time to get better. The turn of a new year does offer a sense of renewal and freshness that often invigorates people to take on new challenges. As you start this new year, beyond determining how many hours you want to bill, how much weight you want to lose, etc., I encourage you to think about how to better the intangibles in your life too. How can I show up as a better friend this year? What steps can I take to better take care of myself from the inside out? Is there something you’ve always wanted to do but just “never quite found (or made) the time?

A few years ago, I had not one but two friends I made through competing in pageants pass away completely unexpectedly within the same year, rather tragically, and at very young ages. Their untimely passings, even years later, are often reminders to me to suck all the life out of the sand in my hour glass because you never know how much sand is left.

This year, as you are planning- take some time FOR YOU… the things and people you enjoy. The bucket list items you won’t regret making time for. Being in the moment and not just letting the moments pass.

Happy New Year, Sisters! Let's make this one count!
