Starting the New Year off…right.

Sooo…. it’s been a while. I look back in amazement on how it has been a year since I updated my blog (I could have swore I had been hard at work on that this year). Yikes! Besides my normal, personal New Year’s resolutions (and there are a few…), I am making it my goal to be more committed to writing and updating the blog. Writing is good for me. For one, writing helps me be more vulnerable (as in having to admit I haven’t updated my blog in a year!). I have also found that writing my thoughts inspires me to see the world around me in a new way. Writing also reminds me to embrace my imperfections. I can edit a post a hundred times but in the end, I need to give up the goal of perfection and have the goal of learning and growing with each thing I write.

My hope is that everyone is working on something that challenges them. Even if we totally botch our resolutions for the year. Having a goal, working towards achievement, dealing with the many parts of “us” that can get in the way and then coming to terms with our failures and relapses…this is life! Hope 2017 is an especially good one for you!
