So Long, 2018.

December 31, 2018

Whew! Well, that was interesting. 

Did anyone else experience a year-long semi panic attack? Talking to a group of entrepreneur ladies I meet with (semi)regularly, everyone seems to have had one hell of a year. Sure, big things were accomplished–Brian and I built a house! Babies were born (not to me)! Businesses took off! But maybe the planets weren’t aligned correctly or some woo-woo something like that, because it seems like a general consensus that everyone had a rough run in ’18. We’re all a bit tired today. Sort of weary.

Because I believe in accountability, I’m going to share with you here how I plan to make 2019 better. Step one: I will NOT be building any more houses in 2019. HA! But in all seriousness I do have a few plans I’d like to take action on and I’m going to lay them out for you so that I have several thousand people holding me accountable.

Huh. That’s sort of a scary thought. But hey, this way I’ll do all the things. Let’s jump into it.

  1. I’m going to take more risks. I have been a rules, rules, rules girl my entire life and the thought of deviating from a schedule freaks me out. This is a big, scary one for me so I figured I’d list it first. I’m going to do more things that scare the shit out of me in 2019.I’ll be talking about them in a series of articles so keep your eyes peeled for them.
  2. I’m going to workout more. I used to workout 6 days per week and I loved it. Hell, I even built an entire business out of helping women lose weight. And then my chronic back pain reared it’s ugly head and I slowed down. A lot. Then life got crazy and I nearly stopped. I could give you a million excuses, but I’m not going to. I have a small back surgery scheduled for January 15th. Once recovered, I will be getting back into whatever my body permits me to do, daily. If it’s a slow yoga practice or if it’s simple cardio, I’m going to listen my body and get back to feeling good. I encourage you, if you’ve fallen off too, to join me. I’ll be posting about it over on my Instagram. 
  3. This one is for you:I’m going to be writing more. More recipes, more workouts, more musings, more love. I have an idea for a book, completely unrelated to my website, that could be a fun thing to pursue. I’ll let y’all know if I can get it going. Expect many more words from me in 2019.

There:  Not too many, not too few. I think I’m going to have my hands full with the coming year and I’m excited to see what happens. I’ve never liked resolutions because they always seem a bit forced. But this year, looking back at the craziness of 2018, I think a few promises to myself are necessary. 

Did you have a crazy 2018? Do you feel like the whole year was just a bit off, too? Do you set resolutions and if so, what are a few of yours this year?

Blame genetics/adulting. Dark circles have been pa Blame genetics/adulting. Dark circles have been part of my life for-ev-er. Complimentary from @filorgausa comes their Optim-Eyes best-selling eye cream and I’ve been using it religiously for the past few weeks.
⠀⠀
First off, I love the texture—it’s super light and hydrating. Second, and probably most importantly: I look like I actually got some sleep (I didn’t) or that wasn’t blessed with bad genetics (I was).
⠀
@filorgausa wants to help you fake a good nights sleep, too, so they’re offering my followers $10 off a bottle of your very own Optim-Eyes! Use code IGEYES.
⠀
Adulting is hard, but you’ve got this, even if you need a little help here or there. 😆 👀

⠀
This week is turning into craziness for me so today, my post is about slowing down and feeling the sun on your face.

This year, I’d like to work on my photography skills. Being up in Sedona last week inspired me to get back to learning my camera. When I’m in a beautiful place, I want to capture it so that when I look back, I can remember exactly what it was like.

This year has not been ideal to say the least. Lots of anxiety, trips cancelled, family’s new babies not snuggled & new daily frustrations.
⠀
Amidst all of it, I’ve found a deep and happy peace. I am surrounded and supported by the most amazing people. I am finally unafraid to present myself as who I am (although at times it may be hard to describe!).
⠀⠀
Thanks for being here, right now. I hope you’ll join me as I twirl my way through the next 12 months. Cheers! 🥂

Hope y’all have the most amazing weekend. My mom is visiting and we’re having a little girls shopping day for my upcoming birthday on Monday. 😆
