ALL YEAR RESOLUTIONS.COM PART II

2019 has been a year of trials and tribulations. If I had to name this year I’d call it “Love Through Adversity”. I quit my job in March to give me time to focus on being a mother to my son and also to give me time to study and prepare for my board exams. As I look forward to the year 2020 I pray that I will be able to bring forth the lessons and strength I gained into the new year.

Last year I started a trend of categorizing my resolutions based on the www domains so the saga continues.

Communion with God is the glue that held me together all 2019.  Even when I was hanging on by a string the glue bond never broke and never will. Trusting that while I can’t see the way His way is always best was and is a hard lesson for a control freak like myself.  I still read my daily scriptures from The Daily Word.  I will admit that there were days last year that I would forget to read my YouVersion App scripture but a total 218 days on the app is not bad but is a record I aim to surpass this year! If you don’t have the app get it and friend me.  Let’s hold each other accountable.

​.ORG

In 2019 I focused on being more fluid in my organization goals.  This year I want to focus on embracing a constant state of picking up.  I had aimed for that last year but I didn’t quite get there so this year my goal is that I will take 15 minutes in the morning and evening to focus on cleaning.  Stay tuned because I’m going to drop my “Constantly Cleaning Checklist.” later this month for all those working women like myself that don’t like to clean up but realize it a necessity of adulting.  Secretly I do hope and pray that as I enter back into the workforce I can carve out some money to have someone come and do some do the heavy cleaning for me monthly ??.

​.EDU

I’m still working on my reading list.  It’s growing but I’m happy to say that taking some time at night or during the day to read has provided fulfillment.  It’s a bit unorthodox but my bathroom breaks have really been the key!


I’ve also decided to challenge myself to learn Spanish.  Currently I am using an app called Duolingo.  I’m trying to work it into my daily routine...it’s a goal.

​.NET

I would love to tell you that my goal of being social monthly was a resolution that I met in 2019 but that would be a lie.  I’m not really sure what happened ??‍♀️.  Maybe I’m more of a homebody than I think.  At the end of the day of working, giving to my little one, and my family; I’m left with this cup that is empty and needs to be refilled and the best way to refill it is me time.  So this year I’m going to honor that and not try to force myself to be more social than I can handle.  Most people assume that extroverts don’t need personal time but some of us do...just like introverts.  
​

​.BLOG

I’m enjoying blogging.  It’s an opportunity for me to allow my creative juices to flow.  After going to TheCURVYCon last year the words intentional, consistency, and proper planning resonated with me.  Carrying these words into the new year in reference to my blog, social media and other projects that I am drawn to; I endeavor to first PLAN PLAN PLAN.  Planning ahead may seem less spontaneous but I think will allow me to be more CONSISTENT which is a struggle for me when I’m juggling different facets of my life.  INTENTIONALITY with my message also plays a role in helping me to keep up with blogging and being more consistent.

TEASER:  I’m also planning on a new platform launch this year so stay tuned

This year is here and I choose this year to find joy in the journey!  Come along with me!
