Hello! It is good to be back :) These past two weeks were a much needed break! My husband and I spent the time mostly lazying about and visiting locally with friends and family.

2015 is going to be quite the year. There is a lot of uncertainty in my life this year. I don't know where my husband will get a job, or how my business will look in 6 months time. But I am excited, change is hard but so necessary to keep life interesting.

I decided to write up my goals and place them into 5 categories:

Health + Wellness

Start doing yoga
Take better care of my health, schedule dr. appointments etc.
Pursue mindfulness + work to find strategies to relieve anxiety
Eat healthy, cook at home more
Drink lots more water
Work to remove or relieve things that cause stress
Make time to travel and relax

Relationships

Plan more fun & romantic dates with Josh
Be better at listening and carving out little romantic moments with Josh
Keep better in touch with family and friends
Reach out to more local friends for get-togethers
Have more dinner parties
Continue searching for more local freelance friends

Nesting

Work on improving my home
organize all our stuff and upgrade furniture
get rid of old and unused things
host more events
Pursue more dog training, and work to relieve Jack's separation anxiety

Art + Business

Take on fewer but more high paying clients
Continue to develop my skills and offerings
Work on delegating tasks, bringing on helping hands
Get more organized, continue working to better my system
Think of new and interesting ways to grow and change my blog
Make time for pursuing my own artistic side projects
Work on creating side income
Work to not be all consumed by work

Give Back

Volunteer in my community
Support causes I believe in
Be there for friends and family in need

I tried to create goals that I could actually pursue - but we will see! What are some of your goals for 2015?

So happy to be back :)
