Winter in New England

Twenty Eighteen To-Do List

Here we are in the first week of the new year! I hope you all are settling into twenty eighteen with ease and are ready to take on everything a new year has to offer. Of course with a new year comes fresh starts, new beginnings, hope, and can't forget about those new years resolutions. Here's the thing though, are new years resolutions all they're cracked up to be? No. Does anyone actually follow through with those resolutions and succesfully make lifestyle changes because of them? Again, probably not. New Years resolutions are good in theory, but they just aren't all that realistic. Plus, I'm a firm believer that if you want to implent a change in your life or lifestyle, you don't need to wait until Janurary first to do so.

A Look Back at Twenty Seventeen

Happy New Year!

It's hard to believe that another year has come and gone, and that we are starting fresh in a twenty eighteen. I love New Years, that it represents the culmination of a year well lived, experiences gained, opportunities explored, and all the highs and lows of life. I also love how it gives you an opportunity to look back and reflect on the past 365 days. I'm a firm believer in the importance of reflecting on the year, looking back on what you did or maybe didn't do, the goals you brilliantly accomplished or failed at miserably, and the person the year has shaped you into. Years often have a lot to teach us, and more often than not, it isn't until we sit down and reflect on them that we find the hidden gems, blessings, and lessons they provided us with.
