Welcome to the first-ever AD 2020! Many people come into the new year either on a good note or down on their luck. For the most part, I’m coming in on a good note.
So where do I fall short?
Though major changes are still spinning in my business vortex, and moving forward, a minor set back has forced me to slow down in the physical body.
Less than a week before Christmas, getting the house ready and decorated, I was washing dishes and a glass jar slipped out of my hands, broke, and sliced two fingers on my dominant hand.
It was a pretty scary experience since I’m a cautious person most of the time. The cuts were pretty deep but not enough for stitches.
Most of my holiday shopping, decorating, and menu ideas were canceled due to needing to rest my hand. I was even looking forward to baking new Christmas cookies.
I’ve been consistent with changing out the bandages and applying natural remedies. Though not fully healed, the cuts are mending faster than I expected, given the depth- and pain I felt.
2019 kicked off two new businesses, while the end of the year left me with taking two others into a whole new direction.
With more clarity for creating my brand, 2020 will no doubt be a busy year full of abundance and possibility.
Past years I had needed time to reflect on my marriage, divorce, custody, and how I’d bring my spirit back and on track to living my dreams as a successful female entrepreneur.
Each year was less of a “standard resolution” but more self-awareness and course correction for creating boundaries for the future.
For example, one year was to clear out all negativity that included habits, thoughts, and people that had no positive impact on my life, my family, or businesses.
Stating affirmatively what I wanted to accomplish for each new year, the universal laws helped me see to things were removed from my life that I no longer wanted or needed. For instance, seeing clearly the motives of others, or leading me to further research alternatives for anything that needed replacing.
We have an entire year to fill up the calendar, and I hope you’re thinking big when it comes to making changes for the new year.
Going bigger and better is a native motto that flows through my Texas blood.
Thinking big doesn’t mean to wear yourself down for others. You grab hold of your passion(s) and allow yourself to expand in the knowledge of that.
There’s so much to learn and do, so if you haven’t made a list- long or short, get started! The month has just begun.
Do you have a plan on expanding for your New Year? I’d love to hear about it below in the comments!
Until next time,
Happy New Year!
