Kristy, first of all- I am copying your top 5 personal goals ? alllll great and alll need accomplished on my end! I love your business goals too, and if I can accomplish 1/4 of those, I’ll be ecstatic ? Happy New Year ?
Me too Martha! These are my goals and I hope to obtain all but you know how hard it can be… Let’s make a pact to try and do all we can to accomplish them. I know we can do it! Hugs! xx
I am writing a book in 2018. So many people through the years have told me “you should write a book” about all my travels and funny adventures. I don’t know that my book will ever be published but I plan to write it anyway.
Also I am going to something very difficult. I’ve had a friend for 35+ years and now it is time to let her go. She is never interested in my life at all. It’s always about HER. I have been very ill through the years…..breast cancer, stomach surgery, hysterectomy, severe anemia….and she never asks how I am feeling. Last February on her birthday I was in the hospital for a blood transfusion and 2 iron infusions. I was so sick. And she got upset with me for not wishing her a happy birthday. She still brings it up! I’m just too old to put up with her BS any longer.
I wish you, Jeff, Emma and Zack great success in 2018. Always, Renee ?
Sooo frustrating Renee. I am so sorry you have been going through all of this with someone you should be able to call a good friend. I think you are doing the right thing. As Oprah says, “Surround yourself with people who feed you in life”. We have enough difficulties than to spend time with those who drain us… who don’t really care.
Hugs and congratulations for standing tall. You are so strong! Look at everything you have been through all ready… xx
Thanks for sharing your goals! You have inspired me to push forward and set some myself personal and work related. For the past few years I’ve wanted to start a blog but always find an excuse to put it off maybe 2018 will be my year to push forward. . Happy New Year to You!
Thanks Teresa… I completely get it. I feel like you do so much of the time but think I’m really ready to tackle my goals this year. I think you should go for it! How exciting! Hugs and good luck. Let me know how your blog is going once you get thing up and running… xx
Great personal goals! I think it is important to continually strive to improve ourselves.
I love your Cavalier! They are the sweetest & most loving dogs.
I love watching you in story especially (you such a natural) – love your goals both personal and business and I’m positive you will surpass them too! It’s good to put them out there so it can keep you focused- keep working hard and know you are appreciated!!
Thanks so much Melody! You are the sweetest… I figure I may as well be myself in stories since everyone will learn who I am over time anyhow. ;) Here’s to setting goals and sticking with them! Hugs! xx
These are awesome goals, and I feel like you’ve already really stepped up your blogging game in recent months! You hold yourself to a very high standard— I think you’re more organized than anyone I know! Also— I highly recommend doterra essential oils— particularly the Serenity blend— to help you sleep!!
Love reading your posts and following your Instagram today’s post was just the motivation I needed to finally set some goals for myself and business. I feel like I am always “flying by the seat of my pants!” Thanks for the inspiration.
As for your sugar you will be amazed at how well you feel when you cut back. I recently had an intestinal virus (nothing serious) and have been on a very restricted diet for 2 weeks I have so much energy, the end of day diggings is gone and I am sleeping better ( Oreos were my go to breakfast!). My unintentional cleanse was actually a gift and I am going to keep the sugars to a minimum going forward!
All the best to you in 2018 – you are such an inspiration and I look forward seeing your business grow!
Hi Pam, You are so right! So many great things about cutting sugar… I’ve done this before on numerous occasions but now I’m really in need of some discipline. Thanks for the motivation! Happy New Year! xx
Hi Kristy! I love your goals, and that you split them between personal and business. You ve inspired me to make my list too!
I know that one thing that helps is to keep your list of goals visible, on your planner every day, and, say, on your makeup mirror or bathroom mirror!
To cut sugar increase your protein and salt. Every time you crave sugar eat more protein, it works! Also, Costco sells a GREAT brand of chocolate protein shakes that have only 5 grams of carbs and 30 of protein . You ‘ll love them! About $1 each and they don’t even taste “healthy,” they taste like a treat!
Best of luck to you. I soooo look forward to your 2018 posts, stories and blogs, and I love the links to products. I buy stuff that way all the time from your page!
Take care! Be healthy!
Dana
Thanks so much Dana and thank you for all the tips about the protein. I’ll definitely have to check out the Costco chocolate protein shake. I’m there all the time.. ;) Good luck with your goals too.. I’ll have to post mine somewhere so that I can see them every day. Great idea! Happy New Year! xx
Fabulous goals!! As a mama to 2 adorable little girls I want to start living simpler in every asps of life. From the ingredients in our foods to the way I schedule our days – simpler sounds and feels lighter. I want to set the tone for our family in the most positive of ways, and I think decluttering our lives and simplifying routines and meals and all the things in between will help this Mama to be a better everything! Cheers to all of our successes! Xo
Your daughters will thank you as they get older Blair. My mom is queen of decluttering and I love that. It’s taught me so much about how to lead a more cleaner and simpler life. Simple is a good thing as they say… Hugs and Happy New Year! xx
Kristy, such awesome goals; I think we may be twins. I just got my nails done for the first time in 4 months too haha! And, I am right there with you on the business goals. Let’s kick butt in 2018- here’s to a fantastic year ahead!! Xoxo
