Now that 2016 has come to a close and we’ve started 2017, John and I did a little reflection and planning for the new year. I thought I’d share a little of that with you!
We usually assign a meaningful word to live by for each year. In 2016, that word for me was courage. Every time I was feeling anxious, shy, unsure or just plain scared, I remembered that word and pushed through. Starting this blog last year is definitely an example of me doing just that. To those that have met me, I seem like quite the extrovert but I’m actually not! There were so many instances where I had to keep referring myself to that word, courage, and each time it helped.
For 2017, my word is believe!
This is the year where I will pay a little more attention on myself, both inside and out. I’m determined this year to believe in myself and to let all of the unnecessary worry go. Not feeling good enough. Feeling judged. The worry of saying/doing the wrong thing. Worrying about what people say/think. Terrible wastes of time. Remind me of this post when I go back on the anxiety train 😉
On the blog front, I hope to reach more people and do a few collaborations – that would be crazy fun! I may even brave doing a One Room Challenge although re-designing a space in 6 weeks is quite daunting!
How do you deal with the new year? Do you do the same thing and set goals for yourself? Or is it more in the form of resolutions? Do you stick with them?
We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled program next week so stay tuned! (More organizing tips, a free printable and a little re-design awaits!)

I’m all about the goal planning! I have a word for the year, too – Acceptance. This year I’m focusing on accepting and embracing a lot of changes that occurred in 2016. I have a feeling 2017 is going to be an amazing year for you and this blog – I can’t wait to see more posts!!!
Happy New Year :):)
