Hello 2023!

Hello 2023

I love the start of a new year. It has been a tradition since I was a teenager to sit down on New Year’s Eve, find a comfy spot, grab my journal, planner, and magazines and plan out the upcoming year.

My tradition continues but with a few updates. First, I set an intention, light a candle, get in my comfy spot and surround myself with my animals. Next, I grab my journal, planner, stickers, and laptop. Next, I do journaling, create lists, and follow up by searching for images on Pinterest.

I then spend a few hours sitting, planning, dreaming, and enjoying the process I created so many years ago.

The only thing that has changed is I no longer watch the countdown on TV. Now let’s be honest, I am getting older, so the chances of me being awake at the stroke of midnight haven’t been my priority for the past few years. Although, even when I have fallen asleep, I managed to wake up just in time to bring in the new year before nodding off for the night.

I no longer host New Year parties or attend them. Instead, I prefer a cozy night at home with my husband and animals and do what I love to do; plan and create.

As I step into 2023, I want to remember that. I want to create a life I love living. I want to be present, enjoy life, and not rush through it.
  • I want to read the books I purchased currently sitting on my shelf.
  • I want to use and share the overwhelming amount of craft and planning supplies I have gathered over the years.
  • I want to spend more time with my grandchildren and document their lives.
  • I want to spend more time playing and being with my dog Bailey.
  • I want to travel more with my husband and start making time to create memories with him.
  • Finally, I want to make my home cozy and comfy and get back to gardening.
​
I want to be purposeful with my time and spend it wisely doing what matters most, and I don’t want to let go of the people, places, and things that are not worth it.

So 2023, here I come!
