05 Jan Hello 2016 | Random Thoughts on a New Year

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m having a slow start to the New Year. While I’m eager to see what 2016 brings, I’m just not quite ready to let go of 2015. Which is surprising, actually. 2015 was a little overwhelming, and I thought I’d be ready to jump into a new year. Instead, I’m feeling a little under the weather and still haven’t written down my 2016 goals. Shame, shame. Instead, I find myself just wanting to rest and enjoy the quiet for a bit longer.

We didn’t have a whole lot of quiet in 2015, so that’s a priority for 2016. I love our life, and love how busy we are, but don’t always love how often we’re busy. I want to balance the busy with quiet.

Some other things I would love for 2016:

• chaos control. I suck at this.
• more “no,” less “yes.”
• less STUFF. It’s time to purge.
• more inspiration, less desperation.
• less weight. on my shoulders. on my body.

Some new things you can expect from me this year on the blog:

• More personal posts. My favorite thing about my job is getting to know my clients, so it’s only fair you get to know me!
• More lifestyle posts. Ed and I love marriage and family, and we think we’re pretty good at it. We want to share more from our experiences.
• More wedding tips. These seem to be popular!
• More behind the scenes. We want to give you a little peek into what weddings look like for us.

Writing down thoughts and goals is the easy part. The hard part is making a plan for success. Figuring out how to make these things happen. I didn’t do that last year. I thought writing down goals and having them stare at me would be enough. I was wrong. This year I’m figuring things out.

As soon as I get over this cold.

Cheers!
