Hello Loves! Where has time gone? I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and Holiday season and felt showered with love and family and friends. If you didn't get that feeling then you better join me next year and follow our family along on social media at least to know how loved and cared for you are! This year was one of the best for us! We went to Melbourne, Florida and celebrated with my sweet mama and my brother and his family! It was so fun to see them all and to be in PERFECT weather! 75 degrees, sun's out, has a slight breeze... what more could you ask for? It was absolutely beautiful! We spent the days going to thrift shops, trying new food, seeing some surfing Santas, and literally just chilin! It was much needed and perfect. The drive their felt like it took days (took about 18 hrs) but when you get to have an experience like that it is so worth it. Anyways, it was amazing to say the least.

Now that we're home we don't want to drive anywhere or actually do anything so guess what New Years Eve looks like for us? THAT'S RIGHT! Shrimp cock tail, pizza, wine, movies and the Nintendo switch in P.J.s AT HOME. Ahh I can't wait as I write this! We've been home for about three days now and have been go-go-go ever since with work and catching up on life. Tonight will be the perfect chill night to ring in the New Year with! If you're going out tonight I hope you have so much fun and are safe! Party on girl, Party on! Next year we will definitely be going out since it'll be first year being 21 and I'll definitely be going out! For tonight, I'm good. So, as all of you start getting your New Years goals ready and planing on what to different and what your biggest goal for the year will be I want to let you in on mine and what I'll be focusing on or doing differently.

For me as a young woman and entrepreneur that's also married sometimes it seems I'm expected of so much and so sometimes I make it a goal to accomplish standards that I feel I'm pressured to become and surprisingly I've found that it is so common in many people. I am not doing that this year. This year I want to focus on growing myself (not my waist size please!!) and becoming the best version of myself that doesn't need anything except my own drive to flourish. I want to take what I'm doing on an everyday basis and alter it on a spiritual level and on a more focused level. I feel by doing this then I'll expand everything and accomplish things on a long term basis that will also leave an impact. I want to do things in love ya'll and I mean all things. I want to start loving people more and showing it, enough with the timidness. I'm ready to go out of my way and communicate with people I don't know so well and do it with love each time. When we're set in our ways and we're so comfortable there becomes a point where we need to ask ourselves "What's the point of being comfortable all of our lives and not reaching out with love and making an impact." I have to realized that what we do in front of people and on an everyday basis effects people that we don't know. When you're checking out at the grocery store, when you smiled at that person at the gas station. Everybody is going through something in their life and I feel like showing the Lords love for them through me is something small that could change something else so big, meaning their life. You never know what could happen.

I think another thing that will be big this year is balance. I get these drives to just keep going and going and I feel so motivated like I've never felt before. After those moments of high-high I get pretty Low-Lows. I feel like doing nothing I feel burnt out and there are moments where I will stare at the screen with nothing to offer, just lost in myself. I feel like if I distribute my time and stay consistent on things that I do I will get more balance...I think. This is just something I don't like that has effected me a lot this year and I really need to change it whether that means being consistent, managing time better, knowing when to stop, etc. if all that could be a word that would be my word. I'll be more aware of when this happens though and I'll be able to control, in a sense, my moves and what I need to do to help and better my mood and feelings. I know I'm not the only one who goes through this and I feel as if It's so well-known but never talked about. So, I'm letting ya'll know I want to work on it and I'm going to and I'll update you and let you know how I can overcome these Low-lows.

This year will be full of New Goals made, New things ahead and a New adventure. I'm always excited for a New Year ( for the planner though, let's be real ). It feels like a fresh start and a new page. I LOVE that feeling. It's the same feeling I get after I deep clean my house. I know you all know that fresh start feeling! I hope that's how you feel in the New Year, I hope that you forgive, wipe your mind clean of clutter (and your house). My prayer for all of you this year and our family is that your year will be a year full of learning about yourself and what you're capable of. I pray that you use the talents and gifts God gave you that you didn't know you had. I pray that you seek those and use them to the best of your ability. I love you all and I am so excited for the New Year and instead of there being a New Me there will be the same me with more Love and figuring out my deepest capabilities as you do to!

Love you all and Happy New Year!
