The New Year is here. I hope that you all enjoyed your holiday break!!
I wanted to just share a few things today. I do not make resolutions, but I've always set goals. And I thought I would share some of the things from 2015 and how I will move forward in 2016.
I think the first place to start is with my personal growth this year. I think this has been the biggest growing year for me. Maybe it's just been maturity. Maybe the things that had happened made me see the big picture better, but all together I think this has been a good year for personal growth. I know where I really want to be, and I've done a great deal to get myself there. I see what really matters in life and I'm making sure that the little stuff doesn't get in the way.
I have read two books this year that really spoke to me. First, was For the Love and I knew that it was written for me. Each page had me saying YES, that is what I am thinking!! It was refreshing to read it and know that I was on the right page. Pun intended. LOL
The other one was the Fringe Hours, which I finished over the break I took.
Another goal I was really happy about is my Health. I've struggled with my weight for awhile, and by struggle I mean, I would think I need to do something about it, and then I would say, Naw, I'm good. This summer, Greg and I took part in a Sugar Detox. And it wasn't as scary as it's sounds. In fact, it was the best thing I've done! I didn't have the rotten stomach feeling, I wasn't as tired, and I didn't have any more heart burn. In fact, I didn't think I had really felt that bad, until I was actually feeling so good.
The other great part was the 20 lbs that just fell off!!
I've struggled now since the fall to keep up the lifestyle. Between work, and running after kids, it's super hard to keep up with good eating. But I am trying. And I've been able to stay below that 20 lbs that I lost. I've completely abandoned ship a few times, and OH.... I feel so gross when I do. So I know that there is something there that is really working for me!!
I think that I will share more of this as the year goes on, and keep you all updated on my progress, as well as share some tips. I am hoping in doing that it will keep me motivated.
In the craft department, which is what I share mostly here, I'm really happy that I have made it a priority again. I still don't have the time I would love to spend on here, but I am hoping to get back in the swing of things now. There is so much fun stuff to share with Close to my Heart. And I've been making a list of fun things to share with you all both here and on YouTube!
This is what my room looked like for most of last week. HEAVEN!!
I hope that you all join me often. As this week goes on, I have posts ready to share. Make sure you check them all out.
Thanks for the chat! Tomorrow, I'm sharing my new Planner System, and later in the week, I'll share what's happening with CTMH this month!
I hope that you are all ready for a brand New Year!!
