I am a firm believer in voicing your goals. Voicing them makes them more concrete and harder to give up on because others can hold you accountable. SO. Yall, this is me asking you to hold me accountable! I’ll be happy to do the same for you if you’d like 🙂 

2015 was a year to remember. I am so blessed and I want 2016 to be a year of reflection and growth so first off, my personal goals…

1. Be healthy again. I have let hot wings and cookies creep back into my life. While I think you should never sacrifice a fun time for a diet (meaning if my friends are ordering late night pizza, I am not sitting out), I do not want to lose all of the hard work that I put in this summer to get fit. 

2. Visit my friends. My job allows me to work from home and travel. I want to take full advantage of that. I am putting that plan into action next week and headed to DC and NYC!

3. Read more. More of the Bible, more books, more blogs. I want to grow.

4. Stick to a budget. Its time to be a grown up so I made us a budget full of things like saving and investing and eating out less. And spending less on clothes. Womp womp. 

Professional goals:

1. Become a photoshop pro. So many doors can open with new skills and photoshop has always intrigued me. Plus if my fitness thing doesn’t work out, I’ll be able to edit myself to look more in shape. Lol. Jk. 

2. Network more. I used to know everyone in the city we lived in North Carolina and now I know hardly anyone professionally or personally. I’ve been a hermit slacker. I’d also love to start a blogger meet up! 

3. Try new things. On my own blog and beyond. If at first you don’t succeed, try again. I better learn a ton of new things this year. Too many to type out. 

Maybe throw a new pet in too ;). What do you want to do in 2016?
