Hello, readers! Happy New Year! I remember being a kid and thinking the 2020s seemed so far away, and now it’s already 2024!
Last year I focused on family & motherhood (which was truly so sweet) and now I want to really bring my writing back into focus this year.
Little Bear (my daughter) is now practically half a year old and loves to sit up and try to crawl. She’s a big smiler and loves to laugh. It has been so much fun to watch her grow! If you’re interested in more about my personal life, I share more in monthly newsletter!
Writing has been going well. Rose’s Ruin is about 2K-5K words away from the first draft being completely done and then it’s on the editing stage! Hoping to have that done by the end of this year.
A lot of my goals/resolutions this year are writing-related and I wanted share them so you can have an idea of what my plans are for this year.
Goals/Resolutions of 2024
- Read a book a month
- Walk weekly
- Journal weekly
- Exercise 3x a week
- Fast once a month
- Study two books of the Bible
- Go out for coffee w friends once a month
- Write 10k words a month
- Blog twice a month
- Newsletter once a month
- To end the year living a more minimalist lifestyle than I started
- To start my online digital sales business
I’m not if I will stick strictly to these the whole year, but they do reflect my desire for more structure and discipline this year. After having a baby, it’s important for me to really prioritize restoring health to my body and my mind. Exercising and writing have always done that for me. I also want to push myself spiritually by putting an emphasis on the concept of fasting and deep-diving into the Word of God.
Again, hope you all had a wonderful year where you grew & learned. What are some goals/resolutions you have?
