new year’s resolutions ✨

hi girls! how many of you make new year’s resolutions and do they work for you?!

last year was the first year i seriously made new year’s resolutions, and i hung them up above my desk to look at it everyday and remind myself of what goals i had in mind.

but today i took a look back on the resolutions i made last year; run 3 times a week, apply for more mtels, have a more positive outlook on life, go to church more often, be more cautious about my washing my face, love and appreciate others more, be a better friend, spend money on lasting memories and not on pointless items, be more mindful and grateful. looking back i did accomplish a lot of those resolutions which is good.. but I know that I can do better in 2019.

I do believe though, that over the last year i have had a more positive outlook on life, i’ve definitely been more grateful for who and what i have in my life and that in turn has made me feel more appreciative. I did start going to church weekly throughout lent, but I haven’t lately which I plan on doing more religiously. And lastly spending money on memories rather than things-, the amount of adventures i’ve been able to do over the past year to fill my memory tank is unbelievable. Sports games, ski trips, world trips, etc! I truly believe that creating memories with those you love are so important, MORE important than any material item.

For 2019, I will continue to work on the resolutions I made in 2018 AND i will add these;

Since i’ve created this blog, I realized i want to take this more seriously. I want to create more content, I want to gain more followers and ultimately by the end of 2019 my goal is ultimately to be apart of the liketoknowit / reward style team. I know this is achievable, but it’s going to take a lo t of work which i am so ready for. I am so grateful for all of you who stand by me and continuously cheer me on! So please please, if you wouldn’t mind sharing my blogs with your family & friends, and following me on instagram to keep up with my posts. It means the world ❤️

BUT As much as i want that, becoming a teacher has been my dream and goal for YEARS. And over the last couple years I let life & failure get in the way of my goal. But that all changes now, RIGHT NOW to all of my readers and to myself – i am promising that i will do everything it takes to become a teacher in 2019. I will pass all the mtels I need to take to make this dream a reality, and i’m not stopping until i get those emails that say “passed” (and i’m not kidding after the 10+ i’ve taken 🙃 i’m celebrating EXTRAVAGANTLY when i pass lol)

I hope that since I was able to accomplish some of my resolutions over this last year, my own will and of course with the guidance of God, that I will be able to chase all of my dreams.

2019 is going to be my year.

thank you for reading (as always!!)
