Why do you need to take time to do an End-of-Year Review? An End of Year Review is necessary for growth, because to know what feels good, what needs to change, what habits to break or implement, etc, you have to know where you are. Everything needs to be measured so that when you later look back on your growth, you can identify how far you’ve come. This also allows room for gratitude for the people in your life You cannot create a new version of yourself without knowing where you currently are and how you feel about certain areas …

Christmas is THE BUSIEST time of the year. It’s Magical, yet overwhelming. You are probably OZ behind the curtain making all the plans come together, the memories, the fun crafts and cookies, the joy, all of it. Not saying we don’t have help, but most of the creativity probably comes from you. If your planner looks like mine, you will have Christmas parties and events, Tree Lightings, Viewing of Christmas lights ( a favorite tradition of mine), family and friends visiting, etc. And that’s just what is written down on paper. There are shopping days to think about, sales events, …
What Are Core Values A core value is defined as “a principle or belief that a person views as central importance.” Core Values are the motivating factors behind how a person behaves and makes the decisions they do. Most people may not be aware of their core values, or even have any knowledge that is how they show up in the world. I certaintly didn’t for a long time. But when you spend time to become aware of what truly matters to you, then you can use those values as a compass in how you show up in your life. …

It can consist of images and text that relate to the person making it, and can serve as a motivational tool to keep your focus on continuing progress on your goals. Most of us get super excited about our goals around New Years, and then by mid-February, we’ve lost all traction. Once that traction is lost, our self doubt begins to speak, and those goals may not come to fruition. …

I feel that I have a purpose to help other people start small in their goals and I really want to share how I have changed my own life. My personal intention with this accountability group is to learn how others …
Happy meal planning friends! If you are like me, you are always wondering what in the world is for dinner! And even though we are always having to make dinner, it seems like I can never figure out something new to make. This is our meal plan for the month of April.

Currently, she is in swim lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I know those 2 days need to be easy meals as we eat dinner late. We also have a standing tradition that Friday nights …
WE DID IT!!!! We crossed a huge, long term goal off our out west bucket list!! Our dream vacation was to travel to the Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Zion National Park, and Las Vegas on our Out West Bucket List Vacation.
