Usually by the first week of January I’m all amped up and gung-ho about the new year with goals neatly listed in my bullet journal and new habits are either finding their place in my day or dying a thousand deaths faster than you can say “Happy New Year” (side eye to you, 5:30am workout).
This year is a little different. I’m not exactly sure why, but I’m moving a little slower- a little easier this January. I have more of what you might call “intentions” than hard goals, I’m still praying about what my word of the year will be, and I’m just not feeling particularly motivated in general… Not yet anyway. Check back with me next week?
Either way, January is here, with all it’s expectations, possibility, and potential whether we’re ready for it or not.
I’m not sure where you’re at with all of that- maybe you’re still taking time to reflect on the last year, maybe you’ve already shaken off the dust of the bizarro year that was 2017 and you’re busy feeling like a new you, or maybe you couldn’t give a flying fart in a whirlwind about all this “resolution” nonsense even if you wanted to, which you don’t.
Wherever you happen to land on that spectrum, I figure we’re all probably just doing our best to recalibrate and find our rhythm after the holidays- I know I am. 🙋🏼To borrow a quote from Stuart on Mad TV, “I’m going at my own pace!”
I tried to find a GIF of that sketch, but apparently it was too deep of a cut, even for Google, so for all you fellow 90’s teens who can appreciate it, here’s a different GIF of Stuart:
Anyway, I decided that instead of trying to come out of the 2018 gate with some deep, thought provoking, world changing piece, it would be more fun to take a quick look back at some of our favorite posts from 2017. So I did some investigating and these were the top 5 most-viewed posts from the blog last year. Some of them are my own personal favorites as well.
Here they are, in case you missed them!
When Your Body is Having a Mid-Life Crisis
To the Mom Who Feels Constantly Needed & Rarely Seen
When Your Soul Needs a Slower Pace
When You’re in Danger of Dreaming Too Small (Or Not At All)
Motherhood, Creative Work, & When You’re Not Sure if You’re Getting it Right
It’s always kind of fun to revisit old favorites, and as we head into a new year together I’m so encouraged and excited to see that the message surfacing on my heart has also been resonating with you too.
Here’s to dreaming big, uncovering our creativity, and getting after it in the middle of our right-now lives.
Love you guys,
Mean it.
