When I awoke on 1/1/22, I realized that 2021 felt like a much faster version on 2020 (AKA The year of several groundhog days). The day was full of conflicting emotions. I was excited about starting out a new year with all of the personal and professional possibilities, but I was also worried that we did not have everything in our rearview mirror yet. I realized that I took New Years for granted.
2022 is going to be different. This is at least what I have told myself. I have big goals for this year!
I plan to start another Masters program in Human Resources.
I plan to run my second half marathon in Napa and my FIRST marathon at Chicago.
I plan to see my friends for our first girls trip in three years.
I plan to read a book a month.
I plan to volunteer monthly.
I plan to raise money with my husband for the MS foundation.
I plan to complete a Master class or LinkedIn learning session monthly.
I plan to work on becoming better at meditation and my yoga practice.
I plan to make new breakfast recipes and seek out new cookbooks.
I know that my goals do not rely only on me. There are MANY other people that help me bring my big plans to life. I have friends, family, colleagues, and strangers that support my dreams.
Without them, my goals are only words on a piece of paper.
Cheers to those communities that love me, support me, guide me and challenge me to a better version everyday!
