They’re all tied together with being more intentional with your time, energy, money, mental space, etc. I’ve found a lot of my friends and family are working on the same thing. Less time scrolling through social media and more time actually being present in life! Can’t wait to see what 2019 brings!

Mainly trusting myself, my ambitions, my dreams, my instincts. I keep saying “I trust myself” when I feel unsure about something and it snaps me right into the mindset I want to be in for 2019.

GLIDE

As in “to move smoothly and continuously along, as if without effort or resistance.” It’s perfect. It’s not stagnant, there’s purpose and progress. It’s not passive, it’s deliberate. But it leaves room for spontaneity and opportunity, with none of the frustration that comes with pushing too hard.

I also, am not a big believer in resolutions, but rather setting goals, and revelations for whats to come. I’ve spent the last few years trying to define myself – which while corny, is accurate as I think it took me a long time to get into a groove with what my future would hold and being OK without knowing what the next step might be. I am psyched that 2019 is here.

I think if I had to pick a word(s) it would be strength of conviction. I am feeling like this year my blog is going to take off because I finally am feeling confident in what I’m doing. And it is that kind of attitude, I’ve always believed that will drive success.

I also am SUPER excite for Katie Gill (see above) to be moving home. She and I are both pretty aggressive Jess Kirby fans, and likely are reading these as soon as you send them.

Thank you always for your guidance and thoughts

Much love. xo

I want to be more intentional with my time this year, and how I spend my days…with the idea of working smarter, not necessarily harder. There are things in my business that I spend too much time on, and would benefit from automating, and/or delegating tasks out.

It’s going to be a big year for me, I am moving back to Newport with my SO, after being in Philly together for 6 years. We are buying a home and will be rebuilding our life together in a new (but familiar) spot. That will be a big change in my business, and I am nervous but excited to see where it goes.

Looking forward to tomorrow’s post!
