A Word for 2021 + Goals & Intentions

Happy New Year! Ironically I didn’t set many goals for 2020. This year has to be better than 2020 for everyone, right? I hope it isn’t worse for so many reasons. Don’t get me wrong, 2020 was a challenge, but we are very fortunate, and we definitely made the most of all the extra family time. My thoughts and prayers are with anyone and everyone who struggled or lost a loved one in 2020. To start this year off right I’m setting some 2021 goals and intentions. Did you write yours down yet?

A Word for 2021

For 2021 my word is balance. It’s something I’ve always struggled with. I have a lot going on and I feel like I’m always getting pulled in different directions. Here’s to a year with more intentional balance.

My 2021 goals & interntions include:

First and foremost, make the best of every day!

Focus on my blog more! I have so many drafts started 66, and I hope to finish and publish each one! Expect a lot more travel content, including a travel itinerary for Paris, Greece, Albania, and Costa Rica. Travel seems like a thing of the past, but one day it will be obtainable again!

Actual travel isn’t on my list this year for obvious reasons. BUT I will be going back and sharing all my tips and itinerary for traveling with kids. We’ve been so fortunate with the exotic locations we’ve had the pleasure of visiting.

Organize EVERYTHING –To start, I’ll be organizing at least one thing a day. When I’m busy with work or the girls, I can do something small like a desk drawer or the center console of my car; every little bit helps. At work, they say you can do almost anything for 15 minutes. That is where started 15 minutes a day of organizing, purging, and decluttering.

Here are some helpful organizational items I’ve recently ordered & I’m looking forward to finding more!

Be present. Using time blocks has always been important as a work from home mom. Since my kids are still home (distance learning), it’s even more important to use time blocks for all the things. When it is my time with the family, the phone gets put away so I can’t get distracted by emails and social media.

Happiness – I will be focusing on things that make me happy. Maybe you’d call it self care? Things like relearning to play the guitar, painting, designing, getting outside, and taking photos. Do something that makes YOU happy every day.
