\u201cAuthenticity is everything! You have to wake up every day and look in the mirror, and you want to be proud of the person who\u2019s looking back at you. And you can only do that if you are being honest with yourself and and being a person of high character. You have an opportunity every single day to write that story of your life.\u201d – Aaron Rodgers

“2019 is going to be my year!” How many times have we all said that to each other?! Establishing resolutions each year, that go out of the window by the of February. I know I am guilty of this. That was 2018. I had it all planned out. I was going to travel every month, going some place new. My blog was going to be were I needed it to be. Life\u2026nice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life… Or something like it!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you know that did not pan out the way I anticipated. Life showed its ass and threw a monkey wrench in the everything. Work took over. I was physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually burnout. Depression kicked in. My days consisted of going through the motions, only doing what was required. Neglecting other areas of my life.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was tired! Blog posts ceased and became a struggle to keep up with. Desire to write wained. Serious blogcation was in full affect. Towards the end of 2018, things changed. I made the conscious decision to relax, take it easy. Learning that it was okay to do so. And the world continued spinning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2019 is the year of me. I know, isn\u2019t every year the year of me?! This is all about of me. Not in some narcissistic vibe, but putting myself-first-for-my-sanity kinda vibe. Thinking of my future self in all that I do. I know my post is a little late, but its a step in the right direction. My direction!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following are my goals and dreams for 2019. Some are a culmination of what I set out to achieve in 2018 and what I want to bring to fruition in 2019. These are intentional and specific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
