Happy New Year!

Happiest of New Years to you! Hopefully everyone had an opportunity to take a break over the holidays to rest and reflect on the past year, enjoy loved ones, and set your sights on your next adventure. 

It seems nearly impossible that we are already in 2023. How can that be? Growing up people often were heard saying that time goes by so fast. The older I get, the more truer that becomes. For you too? 

For me, it is also true that I increasingly cherish the excitement of a new year. Like, giddy excitement. Literally. In fact, as an avid bullet journaler, the journal for the new year is often purchased in November or early December. The official opening of the bullet journal usually happens after Christmas. That remains true this time too! 

So, how did you prepare for this new year? Or is your plan to not plan?

Did you make note of the things that are carryovers from last year (or the year before for those of us who are still working on longer-term projects) that need to be completed? "Longer-term projects" is a nice way to say something is taking too long or is the victim of procrastination.😁 

Did you wipe the slate clean for everything else? 

Have you penciled in the vision for your new year? Or maybe penned it in? Perhaps you used a permanent marker instead? (High five to you!)

Do you have a plan in place? 

Did you identify your word-of-the-year and / or a verse-of-the-year to help guide you and keep you focused? 

All organized? 

Ready to jump right in? 

Yeah, me too. 

Let's go! 

It's worth repeating: Happy New Year!
