I've been putting off this post for nearly three weeks and the time has finally come to sit down with my goals and prepare for the year ahead. There was something extremely daunting about the task this time around and I think it might be because 2015 was a huge year! Within the span of twelve short months Ainsworth and I tied the knot, I took on a huge amount of creative work, Lorelai grew in ways we still can't wrap our heads around and I found a new career path. Needless to say, all of these developments were incredible but the year left me feeling a little exhausted. That said, I'm ready to take on 2016 with gusto!
It seems like the creation of resolutions lists is a tradition that's falling by the wayside. These days I'm much more inclined to fixate on a single theme for the months ahead and this year is all about mindfulness. This year my goal is to be mindful of everything; of what goes into my body, of the ways I am spending my time, of the things I am teaching my daughter (both intentionally and unconsciously) and of everything I do and participate in that will somehow shape my life in 2016. It's a big undertaking but I'm excited to put mindfulness into practice.
