I know, I know - for resolutions/goals to work and be successful they usually have to be specific and have a timeline. However, I think that a lot of these things are goals that I need to work toward every single day and that there will never be a day that I will feel like all is done and that I have done enough. I think 2016 will be the year that I learn that not everything has to have a deadline or a specific schedule - daily thought and devotion will surely get me to where I need to be in the long run!

I hope you all have a wonderful 2016! Make it count!

xo, me.

Tips to look back on and keep in mind:

1. Boys schhh-moys... you've been on a solid track since becoming single - KEEP IT THAT WAY. If a boy interferes with your dreams, run run run far away.
