2013: New Year, New Things

Okay, so I know I"m a little late in the game as far as "New Year's Resolutions" go, but I did want to take a minute and lay out what I am working towards for 2013. I have a feeling about this year, and I know it's going to be crazy and yet amazing at the same time. I have my own little list of goals for this year (Hint hint, Brady...) but I want to share some of the big ones here with you.

1. Breathe
So many times in the past few years, I have been tangled up in one emergency situation or another. This means I have constantly been an emotional roller coaster, and I'm not even a big fan of roller coasters. I have emotional high's and low's and can never seem to find any middle ground. I either love it or I hate it. In 2013, I'm going to rant less, jump to conclusions less and focus on taking a step back when I need to. In short, i'm going to breathe more.

2. Create
This one is vague for a reason. There are SO many ideas in my little head about anything and everything. Businesses I want to start, things I want to do - my mind is literally going a thousand miles a minute each and every day. Coupled with my obsessive need to craft and bake, I feel like this year is the year to get things going. I'm going to bake more, craft more, and most of all SHARE more. This sad little blog has been neglected for so long that I bet you forgot I even had it, and that makes my heart ache. I love to create, to see something in my mind and then make it happen - and in 2013 you're going to see a LOT more of that, I promise!

3. Focus
2013 is the year where I strap on the blinders and get down to business (not to defeat the huns, sadly.) I am going to focus more on tasks that I am doing while I am doing them, and not let my mind wander to other things. This means focusing more on school, on work and on thoughts I am having. I am going to pick a few things to do and then do them, rather than just let all of my ideas spin around in my head, collecting dust. I am going to remember that I can't do everything, and I am going to focus on doing what I CAN do at 100%

I am excited for everything that this year is going to bring! I hope I'm not alone in having these three big goals - I know they may seem to be simple concepts, but sometimes you've gotta work on the basics before you get to the big stuff.

Keeping these goals in mind, you are going to start seeing a lot more of me, so be prepared! (Also, I don't know how to write a serious post without adding in a ton of movie references. I guess today was Disney.)
