I had planned to relaunch this blog on January 1, 2024 exactly— but one of my New Year’s resolutions is to make it happen. Over the years, I found that I have many plans that I wanted to start “when I am ready” and many things I love doing but had set aside for “when I have free time”.
If anything, all this waiting for the right time had just hindered me in many ways. Somehow, the right time never came. So I have decided that as we speak, I am no longer thinking waiting for things to happen. Instead, I am claiming a life that is authentic to me.
With that said, I am that person who gets excited for the New Year. There’s something about this time of the year that is just brimming with motivation and focus! I love resolutions, creating vision boards, and starting a new planner.
I had been reflecting- this year had been absolutely magical. Top highlights include: Me and my husband recently got married over the summer, honeymooned in Barbados, I started working from home, we celebrated many milestones with our families and friends, I went to a Taylor Swift concert, and also traveled extensively.
2023 also taught me many important lessons on setting boundaries and protecting my peace. Growing means allowing myself to break from unhealthy patterns and unhealthy relationships.
Between now and the New Year, I will be making time to take inventory of 2023— reassessing what I will leave, what I will take to the New Year, what I can make better— and chronicling it all here!
