Looking back at 2014, it was a pretty eventful year, but I can't say that I stuck to my resolutions very well. I always go for your typical eat better, exercise more, blah blah blah. This year, I've decided to switch things up. Instead of getting rid of things, I'm going to ADD. Add more family and friend time, add paying it forward tasks, and add positive focus.
It is SO easy for me (and probably many of you) to see the negative. I want to try and find that silver lining in things. I want this year to be about letting others know how much they mean to me and how they impact my life. I want to help others the best I can, and I want to make sure I carve out quality time with loved ones. So often we "talk" about what we want to do, but when it comes to actually doing it, we don't follow through. This year WILL be different!!! Who's with me?!
So here are my thoughts for the year.
1. Family/friend time
- at least one dinner per month with family and/or friends. We are always together in large masses where it's so hard to have a quality conversation with anyone. This will give us that opportunity!
2. Pay it forward
- I'm still figuring this one out, but there are so many things that I can do to make it an impact. Sometimes even just a smile at someone makes a huge difference!
- Register for races that donate to charity. I register for 3-5 races a year. This year, I want to make sure that the races raising funds and awareness for a charity.
3. Positive focus
- This isn't a set activity thing per se, but hopefully will be built in my mind set for the new year. Spending quality time with loved ones and doing things I love, would definitely build my positive focus.
I can't wait to share projects and tips throughout the year that will help us show our love and passion!

What's your New Year's resolution?! I would love to hear from you!!
