It is simply amazing how each year feels fresh and full of opportunity. I am not a resolution person, but I do believe goals create a pathway from dreams to reality.

In the past I questioned myself in regard to blogging. I struggled as a stay at home mom and wondered why I had ambition. Why I had so many ideas. Most of the women I knew considered blogging and social media a waste of time.

The past few years I have slowly grown more confident. Ideas and passion are good gifts. My husband is a support and and finding other like-minded women around the globe has been hugely encouraging.

So without further ado....here are my goals for the upcoming year!

Business Goals for 2015

Take a local or online writing course

Study photography

Keep a consistent schedule

Take more risks with my brand

Work hard-rest hard

Update/small reno to our half-bath, dining room, and kitchen

Personalize our home with artwork and photography

Seek out freelance work

Personal Goals for 2015

Get out and about, learn more about North Carolina

Plug into the community

Consistent Bible study (just joined a study through our church for the next semester)

Find exercise I enjoy and stay motivated

Encourage our children's strengths

Be a support to my husband

Continue to read books (I'm partial to fiction, but try to read non fiction too..)

Add a puppy to the family! We need a purebred non-shedding and it needs to be good with kids (any suggestions? would love a mini golden doodle, but they are expensive!)

Today I am linking up with the Tiny Twig. Do you have any business or personal goals for 2015? I would love to hear about them!
