HAPPY NEW YEAR!

As 2020 comes to a close, I looked back at my accomplishments this year. Let me be clear and authentic here: my 2020Vision Board looked a lot different from real life.

  1. I moved to a new city into a two-month, stay-at-home quarantine. I’m not good at staying inside, yet I made the best of it by watching movies with my Tara, cooking new recipes, improving my online shopping skills, and learning how to conduct Zoom calls
  2. My Camino 2020 trip and 35th Anniversary cruise were both canceled so I learned to let go of control, resentment, and disappointment. I now view these trips as postponed and will reschedule when it’s safe
  3. I drove to St. Louis and Little Rock to attend three weddings. All were safe, beautiful, and oh-so-FUN.
  4. Enjoyed socially responsible reunions with friends
  5. Emily came for a visit
  6. Completed two virtual fitness challenges: 130 miles and 280 miles (running + biking) and the Susan G. Komen LIVE More than Pink run
  7. Hosted our moms for Thanksgiving at a beautiful restaurant
  8. Declared Tuesdays as Mom Day (taking my mom out for lunch weekly)
  9. Updated my Vision Board to include patience, specific trips, and prosperity in every aspect of my life

Cheers to new friends, old friends, and becoming friends.

Whatever I experienced in 2020, I will carry on in a positive way to 2021 and beyond.

Thank you, dear readers. I appreciate you!!

Aloha🌺 and Hau’oli Makahiki Hou🎉!!!
