Snowstorm of 2016..we will rebuild!

  Haha sorry I couldn't help myself. :p It is funny to me that in a place like Oregon that we are not better equipped for these icy conditions. That is all I am going to say about the GIANT snow/ice storm of 2016. Lol This morning before work (since I was the only one to show up) I was reflecting on my goals/resolutions for 2016. I have to admit to you that I am one of those organized mess kind of people. With that being said I am also one of those people who make goals and/or resolutions and don't normally keep them. Not because I don't want to but more or less because I get distracted with another passion/project. I mentioned in my very first post here though that this year they are more than just goals/resolutions. They are changing habits so that I can grow into who I want to be for my son and I, they are my life aspirations. Here are a few but no judging okay?! 
Whitney's 2016 Aspirations: 

1. Find my faith again; attending a church I enjoy, opening up my bible more, pray with a purpose. 

2. Get lost in reading; read at least one book a month, read with Connor, maybe start a Facebook book club. 

3. Enjoy more girl time; attend/host paint nights, get back into my MK business, plan a girls weekend trip, attend more happy hours. 

4. Express my artistic side; get lost in color/drawing, attend more paint classes, finish Connor's baby scrapbook (be less of a perfectionist). 

5. Keep working towards my recovery; attend NAMI once or twice a month, work on my workbooks, open up and use my toolbox/binder. 

6. Love myself; Start a consistent workout, portion/eat better, take pride in my appearance. 

7. Money; Buy a new reliable car, take Connor to Disneyland. 



Whitney's Long-term Aspirations: 

1. Live a fulfilling life I can look in the mirror and be proud of; have meaningful relationships, be honest and open, love the Lord. 

2. Work on credit; pay off debts/collections, budget and pay bills on time. 

3. Buy a home for Connor and I by the time I am 30. 

4. Travel to Europe with my best friend. 

5. Attend/complete schooling for ICD-10 coding. 

6. Get to a healthy size 10/12. 

7. One day find love again in the midst of life. 

Okay I know not all of them may come true but I know that having them written down and being held accountable is the first steps to changing my life as we know it. Baby steps to my lifetime goals because I want to make them habits. What are your goals, dreams, aspirations? No, not resolutions that you'll break by March but truest of heart desires for yourself. Can I help you to achieve them? Can we help each other achieve them? I hope so. So here is to 2016 and building new habits and achieving life aspirations!
