We did it. We made it to 2020. Not without a few scars, I’m sure, but nonetheless we’re here. And I for one LOVE the New Year.

My husband is notoriously “too cool” for New Years resolutions, so I try to play it cool too. I’m still trying to keep it under wraps that he’s out of my league, so I have adopted the party line that we’re more of a “set intentions” family.

Alas, my loosely veiled resolution-intentions are as follows:

Say “no” quickly and with resolve when my gut knows it’s not the right fit for me (applies to clients, jeans, home appliances, and dry shampoo that’s white.)
Work with the best. It’s only taken me 7 years to figure out that working with a team of people (sub contractors, clients, assistants, etc.) that make your heart light up when you see their name on your phone is smart. Who knew, right?
Simplify with necessity. I realized that my heart longs for simplicity (everywhere- home, work, whatever’s in between) but my head thinks in terms of necessity. I’ve decided to marry the two, mashing them both in either arm like I’m a Disney princess tightly hugging two reluctant woodland side kicks. (Bonus resolution: watch less Disney movies… curse you, Disney +.)

Another intention for 2020, in teeshirt form. Also a favorite gift from a client (and friend), Janie Hett at Peak Motion Physical Therapy.

And alas, I could list on, but I know about myself that I need to keep it short. Honorable mention to exercise more, but as we’re still getting used to adopting our Whole Food, Plant Based diets (which we love), I decided to take it one thing at a time. Keeping my list short also seems like a nod to my third bullet of necessity, so wish me luck!

So, what about you? Are you a “resolution maker”, an “intention setter”, a “guiding word or phrase” finder? What’s your New Years thing?
