A New Year is upon us already. It is 2019. Can you believe it? I remember 2009 like it was yesterday. I played match-maker for a now married couple, (I have match made a few couples in my time) toots to me! Lol.

This year, for some reason, it feels different. Different in a good way though. I feel that this year, things will just fall in to place. I really truly hope that they do. I want nothing more than this year to make sense. To be exactly how it’s meant to be. For myself and my family to be on the right path. A friend of mine said to me today, if you see 1:11 and 11:11, then you are on the right path to your destiny and meaning to life. Well, I can safely say that I have been seeing this now more than ever. Perhaps with it being NY, you are more prone to noticing it all, but I have faith. Faith that 2019 will be my best yet by far. And why is that? Because I’m going to own it. I’m going to think positive thoughts, be a positive person all around and not let negativity or negative takers get me down. I only have time for givers this year. I hope that doesn’t sound too harsh, but life is too short not to demand what you deserve. People talk all about self-love these days and I agree, it’s so very true. You have to love yourself before you can love others. That goes for family, your kids, your hubby/partner and friends.  I know when we had our losses before our two boys, I lost my way, I fell out of love with myself. I thought that my body had failed me, and in a way, it had. But since that devastating time, I have birthed two gorgeous boys, been with my husband for 12 years this year and will have been married for 7. I am doing my very best. Each and every single day. Can I still do more? Of course I can. But at my own pace and in my own time. My mantra for 2019? She believed that she could, and “She Did”. This year I have hope for so many dreams and aspirations. Not just for me, but for our families and our close friends too. I hope that we all get what we wish for. I guess that time will tell. Fingers crossed and toes of course. Wishing you all a beautiful rest of your festive season on holidays and a very happy and prosperous NY ahead.

Have you set some New Year goals for yourself and your family? I’m excited to sit down with my husband this week and work through our goals, both individually, and also as a couple. I hope that we smash them out of the park this year! The year we properly made our goals for the year, seriously was the best year ever. Setting goals and achievable goals, really does hold you accountable for making sure that you set aside time to make them happen. For the years really do travel by so very fast. It’s crazy how fast they roll by. Every year, we get older, and wiser (we hope so anyway ;-), every year, it’s human to have thoughts and wishes. I wish you all the best in making your dreams a reality for 2019! Good luck and I can’t wait to watch you on your journey whilst we connect through my blog.
