New Year... Lots of New Goals!

Well I think its safe to say Christmas was pretty darn fantastic. Add to that my first day of the new year was spent with my brothers and sisters dining at Olive Garden. It was the first time we'd all been together in the same spot in 9 years! I took so many pictures and have such great memories.

Now with a New Year ahead of me, I've really had to think a lot and pray about what I'd like that New Year to be like. I thought about my family, my personal goals, business, and my home. And I started.

1. I'm overweight right now. Seems I don't spend enough time on me and more on everything else, so I joined weight watchers and in 2010 I'm learning to eat right and take time out to exercise. I also hope to shed some weight and be healthier.

2. My house has been chaotic since we moved in over a year ago. We moved in 2 weeks before my youngest was born and it seems we haven't gotten caught up. This year is going to be about organizing and cleaning out and cleaning up. So far we've worked on our laundry room and installed a new closet system for me and rearranged so that it's more open and we are knocking out all of the laundry. Next we are going to completely redo my office to make it more efficient for my use and able to hold more than what I've got...

3. Even though the holidays are over, business is still booming. The great companies I am an Ind. Consultant for have pulled out all the stops for January. Double hostess bonuses, 40% off sales, and new products. That means I've had customers contacting me to order! My goal is to do more parties though this year. I hope to hold at least 1 Tupperware Party and 1 Scentsy Party a month. I really hope for more of the Scentsy parties... ok.. the basket parties :). I'm also going to map out several craft shows to participate in to get my name out there and get some hair bow business going.

4. I'm going to spend extra time with my kids doing fun, educational things. Whether its a museum visit, trip to a small town to see a Civil War reinactment, it doesn't matter. But we are going to get out of this house and do stuff.

I think Organization for 2010 is my key theme. Organization of home, time, and business. If I'm better organized I'll be able to help out more and do more things for our church, family, and community. I'm not calling it New Year Resolutions, I'm calling it my New Life Goals that just happen to begin at the onset of a New Year.

Have a blessed day!
