A couple weeks ago, I posted an update about 2015.  For those of you who maybe new here, every year, I spend some time in January coming up with my yearly goals and evaluate them throughout the year.  It’s a personal exercise not only to see what you achieved (sometimes it can be hard to see the big picture each day) but also to hold yourself accountable.

Last year I focused on 30 items for my 30th year.  Life threw a few challenges my way that made me have to re-evaluate things.  But my major goals are still there: To focus on being the best mother and wife that I can be; to achieve my goals both professionally and personally; to be a published author and to make beautiful things. In 2016, I hope to be able to get closer to these big dreams.

1. To run a 10k by December 2016 – whether it’s an actual race or just on my own
