I hope your 2020 is off to a great start! I think it’s safe to say that mine is. After taking all of December off, I was able to get some much needed down time and had a chance to re-energize which allowed me to kick of 2020 with a bang!

I’m not one who’s big on “fresh starts” but I am a firm believer in rest and taking breaks. We all need some time to disconnect in order to rejuvenate, don’t we?

In this world of go, go, go and do, do, do, it’s so easy to get caught up in this idea that we have to be making constant progress, that success is what we all need to achieve. I have been guilty of this myself. But I keep being reminded that sitting still is progress too.

When’s the last time you sat still and just allowed yourself to be? Be quiet. Be content. Just be?

I have HUGE goals. Goals that are so big (like wanting to have as much influence as Oprah) that I can get caught up in non-stop to-do lists, making plans, and other overwhelming activities, that I forget that what’s most important is what’s happening RIGHT NOW.

Trying to find that balance seems impossible sometimes, but I’m determined to make it happen. Which brings me to my word for 2020!
