Happy New Year!

Here we are, another year. Last time I wrote here on the first of the year, it motivated me to write more. So, I’m going to try it again.

I love the idea of a new beginning, a fresh start. And I think the first of the year is a perfect time. Even though I’ve never been a person big on specific new year’s resolutions, there’s something about the new year that makes me want to reset and do better.

I took the below picture today. It’s not a great shot, but it was the only one I got of the sun coming in this morning. I love how the sun streams into the house during the winter months, and I especially like it in the early hours. It’s as if the sun is greeting me and sending positive vibes.

Today, being the first of the year, was a perfect day for it! I’m going to take that as a sign and put positivity in motion for the upcoming year. I’m not sure how this will all play out, but I’m willing to try.

That all being said, let’s get this party started!

Cheers to a new year, new beginnings, positivity, fresh starts, and good vibes.

I Love December

I love December.

For me, I think it’s a combination of the weather and the festive holiday mood across the world. It’s also a good time to genuinely and deeply reflect on the past year and all there is to be grateful.

So, I made this small list of festive and productive to-dos to keep myself in the presence of December.

For fun, and to get back into sharing in this space because the world needs some cheer, I’m going to try and document my progress with this list. Think I can do it? To be honest, I’m not sure myself but I’m willing to try.

Hope you all have a beautiful December!

Happy New Year

January 1, 2021

It’s another January 1st. But this one feels different to me than any other January 1st. Perhaps, it’s because of a global pandemic that swept us off our feet, and not in a good way, in 2020. Whatever the reason, I’m going to relish in the thought of a brighter future for us all and this is a great start.

This morning, just as the sun hit my bed, I began to read The New York Times’s The Morning Newsletter. I’ve come to appreciate and love The New York Times during these most unprecedented events in our country and world. Today’s newsletter was a Happy New Year greeting along with tips on how to keep resolutions. A few of the suggestions that really clicked for me on how to keep a resolution and make it a habit was “stacking” or “piggybacking” a new habit onto an existing habit or ritual. Lightbulb!

This read led me into a 7-Day Well Challenge, starting this Monday, to show how to build on healthy habits I made during the pandemic. I’m going to give it a shot. Today’s challenge was to make gestures of gratitude — like giving larger tips for delivery workers or appreciative texts to friends — a regular part of your day. So today, I texted an old friend, who has been a really good friend and I love her for it.

If you would like to join the challenge you can sign up for the Well newsletter to receive the next challenge in your inbox.

Happy New Year!

I love the holidays. The happiness. The cheer. The weather.

I have myself wrapped up in a bunch of projects and I’m having a blast! Hoping I can write a blog showing all my completed projects. Here’s what I’ve been getting myself into…

The ribbon on my tree is done, I’m waiting for the glue on my branches to dry and I’m off to start the dough for the challah bread!

Happy Holidays!
