Happy New Year!!  I am really looking forward to growing as a person, wife, mother, friend and potter in the new year.  Looking back to 2018, I took some bold steps to change my path-found a new job after 17 years with the same employer resulting in an improved home/work life balance and invested in my own potters wheel and kiln so that I could work at my craft on my own terms and timeline.

I spotted this great list of Intentions not Resolutions for 2019 on the Womens Health IG page today that really resonated with me:

1. Put your health first, but… do not trap yourself.  Its all about balance.
2. Make time for things you love.
3. Money Mindfulness.
4. Find movement everyday.
5. Don’t take life too seriously.

I am going to do my best to try to check in with myself to make sure I am being mindful of this list as a go about my daily life in 2019.   And to add to this list a friend of mind gave my daughter a “Gratitude Journal”  for Christmas.  You keep track daily of what you are grateful for and an awesome thing that happened.  I love this idea!

Well, I have already started making in the new year and I am excited about exploring my creative abilities in the new year.

Thank you all for your love, support, and friendship.  Happy New Year!  Peace, good health and prosperity for all.
