Things are moving slowwwwwwly for me this January. With all the weather and the kids home so much I’ve had to cancel a lot of plans like books & banter and coffee crew. I’ve enjoyed having my kids home so much though, so it’s a good trade-off.
I am really trying to embrace the cyclic nature of the seasons. During the summer we fill our calendars with local activities, play dates, and travel; the fall for getting back into the swing of our school schedule; the spring is for getting back out into nature and sometimes sports, and winter is for rest. I don’t like the cold and I’m much more at ease when I can hibernate a bit. So instead of shaming myself, I’m trying to lean in without feeling like I’ve lost all momentum.
So yeah, I guess all that to say I don’t really have any major goals right now except to get through this winter in good health and spirits.
I did launch a rather unorthodox project with some of my local Mom friends in November though, so big things are on the horizon. Our first meeting was all about letting go of 2025, and setting intentions for 2026. We had a vision board workshop a few weeks ago to codify our word of the year and make it into a visual reminder to keep us on track for 2026. The next step is to solidify quarterly and create plans to execute them, while working in ways to keep ourselves accountable to one another to maintain motivation.
It’s been an awesome experience so far, but I’m a little behind on my goal setting… and trying to give myself grace for it!
As far as scrapping goes, I always bite off more than I can chew and so I, unsurprisingly, have left several larger projects dangling. But I’m still scrapping more consistently than I have in years, just kind of going where to wind takes me- scrapping on vibes as I like to say… so I’m taking that as a win.
