It’s hard to believe the first week of the new year has already come to an end. I’m not one for New Year’s resolutions, but I do like set realistic goals to work towards throughout the year. It’s taken me a while to realize I’m always happiest when I’m working towards something. I may not know what that something is all the time but I try to appreciate the journey. Those close to me know I’m an advocate of list making, so today I’m sharing a few of my personal and professional goals for 2017:
• Stick to learning French. A couple years ago my fiancé gave me the gift of Rosetta Stone for Christmas. It does make learning a language easy, but like anything it takes time and practice.
• Read more non fiction. I love to read but I usually end up reading smut. This year I’d like to read more non fiction on topics that interest me. Currently I’m reading “Seven Ages of Paris ” by Alistair Horne.
•Connect with other bloggers in my area. I think it’s really important to surround yourself with people who are supportive and equally as passionate about their work. I love learning from others and lending a helping hand when I have the opportunity.
• Explore. If you’ve been somewhere before or you’re going for the first time there’s always something new to experience. For example, I just returned from Los Angeles. I’ve been there a few times, but there were quite a few firsts on this trip ( The LACMA, The La Brea Tar Pits and shopping at The Grove).
• Work on All Glam No Filter. I like to call All Glam No Filter my second job. This year I’d like to post one new blog post a week and 1-2 Instagram photos a day. If there’s anything you’d like to see or you have constructive criticism just let me know.
What are some of your goals for 2017? What keeps you motivated to accomplish them? I’d love for you to share!
