Hey hey. Happy New year! Can you believe we’re in 2020?!!! 2020! Wow!! It’s been a while since we chatted, pray that you had an amazing Thanksgiving, Christmas, yeah, I am going all the way back there! Yes, ma’am yeah.

With the new year comes goal setting for the new year. Goals for 2020! Who’s committing to living healthier this year? Eating healthier, exercising, drinking more water. Changing your eating habits, exercising, and drinking more water translates to healthier living. #goals. Maybe you’ve set some career goals that include applying for promotions,  taking on more responsibility, leading that project. Educational goals,  signing up for your first class, you go girl!! Completing that last course requirement and you’ve completed that degree. I see you!! Some of us are have established some new financial goals like setting and sticking to a budget, increasing savings, taking the steps to become debt-free. Becoming debt-free is about more than just paying off debt, it’s about discovering freedom, flexibility, and control over your life, your finances and your future. What would you could you do with that freedom! Think about it! Let that motivate you. Goals for your business, putting yourself out there. Whatever it is…Listen

Change is in the air!!I love it! New year. New vision. Purpose. Intentionality. Progress.  Let’s get it! We’re committing to.. out with the old that didn’t work. Pledging to the new ways of thinking and new ways of doing.. moving forward. In other words, most of us have geared up for transition or change in 2020. I talk a lot about change and transition. I found a very interesting explanation of the difference between transition and change that I want to share. I did a lot of reading during the break. LOL! Make that a goal. Read something and not talking about something on Facebook. Pick up a book. Any whoo..  Linda Rossetti, author of Women and Transition share an approach that caused me to say uuumm. She suggested that changes are driven to reach a goal, whereas transition starts with letting go of what no longer fits or is adequate to the life stage you are in. Ummm. Say it again..

Changes are driven to reach a goal, whereas transition starts with letting go of what no longer fits or is adequate to the life stage you are in. That explanation of transition and change caused me to look at and better define my goals. There will be actions/behaviors we will have to change in order to reach our goals. There will be things, people, places, and mindsets, that we will have to let go of because they no longer fit where you currently are or where you’re going. I shared at the start of our journey and I’ll say it again now that we’re in a new year. Change and transition are scary, difficult, it’s challenging, it’s uncomfortable. There will be highs and lows. There will be a moment of stress and anxiety and it’s in those moments we must hold on to faith. Hold on my sister, hold on my friend. It’s in those moments where you must have faith where you do yet have the facts.
