I’m sure all of you are ready to end this year we called 2020. I am too. I’m ready to jump into 2021 and set some goals. But let’s talk about the good that came out of this year.
I came into 2020 hoping to improve my work relationship with my four friends I collectively called the Squad. It started out well and then we all got busy and we didn’t always work together. Our last day working together was right before everything shut down due to the pandemic. We all reconvened at some point in June.
I became active on Instagram and began to follow small businesses and boss babes on the network. I learned more about businesses that were opening up like the Trendy Bunny Studio and Masterspieces. Eventually, I began to visit these stores in person. Thanks to Instagram and Trendy, I also began to grow my blogger network. Plus, I’ve grown my friendships very well this year. I traded up and it’s benefited me very well.
My shining moment came in September when I won the Spirit of Toastmasters award at my Fall Symposium. I earned the award because of passion for visiting other clubs in the District and promoting them in my blog. I shared my award with my work family as well as my church family. I was quite surprised when I was honored with the prize. It even led into the three of us who won the award to take part in a panel discussion at the club officer training.
But let’s get into what this blog is about. My plans for 2021. The whole year isn’t quite set in stone, but the first three months look exciting so far. Let’s talk about it.
January will bring some interesting reading. I have some Christian books as well as some personal finance reading in mind. I will be promoting Division B in the blog as well as the upcoming event at Trendy on January 4. Now that I’m debt free, I’m going to get serious about saving and planning long term for retirement. There’s also that little trip to Disney coming up in September. I’ll have to plan for that too. Club contests start up in January and I’ll be participating in those too.
February is when we celebrate Valentine’s Day. Area Contests will be starting up as well. Hopefully, it won’t be as crazy come March like last year. I’d like to plan a shopping trip to Tanger Outlets around the end of the month to usher in Spring. I want to treat myself while at the same time planning for the future.
2021 will be a milestone year and it will be a magical one as well. It will also be a year of self care.
