Holy hell-o it has been quite awhile since I've paid a visit and done some writing. The hustle & bustle of the holidays took over and apparently blogging took a back seat. After all, this is my life. But I'm back! It's a new year with a fresh start, and more than ever, I'm really excited for the unknown of 20dozen... not entirely sure why, but I'm running with it!
I know many people who believe that having a new year's resolution is cliche and, quite frankly, really fucking pointless. I, on the other hand, give into 1 or a few each year. I can't help it. Call it cliche, but I think it's the perfect way to get excited and work towards, something/s in the new year. Can I confidently say that I've followed through on an entire year's redo? Absolutely not. But going 365 days with a resolution isn't going to win you any cookies. I think it's the journey that one goes through in trying to accomplish their resolution that really matters... a self-fulfilling goal that one hopes to become a better person for, if you will.
My 20dozen resos do not include any of the following: drink less, workout more, get healthier, or stop swearing. You may be thinking those would ideal resos for me, but you're wrong. I'm digging deep in 20dozen. Fuck the surface level bullshit resos that the majority of people go with every year. I'm not looking to set myself up for failure. Been there, done that. I've got 3 resolutions to tackle and exactly 360 days to make it happen.
Numero uno: Pay it forward. The plan is to do this at least once a month. I believe in karma and I'd much rather take the good over the bad, so if I can pay it forward, even in a small way, I would like to think that it's going to continue to benefit myself and others down the road. And I can only hope that me paying it forward encourages others to start doing the same.
Numero dos: Embrace spontaneity. Sounds simple, but as someone that loves to know what the plan is and always prefers to know what's going to happen next, spontaneity and I don't always see eye to eye. My plan, no pun intended, is to go with the flow, not worry about what's next, and see what life throws at me.
Number tres: Take more risks. Based off of my 2nd reso you can probably guess that being a planner and more of a 'by the book' kind of gal I don't go out of my way to take major risks. That doesn't mean I don't want to, I just let the fear takeover and, thus, avoid taking on any risks. Time to conquer some fears, take some risks, and hope for the best.
Big things... big, big things to come in 20dozen!
take it or leave it: the holiday season is now behind us, but this makes me smile... and secretly wish Christmas wasn't over yet. Wish I was there for this!
