2023: It's Feelin Like Me Szn.

I've gotta admit that over the past few days weeks my energy has been L O W. There's an Airbnb stay from hell that is haunting me almost 2 months later, feelings of worthlessness, and constantly wondering "when will it happen for me?" So here I am reminiscing on the great moments I had this year instead of feeling sad.

I started 2022 off with a few intentional goals and one was to make memories with friends and family.

- In January I saw a friend who I hadn't seen in almost two and a half years
- In April I helped my friend in Atlanta surprise her husband with a 90's themed birthday party
- In June I went to the DC stop of Celebrenz en Rose with my roomie from college and danced in the rain to Robin Thicke. I also saw my childhood friends baby for the first time since she was born
- In July I took a day trip to Miami to see my friend who was in there
- In August my childhood friend and I finally went on a girls trip after talking about it for a year. The Inn at Stinson Vineyards and Pippen Hill Farms gave us the vibes we were looking for okay!
- In September I went to PVR for my college roomie's birthday
- In November my friend in Atlanta had a surprise gender reveal/ Friendsgiving party and my moms side of the family hosted Thanksgiving where I saw cousins I hadn't seen in a while. Found out two cousins are pregnant (both pregnant with boys) and saw another cousin who brought her bf to meet us. I cried.

I'd say 2022 was pretty productive in making memories and I'm so happy I showed up for people I care about. 

2023 is going to be a little more personal for me. It'll be an extension of my 2022 goal since I wanted to learn more about myself to begin the unlearning process for some habits I have and with that comes being kinder to myself so I can extend that to others. So I'm going to start intentionally being kind to me. :)

 I enjoyed the idea of breaking up my goals by quarter this year as to not overwhelm myself so I'm running it back for 2023. In Q1 I'd like to...

🌱 Launch my brand
💓Say affirmations in the mirror daily 
📚Read 3 books
💪Start using 15lb hand weights
✍Complete a 30 day devotional
😅Do 3 things I've never done before (places to visit or activities)

As for my other 2023 goals, well the major ones anyway, let's just say I'm taking a page out of the book of Be-sigh-yay because I feel like falling in love. This is a scary part of life for me which I'm sure I'll detail later, but putting myself out there is going to be something. I also want to make 23 year old me happy by finally moving.

I am praying this upcoming year is what we all hoped 2020 would be: full of promise. To anyone reading this, may happiness and peace be with you in this coming year. Here's to more growin' in 2023!

Well that's all for now. Byeee!
