Living.

October 21, 2014

I knew Christmas was only 60-something days away, but I didn’t think of that as 2014 almost being over (71 days, you guys!) until I read Maxie’s post! I love this quote from Maxie: “Because, any day we’re not going towards who we are meant to be, we’re going away from it.”

In 2014, I started the year with this little piece of inspiration. I was so excited to design my own save the dates for our August wedding. I tried to be more like Martha. I went back to the finish line with my sister for one of the coolest projects. I spent less than 24 hours in NYC for my little sister’s engagement (worth it!). I started a new job and commute into the city like a grown up. I took part in One Run for Boston, one of the coolest things I have ever done in my lifetime. (Seriously. If you have never run across a shut-down bridge in a major part of Boston with a police escort and hundreds of your closest friends for something that astronomically impacted your life, you can’t even begin to comprehend the feelings of that day. #allthefeelings) I visited Turks and Caicos. I celebrated. And celebrated. And started a business! And then I got married and went to Disney World. And all of Sprout’s training was worth it, because he passed his therapy dog test!

So let’s talk about the rest of 2014, shall we?

I already shared with you what I want to accomplish in the next year, but for the rest of 2014, I have big hopes. I’m not going to share them all, so you’ll just have to follow along and see what happens next! But I can promise that my goal these days is to just live.

Do you have any big goals for the rest of this year? I want to hear them!
