2017

My goals for 2017 are pretty much the same as they were for 2016 and subsequent years.  There is a whole list of things that I didn't accomplish last year because I actually forgot that I had written a list of goals until circling back to 2016's post to see what may have changed.  Classic me.

I have hopes for 2017 though.  I want to put my best foot forward and try to educate myself and enlighten myself on various topics and issues.  I want to strive to become the best version of myself that I can be and let go of all the negativity that latched onto me in 2016.  I want to focus on perfecting my chosen crafts/hobbies.

I'm stagnant, spiritually and creatively.  These are both aspects of myself that I need to enhance for my own sanity.  I've given up on the standard, diet, exercise, healthy lifestyle resolutions.  Mainly because I love food too much, and when I'm miserable I eat.  When I'm mad, I eat.  When I'm restless, I eat.  So, if I can fix the core problem, perhaps my habits will change in a normal and conducive manner that will last.

2016 was a shit year.  Mostly because I allowed it to be. Partly because I've had lingering and unresolved issues since childhood that I carry around with me like treasured possessions.  In my inability to let go of things I don't understand, I've given my shadow-self immeasurable control over my life. I'm hoping to begin my sojourn into Shadow Work in 2017, (a task that I had planned since 2015.) and start on the road to finding myself and my purpose.

My self-sabotaging nature will try to deter me from succeeding, but I will do my level best to be a stronger person.  I can't be messing around anymore.  Stuff needs to get done, and I need to woman up and do it.  I need to be on my own team and strive to enhance my little life.

I also want to do more with this blog.  I made it to a year, let's see if I can do 2 years!
