2016: Wonderful

I'm so excited to be back to blogging. I spent all of 2014 gearing up for Whit & Love and unfortunately so many things kept me away from this space last year. And that's OK. I think it was supposed to be just like this. 


So, what's up with me for 2016? That's something I can answer with confidence: I don't really know. I know what I want to see for myself and things I want to accomplish, but I'm not going to spend this year planning every intricate detail of my life. I've tried that for more than a decade and I always end up disappointed in myself. 

This year, my task is simple. Let go. Yes, I have goals and I'll be working toward those right here with you all, but mostly I just cannot do what I've always done. I can't sit and make sure every calendar day is filled and every hour is consumed with plans. Where is the room for wonder? Where is the space for adventure in doing that?  

I'm super proud of myself for coming to this realization late in 2015 (i.e. December 31). 



And as I'm opening myself up for wonder, I am also making the most of the relationships in my life. If I'm honest with myself, I'm not a good friend. ::total transparency:: In fact, I'm probably a bad friend. I never call people, I typically don't want to hang out much and I just don't make my relationships a huge priority. So, as I open myself up to wonder, I am also opening myself up to the people in my life and allowing them a space in my world. There aren't enough movies on Netflix or books to read that can top good old fashioned good times with the people you love. I'll talk more about intentional relationships later this month. :-) 

I hope this year is wonderful and full of wonder. I hope that all the traveling I've dreamed of will occur and that all the love I've hoped for will find its way to me.  Actually, I am certain that it will. 

I cannot wait to be more present here, as well. 

Stay with me. 


Always in love,
