You guys! It’s 2015! Can you believe it? We are now just as close to 2030 as we are 2000, how crazy is that? (I’m talking year wise, not day-minute-hour. So if you’re wanting to go all Sheldon on me, go ahead but I’m thinking broadly here, ok?)

On Monday I asked if you do resolutions or not. I heard from a few people and the verdict was decidedly mixed. Some people are all about the resolutions. Some people only like choosing one word. And some of you don’t do anything at all.

I’ve been mulling it over for quite awhile, and I’ve come up with a plan for 2015. My overall goal for the year is to create a well-designed life. What do I mean by that? I mean that I want to make decisions that will lead me to a goal. I want to spend my time more carefully. I want to eliminate some of the clutter that is overtaking my life. I want to discover my style, my passion, my joie de vivre. I want to end 2015 in a different place that I started, and I want to be mindful of that goal all year long.

So with the idea of creating well-designed life, I've actually set five separate goals for the year. I won't be sharing the exact goals here, but they cover various aspects of life. Career, financial, health, family, that kind of thing. I've got some big plans, and I want to make sure 2015 is the year I see them come to fruition! Or at least make progress towards them.

However, I am allowing myself to make one resolution...and I'll tell you all about it tomorrow!

Hello again, dear friends. I hope you had a fantastic holiday! I can't believe Christmas has already come and gone, but I really can't believe 2015 is almost here. Where has the year gone? I couldn't tell you. But I do know that I'm excited for 2015! I've got a lot to do before it arrives. Put away all the wonderful gifts I got over the past few days for starters. I had some major "you know you're a grownup when..." moments this year though. Between the fire proof safe, the KitchenAid stand mixer, towels, mugs, cookbooks, and fancy new hangers I was a very happy adult. I'll be putting all of those to good use in the new year!

I also have some more planning to do. I'm super excited about finally getting to use my new Day Designer. This is my second year using a Day Designer and I love it! This year's is so pretty :)

And I'm trying to decide if I want to set any new year's resolutions this year. Some years I do, but if I'm honest, the resolutions rarely make it through the year. I've chosen one word to live by the past few years, and that's worked better. I have a couple of days left to decide what I'm going to do. Any suggestions? What do you do, resolutions or a single word? Or nothing at all?

2015: Let's Do This!

Resolutions or Not?
