SH Note #47 : Travel Ban, (Not) Setting 2020 Goals, And Living Unapologetically

2020 build slowly go with the flow goals newsletter philly shnote suburbs usa Jan 04, 2020
Hey there you beautiful soul!

Wishing you the happiest, most magical start to 2020!!!

I really have missed this newsletter crew! It has been six weeks since we last touched base - somehow it never ceases to amaze me how fucking fast time flies by.

I've been on a self-imposed house arrest - focused 100% on building my business.

It was productive AF, but not as I expected. I got basically nothing done that I planned to do... but everything done that I needed to :) LOL It always works out that way... I'm finally giving in and learning how to go with the flow.

:: 1000th reminder to self to take it ONE. STEP. AT. A. TIME. and build slowly, but surely and sustainably! ::

My goal was to come back to you with a fully revamped website, blog, newsletter, branding, etc... but I quickly realized I had to prioritize setting up my fundamental business systems first.

TBH I totally let the end of year hype get to me and felt like I should get shit launched for 2020 - maybe you've been feeling that same pressure - but I'm letting go of all the "shoulds" and doing what works best for my personal timeframe, and it feels so much better already.

It's 2020 - now is the time more than ever before to build and live out our best lives unapologetically!
 


EXPLORING THE WORLD
  • I'm still living at home in the Philly suburbs (USA)! My self-imposed travel ban (AKA house arrest as coined by my sister) continues. I love exploring and have no intention of stopping permanently - but I need a continuous, stable period of time to go all-in on my business... so I'm taking it!
  • In the past decade, I've explored plenty of people's backyards across 40+ countries and seven continents... now it's time to explore my own backyard! I haven't lived at home for this long since I was 17 years old (2004) so I plan to soak in all of the American history, get out into nature, and enjoy family time. 
    • “If I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, I won’t look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn’t there, I never really lost it to begin with! Is that right?” — Dorothy, The Wizard of Oz
