New Year, New Goals, Same Gabrielle

Yikes! Can you believe that it is 2016 already?! I swear It was just 1999  a couple of years ago. HA!

This year I am setting some bigger year long goals that I would like to accomplish.

1. Last year  I read 38 books;  I hope to find some really good and interesting reads.
2, This is the paralegal core competency exam and I have been trying to take this for the past year and half. This is the year I will take and PASS this exam
3. I haven't taken a vacation in 5 years. I think its time for one. 
4. My family and I do this all year- I want to continue this tradition
5. If I really stick with my saving goals, I will be able to save a lot of money. Also no spend January will really be helpful 
6. I did this project a few years ago. I started it again in September and I forgot how much I've loved this. I am excited to see what I photograph this year!

These are some big goals (especially number 5) but I think If I stay focused and look at these goals daily, I can complete them all. For me to stay on track, I am going to print both this goal and my monthly goals out and frame them; I will place them where I will see them each day- my desk.

What are your goals for 2016?

Goodbye 2015, Hello 2016

 Sparkle and shine

 As we countdown until midnight and  we grab our glasses of champagne; we pull our significant other closer, the excitement grows for 2016;  we make our peace with 2015, remembering the memories, the loved ones we lost, the families we grew with and the friends we shared new adventures with. 2016 reminds us that at midnight,each and every person gets a fresh start for a new year- new opportunities, new adventures, new challenges and new places. So as midnight draws near, make sure your resolutions are set and get ready to close the book on 2015. 2016 is filled with unlimited possibilities... Are you excited? I know I am!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
