2018 Goals and My One Word

2017 was spent working on "Release" which was my word for the year.  I have to say I embraced it. I released bad feelings, I released so much crap from my house, I released expectations, I released negativity. In releasing, I gained a lot. I gained new perspective. I gained space. I gained understanding. 

This year, I'm choosing the word, "Finish". This will be my year to finish projects, finish goals, just finish. 


In that vein, I'm focusing on 18 goals, some small, others big and some are repeats (but I'm getting them done this year in the spirit of FINISHING).
