So I’m going to do a retrospective in regards to 2019 and talk about what’s coming for me in 2020.

In 2018 I did my happiness journey and when I didn’t continue doing my post and focus on the positive I found my happiness declining. There are a few shows I started watching last year that helped me put things back into perspective. Now let’s be clear it was not the only thing that helps me put things back in perspective but it definitely helped. One show was Tidying up with Marie Kondo and another was Queer Eye (the 2018 Reboot on Netflix), the Final was The Great British Baking Show (So Wholesome!). I have gone through a bit of a physical transformation the past couple of years and thanks to my husband I have also gone through a mental transformation.

For so many years I never really thought of myself as pretty or beautiful, but my husband has shown me how wrong I really was. Not only do I no longer see myself as not pretty but I could also care less what others may think of me. My negative thoughts have taken a backseat where they belong.

With all that said I started learning even more from the above-mentioned shows. With Marie Kondo I learned that I do not need to cling to stuff, from those at the baking show I learned a new found love to learn to bake and from the Fab 5 I learned to be true to myself and to never feel ashamed of who I am. My biggest supporter of course whenever I want to try something new or get back to who I really am has always been my husband who has always thought me beautiful and has always believed in me.

When I pitched to him my idea of continuing my happiness journey through a blog, of course, he was fully on board and helped me to create my own site. I feel like I’m almost fully back on track from where I was in 2018. This is my space, to speak my mind, to be myself and to share the things that I have learned with all of you.

So here are my New Year Resolutions for 2020, of course eating better and staying in shape goes without saying but I’m going to take it up a notch.

• My husband is my rock and I want to show him how much I appreciate him for all the support and love he shows me. I want to spend more time with him and also support him in the things he is passionate about.
• I’m going to learn to love myself more and take joy in the things that make me happy and make those more of a priority in my life. Even though I thought that I no longer struggled with having to feel accepted by others I feel like this is still an issue with me.
• With getting back to the things that bring me joy I’m going to get back to crafting more and cut out the activities that no longer really bring me joy. I’m going to learn new ways to craft and focus on creating.
• After watching the Great British baking show I’m inspired to learn to bake for myself and to make yummy things for my family. While still ensuring that we are eating healthy and not indulging too much. (It helps we are getting a new stove)

There is so much to focus on this year but I feel like my husband and I are both on track to accomplish our goals and make each other better people.
