For those who have been following my social media accounts, you know I’ve essentially been MIA for the past year. I was getting into the groove of things — working on my writing career, diving into my YouTube channel, and building up my blog. All of that stopped when my husband and I found out I was pregnant in December of 2022.
While I was so grateful and excited for the new addition to our family, pregnancy came with a lot of aches and pains that I wasn’t quite sure how to deal with. It was all I could do just to roll out of bed in the morning, get to work, walk my dog and then promptly fall asleep as soon as I was done for the day.
After all of the pregnancy symptoms and exhaustion, I had a beautiful baby boy this past summer. It’s been such a whirlwind ever since.
But now I’m back. Totally and completely back.
I’m recommitting myself to my writing, YouTube channel and this blog. I plan on using YouTube and this blog to keep me accountable for reaching my goals in the coming years.
As we approach the new year, I’m laser focused on three major goals surrounding my health, family and writing. In 2024, I want to get my strength back. As I mentioned, my pregnancy really took it out of me. I used to go to workout classes, weight lift, and run. I lost that when I was pregnant (and then recovering from birth). I want to get back into it slowly and steadily. I already aim for 10,000 steps a day just by walking so I am working up to my exercise routine.
I also want to focus on my family life, being present for my loved ones and taking the time to enjoy motherhood. My son is growing quickly and I look forward to getting to know him and spending more time with him.
As for my writing, I want to become a published author (or well on my way to becoming one) by end of 2024. YouTube and this blog will help keep me accountable as I move forward in my career.
I’m really looking forward to getting back into the swing of things.
