2k16

I love dreaming about the future. LOVE IT. So, naturally, the new year is one of my most treasured times of year. It’s a season filled with hope for all that is to come. Everyone is ready to put the past year behind them and face the new one head on.

I also love the new year because it means resolutions. I might be part of the lone population that actually loves making resolutions and setting goals for myself. I’m a goal digger. It gets me excited about the future because I know it’s filled with endless possibilities and achievements. Of course I’m much better at coming up with my resolutions than actually keeping them, but ma la’asot (hebrew for “what can you do?”).

So, I thought that I would share with you a list of goals, dreams and activities I would like to accomplish in 2016, in hopes that whoever reads this will hold me accountable throughout the year.

I’ve also decided that I want to focus on one word for 2016: HUSTLE. I want  to work hard to achieve everything I’ve set before myself for the year and to see little pieces of my big dreams come into fruition. I want to look back at this year and say that I hustled with determination through everything that was thrown at me. Hard work pays off and reaps great rewards and  I’m gonna whistle while I hustle through 2016.
