A seriously SUCKY resolutions list
|
Hey Reader! When I was in my 20s, I wrote a resolutions list that, no joke, included the following.
First, oh, my love. ❤️ I'm sending this past Kara so much grace because it was a seriously hard time in my life - I was living with my parents after traveling the world for a year and re-entry was ROUGH. Secondly, OMG. What was I thinking?!?!! Wanna know how many of them I accomplished? Big surprise, but not a one. It was perhaps a bit ambitious? Also, the list seriously sucks. Like who wants to have to do all the worst things at once - curb your spending, lose weight, date, meet new friends, job hunt. It's like I asked the Universe to deliver a recipe for heartbreak and disappointment and then gifted it to myself. You'll be happy to know, I did eventually complete the list, but it took until, like, yesterday. Which is to say, most of us are TERRIBLE at making resolutions. We choose what we think we're supposed to want, we make them too big, we create these monster lists that set us up for failure and then beat ourselves up for it. Not on my watch. For the past 12 years, I have completed my resolution EVERY SINGLE YEAR. That's right. Give this gal a gold star and, why yes, a crown because I am the Resolution Queen. And I want to teach it all to you! Join me for a free, 45 minute class: 🎉 How to Make Resolutions You'll Actually Keep

Hi Reader! For the past six months, I've been obsessed with figuring out how to do Substack. I've talked about it ad nauseam in my mastermind, I've voice texted my business besties about it every day, I've pondered it for hours while driving car pool and half listening to debates about Sabrina Carpenter's new album. Imagine a 10 year old boy, who just discovered Rocket League and NEEDS to discuss his sweet pinch-wave dash maneuver, in depth, all day, non-stop. Um, that was me. 😬 I just...
Happy New Year Reader! Last week I ended my email to you with a PS that I wouldn't be sending more emails because I was lying on the couch, reading books and eating Christmas cookies. THAT WAS A LIE. I didn't mean for it to be. I had every intention of parking my rear under our new, faux Minky blanket and tearing through my new Louise Penney. But, then I started thinking about the returns I needed to make, and the fact I hadn't checked my email in a week, and that we had visitors coming and I...
Hey Reader! I've bought a lot of great things this year (this pair of jeans, this line of make up, this vacuum), but, hands down, the best money I spent was on our Brick. If this is new to you, a Brick is a small, square technological wonder you can mount on your fridge (or hide in a drawer) to block apps on your phone. I am not exaggerating when I say my social media scrolling is down to almost zero. NADA. ZILCH. NOTHING. And, I've tried a lot of different apps, but there was always an easy...
