Monthly Check-In: Goodbye December, Hello January: Each month, I share three things I accomplished in the previous month and preview three things I’m excited about for the upcoming month. Here’s my latest monthly check-in.
Goals
- Get back in the swing of things after an amazing week of vacation. So many emails to catch up on! So many blogs to read! So many guest posts to write. I want to slowly ease myself back in and get to work.
- Start my 3-month hot yoga membership. I can’t wait to start doing yoga more regularly and purchasing this 3-month unlimited class card will definitely help my practice.
