Hello, all. With the new year comes new goals and perspectives. I have taken a bit of a hiatus from blogging. Since actively writing, my husband and I moved one state over and had been a bit consumed with it, after all, it was almost a year long process. My lofty goal was to revamp this website and make it easier to navigate, but I haven’t mustered the courage to do so, for fear of starting all over. I have also been contemplating where this blog is going and, honestly, it hasn’t done much in the way of viewership (but I’m thankful to the handful of you that have subscribed). I am not disheartened by this because, honestly, it was something I did during a particularly rough time in my life, and it was therapeutic. I have been vacillating on the decision to keep paying for the domain or let it go. I still haven’t decided, nor have I decided if I want to completely change my content. For now, I am working on another post that I hope to publish this weekend during the winter-polar-vortex-storm.

I am still the Encouraged Woman who believe we can all use encouragement and that will never change even if my content does. With the new year, I have many goals I hope to accomplish. They are not earth shattering or newsworthy goals; just simple adjustments to make me a better human and share life with others. If you are so inclined, feel free to share some of your goals. I will share just a few of mine:

Be more present, be intentional about sending cards, try one new recipe per month, learn one new skill or new word every month, get back on track with my workout. I have others, but you get the idea. Please feel free to share yours. Peace.
