Happy New Year! Walking into 2020 feeling rested. Smile on my face. Feeling recharged, excited and playful. It feels so good to feel like me.
2019 was a great year. Was it perfect? No, but I was able to do some of the things I set out to accomplish and also be open to life as it happened, see my reflection here and book review here. What I will say is that each year I am learning to be more comfortable and more self-assured (but still insecure at times) in myself. My husband and I are still going strong and learning how to parent children that are entering the teen years and I feel like I have a partner in that. I also feel that I have a partner who has supported and encouraged me as I left a position that I loved to pursue the next step as a vice-principal. The job has put me on a very steep learning curve, and though I love it, it is taking a lot out of me each day (in a positive way) but it requires me to step away from the blog, from reading, from some of my hobbies and to let go of some of the things I generally like to control in my life. This older and slightly wiser (fingers crossed) version of myself now knows this is temporary. You go through periods of time when life is just NOT going to feel balanced, scheduled, and according to the plan you had, but in time it will come back to equilibrium. So I am embracing this season of my life, when I am learning, at times drowning, but knowing that I have the skills, support and perseverance to ride it out until I can find my way back to a new "balance", whatever that might look like in this next phase of my life. I've not sat down to formally write my 2020 intentions but I will in the next few weeks.
Until then I am walking into 2020 with high hopes, a positive attitude and in these KILLER boots. I was eyeing these boots up for some time in the fall and finally made the leap. I was hoping to snag them on sale but couldn't wait long enough and have no regrets, but they are on sale now so check out the link below. They have been a head turner and really a statement of their own every time I wear them. Everything else on me is older from my closet but when paired up with a statement pieces such as this, it just POPS and you have yourself a completely new outfit. I actually love the monochromatic look here, all black, except the boots. Sometimes its best to keep it simple, and I mean that in terms of dressing yourself and in life 😃.
Have a fabulous weekend everyone!
