1: Reflecting in 2019

I am grateful for the past two years of my life. I realize how lucky I’ve been to marry Jordan, buy our dream home, have a beautiful and healthy baby girl, find passion in financial planning and leadership, travel, and celebrate the entire journey alongside the best family and friends.  I also recognize how challenging it will be to top it all in 2019.  Nevertheless, I’m feeling optimistic that we can keep the good times rolling this year.

The way I see it, the only thing better than having a wedding is enjoying the marriage that comes with it. The only thing better than buying our dream home is the life that we get to live inside of it.  The only thing better than having a baby is raising a daughter.  I’m privileged to have these opportunities in 2019. I’m aware that my luck can turn at any moment, but I can’t let that mitigate my excitement for what’s to come. 

So why am I writing this?  

I’m writing this as part of a weekly reflection series in 2019 with the intention to capture memories, share lessons, practice writing, and deepen connections.  I see it as a channel for fulfilling my personal mission to inspire, connect, and entertain the people in my life. 

These reflections will generally focus on life lessons and leadership, and will be inspired weekly by current events, books, podcasts, and unique experiences. The link to this site will be shared via my social media accounts. My hope is that the reflections are as useful and enjoyable for you as they are for me. This post will hopefully be the first of 50.

 Thank you for reading and feel free to reach out with your thoughts. Have a great week and a happy New Year!
