Happy Monday, everyone!
Can you even believe that New Year's Eve is here? With 2018 coming to a close, I want to share with you all a few of my resolutions for the New Year. New Year resolutions can be tricky. Striving for a goal that you know you will never achieve can ultimately make you feel down about yourself, but it is also important to reach for obtainable goals that challenge you to be a better person and put you on the right path for fulfilling your passions and dreams. It's difficult to find that perfect middle ground, and if you don't achieve your goals I am here to tell you that it is OKAY. Working hard to better yourself will ultimately pay off, whether that happens in 2019 or 2020. I find that reading other people's resolutions and ambitions inspire me to achieve my own, and I hope that this post will do the same for you.

1. Volunteer
I have recently felt called to volunteer at a children's hospital, and once the wedding is over (only 4 more days!!!) and the New Year begins I want to make it happen. I find that life can feel meaningless when you are not actively helping and serving other people, and I think a children's hospital would be the perfect place for me to serve. There is nothing like making a child smile. :)

2. Create Inspiring Content
My main focus for 2018 was to plan our wedding, which ultimately forced me to put some of my blogging time aside for wedding commitments. However it was certainly worth it! You only get married once, after all! I am the sort of person that is energized by creativity and creating content that is both beautiful and exciting, so I am looking forward to putting my all into blogging this year.

3. Healthy Lifestyle
I eat healthy for the most part, and work out on occasion, but I have not fully committed myself to living a healthy lifestyle - especially when it comes to working out! My goal this year is to find a routine that my body loves and that I actually enjoy and look forward to.

4. Being a Wife
Last, but not least, my last resolution is to be a wife. I realize this isn't so much a goal as it is a reality, but 2019 will be my first year being a wife to Jay, and I just can't wait to make it happen! Being married and moving in with someone brings about new challenges, but in a good way. The pastor who is officiating our wedding gave us great advice that applies to both newlyweds and couples that have been married for years. He told us that if we are both focused on serving each other that there isn't much room for argument. If you think about it, it is so true! If both people in a relationship are selflessly serving each other and trying to do things for the other person, what is there left to argue about? So my goal this year is to serve my husband. Not in a sexist, domestic, 18th century whatever-you-want-to-call-it way, but to make him happy, care for him and selflessly help him. I know in my heart he will serve me too, because he already does.
I hope you all enjoyed this post and are feeling inspired to create some resolutions of your own. Have fun tonight, create some memories and have an amazing New Year!
