I was on a call with another spiritual entrepreneur yesterday, and she asked me what I hope to accomplish in 2024. To be honest, I hadn’t given it a lot of thought yet. I usually dig into making new goals in the last week of the year, between Christmas and New Year’s.
For years, I always spent New Year’s Eve listening to A Long December by Counting Crows and journaling about my New Year’s Resolutions. Of course, as a teen, I didn’t know all the statistics about how often New Year’s Resolutions fail, and I was optimistic and full of hope.
These days, I am a bit more realistic with my goals, and realize that setting more than 3 New Year’s Resolutions is setting yourself up for failure. If you want to prep your own New Year’s Resolutions, here are some tips from the blog:
New Year's Resolutions - How to make them into a reality.
It's Almost Time for our Year in Review for 2022
Personally, it’s still a couple weeks early for me to do my year in review and write up my goals, but the call yesterday got me thinking about it. The other coach I was speaking with suggested that I narrow my focus, but before I think about doing that, I want to run it by all of you!
What Type of Articles are the Most Helpful?
When I originally started blogging in 2021 on my website MillenialMom, My main focus was on motherhood, parenting and personal finance. However, when I started writing on Medium in December 2021, I realized that I could write about more topics, and just organize them into lists. Then, in January of this year, I dedicated myself to deepening my spirituality, and in fact I chose Spirituality as my word of the year for 2023.
Someone else described my writing to me as “motherhood lifestyle” since I write about an umbrella of different topics. But when it comes to that, which type of content is the most helpful for all of you?
You guys here on Substack are my most die-hard followers - getting my updates direct to your email - so I am posing this question to you before I start my year in review. This way, I can incorporate your feedback into my writing goals and plans for 2024.
What do you want to hear more about in 2024?
Please submit your answers in the poll (there is a 1-week deadline to submit), and let me know more details in the comments! I love hearing feedback from all of you, after all, this is YOUR newsletter as much as it is mine.
Every day, before I sit down to write, I ask myself two questions:
What is my highest good?
How can I help people the most?
You guys are a big part of answering this second question, and I would love to hear your input on the direction for this newsletter in 2024. How best can I serve you? I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Have a great weekend,
