I’m looking forward to this upcoming year and using the word #beauty as my guidepost. Last year was my year to #allow. I allowed myself to explore new passions, such as really delving into learning more about Lifestyle Medicine and becoming board certified, expanding my creativity through paper crafting by being a design team member for Creative Escape and teaching a workshop, and running a half marathon after 7 years of a running hiatus. I also #allowed myself many trips year – Whistler to snowboard, My Rose to ski, Girls Getaway in San Francisco and Tucson, monthly mom breakfasts with college/elementary friends, cruise through Greek Islands and Food tour and Vivaldi concert in Venice, Italy, camping and road tripping through California Redwoods at Patrick’s Point State Beach and Crate Late National Park in Oregon. Most importantly, I witnessed myself grow as a wife and mother. It’s only the beginning of this journey of self-awareness and mindfulness and I know having #beauty as my word for 2020 will light the fire to grow even more. Happy New Year and Cheers!
