commitments : february 2017

It's February!! I've really come to enjoy this month. There's more & more light, which makes the bitter cold slightly more tolerable. There's Valetine's Day, which I get to celebrate with my crazy handsome fiance. And…there's a lot of chocolate and wine b/c it's bitterly cold and it's Valentine's Day! Woo hoo! 

I'm going to greet each month this year with commitments around completing, creating, and celebrating. Ready? Let's go! 

Completing 

• A debt management plan that I started a number of years ago. I am really proud that I paid it off more than a year ahead of schedule. 
• Austin's December medical bills. Navigating Canadian medical care with American health insurance was a bit complicated…but I've made it to the other side! 
• An unexpected dental repair. I thought that I had lost a filling, but I had actually lost a chunk of tooth! Happy to have that repaired.

Creating

• My 2016 Project Life album. It has been so emotional (in the best way) to sort through photos of last year. We had such an amazing, full year! 
• Ease in business travel. After a short break, I'm on a plane again tomorrow. I'm being intentional about creating ease around travel this year. 
• A new Young Living Essential Oils business!! Even though I work with essential oils often, I have so much to learn. Excited about this new adventure.
• New communities. I'm thrilled to be connecting with local Bonus Moms. I'm delighted to have people reaching out about essential oils. I'm inspired by Landmark graduates. And I'm having a lot of fun connecting with Mattress by Appointment "Plus Ones."

Celebrating

• McCartney's sixth birthday! Can't believe that our sweet & sassy girl is going to be SIX!
• Extending the lease on #thepalace. We really love our home, and we are so happy to be staying in it for the next few years! 
• Valentine's Day. Cue the mushy hearts & flowers nonsense. It's not lost on me how extraordinary it is that I get to create a life with my best friend, and the love of my life. D&K for the win.
• The richness & fullness of our life right now. We're definitely in a busy season…and I'm reminding myself that these are all possibilities that we've created. 
• The return of Scandal! We may have lost Obama & Michelle, but we still have Fitz & Olivia. Deep sigh.
• Leggings and wool socks. Because: February.
