Hi friends,
It feels like I was living in a Christmas bubble, and it has been ages since I sat at my desk. I am glad I feel this way because it means I have been present with my family, especially since the Christmas holiday felt longer this year, as it included the weekend.
I used to take the week between Christmas and New Year off to work on my goals in a coffee house. It was a delicious ritual, and I miss it. This time (unlike last year when I had 0 vacation days left) I am saving my annual vacation balance for the summer when my sister visits with her son and newborn baby girl 🥹 and for providing corporate training sessions during the year.
My husband and I are excited to host this year’s New Year’s party. It won’t feel quite the same without my sister’s family and Mum, who traveled to support her with the new baby, but we’re so looking forward to celebrating with dear family members joining us for the first time in a long while.
Thank you, dear Sparkers, for being there, for taking the time to read my weekly letters in 2024, and for replying with words of encouragement.
Stay tuned for an email announcing the All-Year-Goals program later this week!
P.S. Let’s chat if you are considering hiring me to talk to your team about the science of goal setting, building habits, mastering focus to improve performance and time management, or beating burnout. Reply to this email, and we can start from there.
