Happy New Year! Are you as excited as I am for 2018? The new year always reminds me of a blank piece of paper – so much potential.

I was reading some tweets last week, and apparently it’s a thing to write a “year in review” post. Since I didn’t realize this until it was too late, I wrote a mini version with my top 3:

• I maxed out my Roth IRA
• I traveled to a foreign country by myself for two weeks
• I quit my job and started a business

I’m in the process of creating my 2018 goals, but I’m scared I’ll fall short. How can this year be better than 2017? 

Honestly, at the beginning of last year, all of my goals seemed impossible, but I set some intentions, took steps to move forward and had faith that things would work out.

Maybe I’ll try that same approach this year. 

Give Your Website Some TLC. A proper, finely-tuned website can be a valuable business tool. In order to get the most out of it, revisit your site regularly. (Yes, YOU. Go look at your site right after you read this!)

Stacy Musgrave Photography. Check out my latest project for Stacy Musgrave, a wedding and portrait photographer in Erie, PA. Stacy has some killer photos and was WONDERFUL to work with. She does destination shoots, too, so if you’re in need of a photographer, look no further.

When I was taking classes at Skillcrush, I had an instructor named Gab White. Gab has an awesome newsletter, The Freelance Friday, that I look forward to each week.

In her newsletter, there’s a section at the bottom that says, “If you read all the way to the end,” which I really like and think I may steal. (Thanks, Gab!)

So, if you read all the way to the end, here’s a gif for you. Happy New Year!

Thanks for reading!
