Thank goodness we are done with the holidays! Am I the only one who feels this way? I am glad to be moving forward to hopefully better times. This January (and maybe the whole year if I can), I am trying a daily challenge.
Did you know January was named for the Roman god Janus, the protector of gates and doorways that symbolize beginnings and endings? In the spirit of new beginnings, I decided to list 31 things I would like to accomplish in January to set myself up for success.
I have curated a list of things, none of which should take longer than an hour, and many are less than 30 minutes. These are not in any particular order, just a brain dump of my new beginnings to kick this year off.
