New Year New Me?

Are new year resolutions good or bad?

Ask yourself truthfully and sincerely. Every time I have shared it in the past, do I follow through, or does it somehow fall through the cracks?

For some of us, sharing online is a great way to keep us in check and accountable, for some others, it is not. For me, it works both ways. Like the time I went offline on my personal pages, mid 2025, I needed to not run back when I got bored, so I shared it online, and by God’s Grace, I am still off my personal IG, FB and TT.

I would be back on my business socials to share what I have been up to, get feedback, tweak as we grow, learn and unlearn.

I write this in reference to New Year's Resolutions…

When I was younger, in my early twenties, I didn’t miss an opportunity to write New Year’s Resolutions. I would sometimes hint online at what I wanted to do, or write in a journal or something.

However, as I approached my late twenties, I realised I was doing it for showmanship, and I was not really doing the work.

Like some other areas of my life, for the longest time, I talked about doing, but I was not really doing.

I have reflected a lot with my time off social media, and I am glad for people who truly care, who held my hands and lovingly shared places I was slacking in. The areas and places I needed to improve on.

I am most grateful for the person of the Holy Spirit, who has counselled me, advocated for me, and helped me in more ways than one.

As we start the new year, I think we should sit with ourselves and actually do what has worked and stop what is not working.

If you think having resolutions works for you, do it; if you think sharing online helps you stay accountable, so be it. If you enjoy and love writing vision boards, join me.

To thyself be true.

I hope this new year, more than ever, we stay true to who we are, and whose we are.

Happy New Year, and have a beautiful and blessed start to the new year.
