Why I have Intentions not Resolutions

Simply put, an intention is a guiding principle for how you want to be .

2019 was a great year. I am grateful for the ups, the downs the wins and the losses. As I reflect on some personal things that I went through as a partner, friend, wife, mother the common thread is how grateful I am to have all these experiences. Every year I write down goals, intentions or resolutions for the upcoming year and I often refer back to them. This practice allows me to stay on a healthy continuum.
