Dear Future Self…
As I sit here typing, it’s January 1, 2025. And I thought I’d write to my future self to tell her, well to recap so she doesn’t forget, what happened in 2024. And to set intentions for the new year, 2025.
2024 was a bumpy year, friend-wise. But we’ll just leave it at that. It was also a bumpy year for assistants. I rolled through 3 assistants in 1 year and start a new one in less than a week. Oyyy – the younger generation has a problem with hard work – and that’s disturbing for our futures.
I accomplished a lot in 2024 for Sugar Creek. Made over 6 figures. Participated in some pretty epic events (welcome party for a Pentatonix wedding, MLB Draft, a welcome party that I had to sign an NDA for, Texas Realtor’s Association hiring me again and everything in between). I designed some pretty epic tablescapes in the down-time because I quickly learned that by doing more corporate work (and signing NDA’s), I don’t get as many event galleries to showcase event stories. So I got to creating which felt so good.
My hubs and I traveled to Colorado in both June & August. It’s one of our happy places. And we went to Disney World in December (my hubs first time).
We also found our dream land and closed on it in August 2024. We immediately hired a land clearing company and got to work. This property checks off all the boxes for us…long enough for our own grass landing strip, secluded enough for our house, lots of space for a big pond & gardens. And we finalized our house plans…we’re building a barndominium hangar house.
We have big dreams for this land. We want to be stewards of this land. This time next year, I hope I’m sitting on my couch in my living room, typing up another blog post like this one, but in my forever home, instead of my rent house (that we’ve lived in since 2012).
2025…I can see so much coming down the pipe line and I’m beyond excited. Designing & building our home. Designing & building out my gardens. Sugar Creek events.
And I have big goals for myself that are going to encourage even better health for myself, than where I am right now. Which is part 2 to this blog post. Setting my intentions for the new year.
GOAL 1: Perform 10 perfect pushups in a row.
GOAL 2: Perform 10 unassisted pull-ups in a row.
GOAL 3: Monetize my YouTube channel, The House of Sugar Creek.
GOAL 4: Read 75 books.
GOAL 5: Seek joy daily & celebrate small wins.
All three of these goals, will support all of the other things I have planned in 2025. I cannot wait to see what unfolds over the next 12 months. Cheers to an amazing year, friend!! Now it’s time to start washing all of my collards that I harvested last night & get my black eyed peas cooking!!
