Even though I’d known for quite some time that January 1st was fast approaching ;) I didn’t write down any blog goals for 2017 … until this morning … oh my goodness … ya gotta laugh sometimes.
But first, a big hello, and a Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a lovely New Year’s Eve and are now ready to face the new year head on!
I myself am getting a wee bit excited.
It literally took me all day to get this photo, which in turn, led to this blog post (late in the evening I might add.)
The text for this image is really and truly printed on paper … not added in Photoshop. I plan to share a bit about my process this week.
Of course I wasn’t actually physically working on this photo for 12 hours, but all day my mind was spinning with ideas, and plans, and goals, and … well, you get the picture!
I’m quite thrilled because for the last 10 days I’ve been in a funk due to a cold/flu that left me exhausted and drained. I was sleeping 8-10 hours and feeling a tad sorry for myself (and my lost mojo.) Even so, I was constantly working in the background; taking photos, scribbling notes, writing draft posts, and fluffing up my blog … I just wasn’t feeling too thrilled with any of it.
I’ve also been taking a few classes and doing a lot of thinking which led me to come up with this tiny but powerful list:
Blog Goals for 2017
- Take risks.
- Be brave.
- Take classes. Learn. Work Hard. Grow.
- Share.
I have a much longer list scribbled on a scrap of paper, but some things you really need to keep to yourself, if for no other reason than to avoid disappointing anyone (self included.)
I will tell you that:
- I won’t be posting Sunday Sundries on the blog anymore, however it will continue on Instagram with the hashtag #sunday_sundries. I also have a new hashtag #stilllifeisreallife, and I’ll be combining both tags for the features.
- I’m working on a new series to post here on Sundays.
- This Wednesday I’ll be doing a review of my new tripod (squee!)
- I plan to get Blogging Bits and Bytes back on track.
- And I’m not going to get ahead of myself with any more promises tonight ;)
So there you have it! 7 powerful blog goals for 2017 and a few easy promises!
Sounds great Barb! I always love seeing your work and reading your blogs. They are very informative and helpful! Thanks and happy new year!!
Thank you Jean! and all the best to you in 2017!
You put me to shame Barb! I was not sick and still did not get a post in for the last 3 weeks. I’ll have to work on some excuses … No, no, no. I will work on my next post. Nothing better than shaming me to action!!
Hi Ginny! well, you made me giggle a little … I wasn’t trying to put you to shame … I think I was trying to inspire you :) and myself!
Please know that you have definitely inspred me ;-)
