I usually pick a word for the new year. The word I am picking for 2023 is “organized”. I used to be fanatical about being organized, but spread myself too thin over the years and lost my edge on that along the way. The result is really everything has been negatively impacted.

So back to basics for next year. Specifically focusing on mastery; mastering the basics. Because one of the things holding me back is that I want to do so many things but I rushed passed setting up a better foundation to do so. Because I always felt like I was behind and late to the party due to how my story started. Always playing catch-up.

But God has been on me over and over this past year about needing to be more patient and not worrying. So 2023 is about intentionally taking the time to take whatever steps back that I need to take in order to move forward in a better way.

Shifting from time management to priority management. So I can do what I want to do. Make these dreams really happen.

Feel like the last five years have been a brutal cleansing, but I am finally starting to see myself after washing away all the junk so many put on me for so long. Feel like my mind is becoming clearer and clearer. Feel like I’m so close to fully finding myself and jumping back into who I really am.

I feel empowered and actually excited to step into the new year. For the first time in a long, long time.
