hopes and dreams.

December 31, 2010 by Hillary 12 Comments

You’ve heard me say several times before how I just love the first day of a new month. I love the idea of a fresh start, allowing us to forgive ourselves and others for mistakes and welcome change and possibilities. So, tomorrow is quite a big deal then. Not only is it the start of a new month, a new year… but I will wake up and walk into a new decade!

Twenty Ten was a good year indeed. I had several set goals – 10 in fact – and the majority of them did not get crossed off my list. I am the definition of Type A. I live by plans and schedules. I am a control freak, and I lack spontaneity. Instead of making a bunch of New Year’s resolutions, I want to let 2011 “resolve” me. I’m handing over the control to Life, and am quite excited to see what positive changes and adventures it has for me.

That said, I have a few dreams that I hope will come true this year. We shall see…

  • Erase the word “perfect” from my mental dictionary.

… this would help me in ways you couldn’t even imagine.

  • Say good-bye to my sugar addiction.

Note: Many of you seem to share a similar sticky sweet tooth and seem interested in how I plan to go about kicking my habit. I will share my thoughts and plans shortly.

  • Run a sub 1:40 half-marathon.

I would also like to clock in 1,000 miles this year, though it would be a chore to calculate =/

Life

Happy 2011!!

    Happy New Year, Hillary! I love that picture – I just saved it as my background for my computer so I can see it EVERY DAY!

    I just found your blog, and I love that we are so alike! I’m a college student that is definitely type A…all about the schedules and plans and lacking any spontaneous action in my life. But, just like you, I hope to break that all down a bit this year! Good luck to both of us :)

    Happy New Year! I log all my workouts on trainingpeaks.com, it’s free and you can easily see how many miles you’ve run over the year (or week, month, etc.) without calculating it yourself! Thought I’d share that with you :)

      Thank you! What I meant was that I don’t have a Garmin Forerunner to calculate my mileage as I run, so I’d have to do it ‘manually’ by some GPS system on the computer for every new route I run.

    I think letting go of “perfect” is a great idea! One of the best things you can do for yourself. I’m excited to run another half marathon this year. And I have some work-related goals, too.

    Happy New Year!

    I logged all my miles last year from January to August, but I got so lazy about it! You will do awesome in your goals. Good luck!

    I have a huge sweet tooth, too, and so this year I’m going to avoid sugar at all costs and try to see how I do without and use natural sweeteners in my baked goods!

    I absolutely LOVE that photo/quote thing. Amazing.

❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣

We want to hear from YOU: Who has been your supportive soul sister through the ups and downs of 2020? ⁣⁣
