2011: a continuous journey.

December 30, 2011 by Hillary 2 Comments

Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve (as if you weren’t aware).

Hard to believe 2011 is on its way out the door – bye!

At the end of 2010, I declared:

“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.”

Even so, I had a few hopes & dreams for the new year, which I thought I’d revisit today.

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

This is a constant work in progress; it wasn’t “resolved” per say, but I made many steps (including the Positive Monday Series) towards becoming the more carefree person I would like to be.

  • Say good-bye to my sugar addiction.

I gobbled up my fair share of dark chocolate this year, but I will say I think my serious sugar struggle has improved since I began eating a low-gluten diet this summer (more details to come).

  • Run a sub 1:40 half-marathon.

I ran 2 half-marathons this year, running a sub-1:40 in March with a time of 1:39:41. I hope to set a new PR with Half-Marathon No. 6!

2011 was all about self-improvements. I attempted to let go, I strengthened relationships, I trained, I studied, I laughed, I baked, and I definitely smiled more (continued from my 10 in 2010 Goals).

I also accomplished 2010 Goals #4, 5 and 6 – finally!

 

 

What did you accomplish this year? What are you proud of?

Stay tuned for my take on twenty twelve…

Hillary

    Accepting myself and the things I do and not controlling every moment was, and has been, one of the hardest things for me to accept over the years… But I’m glad I have and am truly letting myself enjoy life around me :)

    I like your idea of “hopes and dreams” over big resolutions or goals. I think I’ll have to continue over a few of mine from 2011 to 2012 (like compost, find love). I did start my own blog and complete my first half marathon! I’m still working on my full list for 2012… guess that’s the part of life being a work in progress :)

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? ⁣⁣
