Engage! My full New Year’s resolution is engage with effective boundaries and communication. I tied in my word of the year with one focused resolution this year. My word for 2019 and 2020 were focus and live.

What a wild ride 2020 has been. It taught me so much. Here are 10 lessons I learned.

• Nothing is a given, enjoy the little things
• My boys are so resilient and can handle big change
• I can teach my kindergartener to read
• I could manage remote learning and be home with my boys for 6 months
• We went to Disney in 2019 for a reason : )
• I am in control of my responses and not in control of what happens
• Make the most and adapt to what you can do; no good comes from focusing on what you cannot do
• An internal locus of control helps you focus on what you can control, social media and the media in general should not control you
• Virtual runs were a great way to train and accomplish fitness goals
• Getting laid off taught me to open a new door. 4 online classes completed towards my goal of becoming a teacher

Here’s to an amazing 2021!
