When I sit down to write my goals for the year I like to choose a word to help set the tone and give me a bit of direction. The last year, I learned a lot about myself and what I want out of my life and my career, which leads me to my 2019 word of the year. I asked Jess and Caylin (who will be contributing here more regularly) to share theirs too, since I think it’s always nice to hear different ideas and perspectives and maybe even help some of you with your goals for the year.
Our 2019 Word of the Year

I really like the idea of the word intention, for a theme for the year…if it’s ok I think I will use that too 🙂
I want to be more intentional with my time this year, and how I spend my days…with the idea of working smarter, not necessarily harder. There are things in my business that I spend too much time on, and would benefit from automating, and/or delegating tasks out.
It’s going to be a big year for me, I am moving back to Newport with my SO, after being in Philly together for 6 years. We are buying a home and will be rebuilding our life together in a new (but familiar) spot. That will be a big change in my business, and I am nervous but excited to see where it goes.
Looking forward to tomorrow’s post!

I suppose I never really thought about the idea of just a word to set intention (see what I did there) for the year – but I’m into it. I also, am not a big believer in resolutions, but rather setting goals, and revelations for whats to come. I’ve spent the last few years trying to define myself – which while corny, is accurate as I think it took me a long time to get into a groove with what my future would hold and being OK without knowing what the next step might be. I am psyched that 2019 is here.
I think if I had to pick a word(s) it would be strength of conviction. I am feeling like this year my blog is going to take off because I finally am feeling confident in what I’m doing. And it is that kind of attitude, I’ve always believed that will drive success.
I also am SUPER excite for Katie Gill (see above) to be moving home. She and I are both pretty aggressive Jess Kirby fans, and likely are reading these as soon as you send them.
Thank you always for your guidance and thoughts
Much love. xo

I struggled to come up with my word this year – nothing felt right -and I knew I needed to just let go and let it come to me, and it did exactly that this morning.

As in “to move smoothly and continuously along, as if without effort or resistance.” It’s perfect. It’s not stagnant, there’s purpose and progress. It’s not passive, it’s deliberate. But it leaves room for spontaneity and opportunity, with none of the frustration that comes with pushing too hard.

My word is Trust.
Mainly trusting myself, my ambitions, my dreams, my instincts. I keep saying “I trust myself” when I feel unsure about something and it snaps me right into the mindset I want to be in for 2019.

I love how all 3 of your intentions for 2019 kind of relate to each other! They’re all tied together with being more intentional with your time, energy, money, mental space, etc. I’ve found a lot of my friends and family are working on the same thing. Less time scrolling through social media and more time actually being present in life! Can’t wait to see what 2019 brings!
