2017 was quite a year of professional growth for me. I accomplished goals that I set forth for myself that I honestly never thought I would achieve. There were others who didn’t think I was capable of achieving those goals either. I showed the hell out of them. Damn, 2017 was good to me on that end.

HOWEVER, there is always a downfall isn’t there? Where I grew by bounds professionally, my personal growth was stunted. I had so much that I wanted to accomplish (including keeping up with this blog) that I never even started. What’s up with that? I know that I can multitask, but it’s as if I chose not to because I didn’t want to focus on anything other than work. I don’t want to be one of those women that become successful in one faction at the detriment of the other. I will not become one of those women.

2018 I’m going to continue to grow in my profession. This black girl magic is going to drip all up and through the work force. But I’m going to focus a lot more on my personal life, too. It’s time for a year of self-care, girl trips, solo activities. A year of yoni steaming, gym going, and crystal vibing. This year I’m raising credit scores, investing in my savings account, INVESTING IN ME! It’s time I remember that I can’t just go to work and come home. I need to take care of myself because I deserve it. I worked hard last year. I’m working hard this year. But my to-do list will have to include some personal activities also. Even if I’m in it by myself (which…I hate doing things by myself. But I will learn). Y’all better get ready for this glo.

Black Yoni Society…BaBYS….we are poppin in our magic in 2018!
