Happy New Year, everyone! In an effort to be posting more often, I thought I’d clue you in on some exciting things happening over here on The Savvy Adventure as well as recap the past year!
I hope you all had a great holiday season and are happy and healthy. I’m currently a little under the weather, but definitely on the mend thank God. I wanted to take a few moments before talking about my new goals to reflect on all of the amazing things that happened in my life the past year. As an enneagram 3 I tend to only focus on the future and what is coming up, but it really serves me (as well as everyone in their own lives) to reflect on all of the good/bad things that have happened and how far we have come.

After the past few years of making resolutions and goals I am learning to be more cautious about relying on other people to help achieve goals, or relying on outside influences in general. I can’t have “travel to 5 countries” as an item if the US is listed as a dangerous place to fly from! This year I’ve tried to stick with things that I only really need to rely on myself for, which I think sets me up for success in a much better way.
2022 Goals
- Get some more certifications for work
- Launch my business (more to come on this!!)
- Get a French bulldog puppy
- Read a book a week
- Try the curly girl method (it’s a hair thing)
- Do my Duolingo every day
- Stop buying so much goo (skincare/hair/body products that I don’t need)
- Stop overbuying at the grocery store
- Get ripped (abs)
- + several other items….
I may have alluded to this in the past, but I have been using a lot of 2021 to work on launching another side hustle idea that I hope to one day turn into my full-time career. I have been a Scrum Master and Agile Coach for awhile, but always working under other people. I am taking my knowledge that typically is used to help IT Project teams and repurposing it to help non-IT people achieve their own goals and dreams in everyday life. There is still more to come as I finish up the last little bit of background work before I can launch, but I am so excited to get to share this with everyone. I’ve been working hard on this for so long and the launch should be in the next few weeks!
I always love to hear what others are working on and encourage you in whatever your goals are so feel free to share those in the comments!
Happy New Year and Happy Reading!
