Every New Year we are excited to put the previous year behind us and start anew. And often this comes with looking ahead and setting goals for what you want to accomplish. But if our goals aren't created properly, we are setting ourselves up for failure right from the start.
So this year when you create your goals, add this additional element to ensure your success. Not only do you want to write them down and look at them daily, but you also want to visualize them as if they have happened.
Want to lose 20 lbs? Visualize yourself 20 lbs lighter.
Want to have a better relationship this year. Visualize yourself enjoying your family on a regular basis.
Want to pay off all your debt? Visualize your balance sheet saying $0 due.
Visualizing your goals is the missing ingredient to achieving what you want to accomplish. Enjoy the experience, and enjoy your visions coming to be!

Mother’s Day can be an emotional rollercoaster for stepmoms. I still remember my very first one—hoping for a simple card, a small acknowledgment that I mattered. Instead, I got nothing. No mention, no nod, no recognition. And what stung the most? Someone else was acknowledged.
I didn’t speak up. I held back my feelings. And by the end of the day, I broke down in tears. My son, only a child, felt my sadness and acted out. Looking back, I realize I had placed expectations on people who barely knew me. I hadn’t yet found my place in the family, let alone earned the space to be celebrated.
Now, years later, I understand that Mother’s Day doesn’t have to fit into one mold. In this blog, I share what I’ve learned about honoring your role, setting boundaries, and creating celebrations that reflect you—not what others expect.
