14 in 14

Welcome 2014!

I am super excited to start a new year! Much of my 2013 was spent planning and celebrating my wedding. I had a lot of fun looking up different ideas for all of the details of our special day, but man can a girl lose track of time with all that's available on the web these days! In the end I feel it was all worth it, I was on cloud 9 our entire wedding day and other than a snafu with a golf cart breaking down I wouldn't change a thing!  The year came to a close with a great holiday season and an awesome New Years Eve party in Miami FL.

Now, as we kick off a new year, I thought it would be fun to join my good friend +DANA LOTZ (of Lotz Lane) and start a blog. A great idea in theory, but I was so overwhelmed at first - what was I to write about?! I was to the point that I considered writing about my search for what to write about, but that didn't seem interesting enough for an entire blog. Then as I started to consider my 2014 New Years Resolutions, I had the idea for "14 in 14" - so I started brainstorming for 14 things to work on this year and came up with this list below:

1. 14 date nights with Mike
2. 14 workouts with Mike (no, not that kind...)
3. 14 loop walks with Mike
4. 14 creations (art / paint / sketch / flowers / videos / crafts / etc.)
5. 14 new-to-me recipes
6. 14 new-to-me beers
7. 14 new-to-me movies
8. 14 industry webinars (attend and write about here in the blog)
9. 14 articles (read and write about here in the blog)
10. 14 jump rope workouts per month
11. 14 stretching workouts per month
12. 14 fitness "challenges"
13. 14 language lessons a month on Duolingo  
14. 14 random acts of kindness (I'll need to search for ideas so they'd won't be entirely random)

I see this new blog as my own little corner (or Korner) of the world that I can use to hold myself accountable to these 14 things! This year is going to be an adventure starting with a positive attitude and working to become the best version of myself that I can be. I'm looking forward to writing all about it, sharing it with you (whoever you may be) and looking back through these entries in a year to reminisce about all that goes on in these weeks and months ahead of me!
