New Beginnings: ❄️ Winter Solstice and #2021VISIONS ✨

Winter Solstice Means New Beginnings

On December 21, the Winter Solstice begins in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s the official start of WINTER, the shortest day and the longest night of the year. The Winter Solstice has spiritual significance because it marks a new season of life, a turning point. Time to hit “reset” and look towards the future! What better day to set 2021 intentions?!

I have a talent for clearly defining a vision, finding the resources and connections to facilitate it, and cultivating persistence and determination to make that vision become a reality. Probably why I’m so good at marketing!  ;)

STEP 3: Create a literal VISION BOARD!

I am a Vision Board Queen, having discovered the magic of vision boarding a few years ago! You can cut out pictures and phrases from your favorite magazines or create a digital vision board on Pinterest! Whatever your format, this step is vital to your accountability and success. Having a visual reminder will keep you motivated as challenges and setbacks arise.

I’ll end with a quote.

“If you can dream it, you can do it.”
