2017 goals
A few years ago, I began to make goals for the new year. Some of them seem pretty far fetched, and some are just things that I really want to implement into my life. With goals, I know it's important to make them attainable as well as something you can track. Some of mine aren't, but others are more numbers driven. I love having goals within specific categories because I will still feel accomplished, even if I only conquer a few under each this year.
