New Year's Resolutions!

via

I'm so excited today to share my New Year's Resolutions with y'all! I didn't make very specific ones last year (you can check them out here) and I have to be honest, it was hard to keep them because there was nothing to quantify. So this year I want to be more intentional with my goals, narrow them down, and have a few to strive to keep. So without further ado here are my 2016 resolutions...

Ring in 2016 in Style!

It's hard to believe we'll be ringing in 2016 in just two more sleeps! I love the start of a new year because as cheesy as it sounds it is a fresh beginning and a new start- a chance to wipe the slate clean and begin fresh! But before we get to all that, we have to figure out what to wear! :) Today I've rounded up dresses, shoes, and accessories that will carry you in to the new year in style (how else would you enter it??) Let me know what you'll be wearing in the comments below!

Pop, Fizz, Clink! {Happy New Year + Goals!}

I'm so excited to share my New Year's Goals with y'all today! It's taken me quite some time to nail down exactly what I wanted my goals to be for 2015, but I'm thrilled with what I landed on! 

For this year, I decided to focus on less specifics (i.e.: "go to gym three times per week") and more on the "big ideas" of what I wanted my new year to look like. 2014 was a toughie for me, and there were far too many up and down moments, but I just have this thrilling little feeling in my heart that 2015 is going to be something special!! 

And friends, I can't thank YOU enough for making this year so special! I've seen Girl Meets Bow grow in ways I never thought it would and it is completely due to your support and positive reactions to my little corner of the web. This has been an incredible journey and I am so thankful for your daily visits and kind words! I can't wait to see where the next year takes us! 

So what are y'all doing to ring in the new year?? For the first time in years, I'm getting dolled up and heading out on the town. Bring on the sequins, bring on the sparkle, and bring on the best year yet!

2014: I'm Coming for 'Ya!

Looking back on 2013, I am amazed at all that I have been through, accomplished, loved, lost, and recovered- who knew that 12 little months could change everything?

2013 was a life changing year, but when I review it all in retrospect I can see how clearly the Lord is shaping me and shaping my future. He has put the most incredible love and support in my life, with friends and family who would do anything for me (and have) and He has worked in my heart every day this year to soften it, mold it, and turn it solely towards Him.

I am facing 2014 with a renewed sense of passion and purpose to live a life of LOVE- because that is what it's all about!

I am not the biggest fan of New Year's Resolutions, because as much as I love to plan, life just changes so darn much in a year! What I do believe in, however, is the everlasting goodness of our Father, the love of our families, and the sweet spirit of our friends. I want to remember every day this year that the Lord is faithful, He is good, and His timing trumps mine- every time!



Friends, I pray that your 2014 is filled with faith, love, and laughter; I can't wait to share my journey with you along the way!
