  1. Hello Sisters! My 2022 goal is to pay off my debt…like COMPLETELY! (Less than $15,000) I don’t want it hanging over my head any longer. I Keep my goals on a mirror in my bedroom, so I see them every day multiple times a day. I also plan to take a picture of my goal and put it as my screensaver on my phone…the more it is front and center, the more I can stay focused. I have also broken-down steps to achieving this goal (how much I need to save, how often, and how do I plan to save). I am excited to take on this task and even while I write this, it brings me joy. I claim victory and look forward to updating you all this time next year (or sooner).

    • Hi Trues! I LOVE IT! Literally doing everything in your power to keep that goal top of mind – and that’s the key to making sure your day-by-day actions help you get closer to achieving it! Way to go! I can’t wait to hear when you become completely debt-free! You got this!

  2. Everyday is an opportunity for a new beginning. I’m constantly striving to live a healthy lifestyle through proper food management and adequate activity. It’s a daily goal that yields long term benefits.

    • “Everyday is an opportunity for a new beginning.” – LOVE that! It’s so true and I think focusing on our health is a recipe for a more fulfilling life. It’s definitely something I want to put more emphasis on in the new year as well.

  3. Some of my goals this year is to buy a new home, join a writers club so I can start writing for production companies, movies and short plays. Also, I want to do peer writing articles about African American mental health and self care. Further, I want to start my new garden so my family can enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables. I love making goals and achieving them.
