Having a Sweet ’16?

We have tipped into the second half of 2016.

And as I hang out in the Northern Hemisphere it is now summer – yeah!!!!

But first, how was the first half of the year for you?

Glad it’s over?   Meh?   The usual?   Fabulous?

Well, here’s what I’m suggesting….. let’s aim higher – a lot higher – than “Meh” and “the usual”.

Let’s take a resounding stand for making July and August “the best e.verrrrr” (and yes, it was meant to sound a bit teenager-ish, why should they have all the fun?!)

And why only July and August?

Firstly, for us Northerners it’s SUMMERTIME and I for one am extremely excited because I’m in Canada and come September summer is slinking away already.

And, secondly, September feels like the start of a New Year what with school going back and, like I mentioned before, colder days rolling in, so at that time I’ll be rolling out a super sweet planning session for those last few months of the year so we can finish this year of the Sweet ’16 like Superstars!! Put your name in the running for Superstardom here and I’ll let you know when the planning session is ready to get a-planning.

But for now we will focus on July and August.

What do you want to get out of the next 55 days?

I want to be well rid of my hermit shell of winter and socialize tons. I want to enjoy early summer mornings and eat breakfast on the deck. I want lazy days where we, as a family, lay around with our heads propped up on each others backs and in a house with 4 females, we braid hair until we are tired of it. I want to be a tourist in my own city of Toronto. I want to show up ready and fully present to crew an epic ultra marathon my husband is running – Badwater 135. I want to improve my style and get some new clothes – it’s long over due. I want to prepare and eat lots of summer foods – bbq’s, fruits and salads.

So, no major goals for me, but a series of small ones that will feel like a summer well lived.

What will it be for you? Write it down. Keep it close by. Read it often. If you don’t read it often you will forget about what is inspiring you right now and you’ll let “the usual” take over.

If you don’t want to get to August 31 and report back to me that July and August were just “the usual” or “meh” then you have to put your attention on what you do want and take action accordingly.

Do the work. You’re worth it.

Hugs, Vicky xxx
