My Targets For 2024

by RachelSwirl January 1, 2024

So here it is, the New Year has arrived. Let’s hope that 2024 gives us all the opportunity for a clean slate, new beginnings, and a fresh set of goals for the year ahead. Whilst 2023 was somewhat of a rollercoaster of a year, I chose to focus on the ups rather than the downs thus I’ll remember 2023 as the year that our little family made a whole heap of forever memories, together, as we enjoyed what was the holiday of a lifetime. Despite the difficulties and the down points that we endured throughout that time, I’m proud to …

Looking Back At My Targets For 2023

by RachelSwirl December 31, 2023

Each year I put together a list of targets and goals for the year ahead. This time twelve months ago I wrote my ‘targets for 2023‘ and I thought I’d take a moment to reflect on that list and identify what was (or perhaps was not) achieved before I write another list for the new year ahead.

Still, we achieved a fair amount during that time, and whilst it wasn’t easy, I’m proud of our achievements. With 2023’s arrival I felt it was the right time to write a new list and make new plans for our future together as a family. So without further ado, here are my targets for 2023. Repaint …

My Targets For 2022

by RachelSwirl January 1, 2022

So here we are, it’s 2022, a new year, and the ideal opportunity to start afresh! Though 2021 was much like 2020 in the sense that the World continued to battle against a pandemic thus many of us spent time living in lockdown, unable to achieve our daily endeavours never mind our goals and aspirations I was pleasantly surprised by just how much I achieved. With the new year arriving, I felt that it was the perfect opportunity to hold out hope, think positively, and dream big. On that note, I’ve written fifteen fabulous intentions and aspirations for the year ahead. …
