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.

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.

My Targets For 2023

by RachelSwirl January 1, 2023

So here are, it’s a new year and with that, it’s time to turn the page and look at 2023 as an opportunity to start afresh. Whilst 2022 started fairly well, it soon became an incredibly difficult and emotionally draining year for our family. 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. …
