january HELLO
A NOTE FROM KATE
Welcome to the start of your best blogging year yet!
Don’t you just love the start of a new year? It’s like clean sheet day, but 1,000 times better. Anything is possible in the long, twelve months that spread out ahead of you. Goals are going to be kicked, and things you never would have ever imagined in your wildest dreams are going to happen too. And while I don’t have a crystal ball, I am going to predict a few things for you. 1 – You are going to have at least one (probably several), “pinch me, is this really happening moments”, the good kind. Whether it’s getting approached by a dream brand, having one of your posts go viral, or getting to meet an idol. You will definitely have bunch of amazing moments this year… how exciting is that?! 2 – You will also definitely have some of the shittier, more frustrating, “why am I even bothering” moments too. That is just the way this whole blogging thing… and even this whole life thing works. Make sure you have your best blogging buddies on hand when this happens to help push you through it, and come back to your goals and your why, to help you keep going (because the worst thing you could do is to stop if this is something you really want!) 3 – Your blog is going to grow. In many different ways. And some parts of it will stay the same, or even go backwards a little. Focus on the growth, re-strategize the rest (it might not even be an area that matters), and just keep on hustling! I can’t wait to see what this year holds for all of us! Happy blogging,
