The clock strikes midnight, fireworks are in the air, and glasses are toasted to a new year!  It is officially 2024, Hooray!!

But before I step into all that the incredibleness of 2024, I take a moment to be grateful for 2023. I am grateful for the experiences that shaped me, the people that supported me, the lessons learned, the memories made, and the growth I experienced. Most importantly, I am grateful for all the seeds planted that will grow and thrive in 2024!

As the sun rises on New Year’s Day, the possibilities are endless, and the future is written by God and co-authored by me. This year will be filled with progress, not perfection. I am committed to continuous improvement and in the pursuit of living my best life.

The goal for 2024 is to THRIVE! To me, thriving goes far beyond meeting basic needs; it encapsulates a holistic approach to living that embraces growth, resilience, and fulfillment. I will do the ordinary and allow God to orchestrate the extraordinary. 

Travel is on the list for 2024, both in the US and internationally. It is time to pack the bags, book the flights, take the road trips, and check things off our bucket list.

Heart-centered generosity is always on the agenda each year. This year, the goal is to seek more opportunities to serve the community and spread kindness.

Relocation and embarking on a new chapter. We have packed up boxes and let go of things that no longer serve us to make space for what truly matters: experiences, connections, and personal growth. We will be saying goodbye to the home that we thought was the dream so that we can embrace a simpler life, closer to nature, and filled with fresh experiences. Now that is what we call living the dream.

Inspire as many people as possible to live their best and healthiest lives. As a holistic health and wellness coach it is my passion to witness my clients increase confidence through daily intentional living to experience living their best life.

Value giving in all things business. Whether it is a fellow business owner, a client, or just someone I barely met, it is my goal to make a positive impact. This year I am starting a podcast, cranking up my social media presence, and launching a few new things, NO I won’t disclose what they are, but you will want to stay tuned for sure.

Expecting and experiencing the most incredible moments and milestones this year. I will start by finishing my holistic health and wellness program with a 4.0 GPA, then pass the exam for the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaches with flying colors. Once I obtain my coaching certification, I plan to obtain my state massage license. It’s a long story, but I graduated from massage school many years ago and never got my license.

This year will be a fantastic balance of personal and professional experiences. Setting boundaries, prioritizing self-care, cultivating meaningful relationships, and making time for things that bring my heart joy is a priority. I am ditching the “new year, new me” thought and just embracing who God designed me to be.

Thriving is not a destination; it is a continuous journey. So let 2024 be the beginning of going from surviving to truly thriving. I have made a commitment to myself that I will live life to the fullest, doing things that bring me more joy, and ALWAYS giving God the glory.

I raise my glass to toast CHEERS to 2024!

As I stand on the threshold of a new year, I find myself filled with anticipation and excitement for the possibilities that lie ahead.  The canvas of 2024 is blank, waiting to be painted with the bold colors of experiences, challenges, and accomplishments.  In this blog post, I will outline my plans, goals, and intentions for the upcoming year, as I embark on a journey of personal and professional growth.

Professional Development:  I will continue to invest time and effort in enhancing my skills to be of better service to my coaching clients.  Whether it is reading motivational books, acquiring new certifications, or studying emerging trends.  I will also continue to build meaningful relationships through networking, forging new relationships, and strengthening existing ones.

Health and Well-Being:  Taking care of my physical health is non-negotiable.  I will continue to increase my exercise, improve my diet, and get sufficient sleep.  I will also continue to strengthen my mindfulness practices such as journaling and meditation. 

Personal Growth:  I am looking forward to exploring new places and experiencing different cultures as a powerful catalyst for my personal growth.  One is the Soul Journey Cruise to Alaska I am hosting in September 2024!  I aspire to share my knowledge and experiences through mentorship, workshops, and online platforms contributing to the collective inspiration and growth of my community.

Creativity and Expression:  I plan to contribute to future blogs and creative writing sharing my thoughts and experiences to inspire others in their own journey.  I will begin to write my book “Igniting the Light Within:  A Guide to Living an Inspired Life”, pushing past my comfort zone and embracing that I have valuable insight to share with the world.

In the tapestry of 2024, I see a rich blend of challenges, growth, and fulfillment.  Here’s to a year of purpose, progress, and positive change for everyone!

Focusing on the theme of ‘Joy’ for 2024 is an exciting prospect for me, especially as the calendar flips from December to January. This transitional period radiates with joy and enthusiasm, marked by a shared sense of generosity as we gear up for both giving and receiving. This time of year offers us a moment to tie up loose ends and embrace the infinite possibilities that the future holds. This is an exhilarating season for charting plans, setting goals, and defining intentions for 2024.

As an entrepreneur, I often allow my business to take precedence in my life. However, this year is poised to be different. The reason I embarked on an entrepreneurial journey was to attain time freedom, and it’s high time for me to prioritize reinstating that foundational element into my business.

With this newfound commitment to joy in mind, I began planning my 2024 calendar by prioritizing personal travel, outings, and engagements that bring me joy. Next, I added my consistent volunteer commitments (sources of joy). I then identified events and experiences, such as coursework, concerts, and theater, that I wish to attend in the coming months.

To my surprise, I discovered a significant oversight, not just in my own practices but in many businesses: the reluctance to publish schedules well in advance. This realization hit home for me. As a planner, I understand the joy of choosing opportunities deliberately and waiting until the last minute to finalize schedules is often counterproductive. While I remain open to spontaneous experiences, I’ve found that committing to events and classes months in advance, including my own, leads to a higher level of commitment, better follow-through, and more joy.

This awareness prompted a shift in my approach for 2024. I am currently updating my website to include a comprehensive schedule of the classes and events that I will be involved with throughout the year. By sharing this information, I aim to bring joy and empower others to plan and participate in advance. Through fostering a sense of anticipation and inclusion, the sharing of my plans becomes a simple yet impactful adjustment that I believe will enhance both my personal and professional life with joy.

Thank you, Cheryl Clark, for your blog prompt that triggered this “Ah Ha!” moment in my 2024 planning journey. KUDOS to all of us for prioritizing continued improvement and the joy it brings!

I had to stop my brain from making the first response to this blog prompt – I am going to make 6 figures.

I had to stop my brain from making the next response to this blog prompt – I will be debt-free.

I had to stop my brain…

Did you have to pause? Did you have the same sort of thoughts when you stopped and thought about your goals, plans, and intentions for 2024?

I preach money is a result.  (Often a result of a LOT of action, steps, and tasks.) Yet, here I am writing out goals, plans, and intentions around a result!  A result I have no control over – frankly.  I can however control my actions, steps, and tasks! 

So, with all that being said:

In 2024, I will have two business adventures flourishing!

Clark Strategies will serve the entrepreneurial community with connections, training, classes, group accountability sessions, and networking opportunities.

Led Me To This will serve those with a story.  It will serve those with a whisper, a platform where their voice and journey will be given a microphone in a safe environment for real, raw, and deep sharing.  It will serve the incarcerated being freed, the immigrants that lack so much compassion and understanding, and the addict and how they are not their choices and are doing what they know and can do merely to survive.

Both businesses will find me on a variety of stages with speaking opportunities to share and engage with others.  The speaking opportunities will create awareness, educate, and empower others.  Compensation for my speaking will come in many forms including monetary returns, donations for causes important to me and others and so much more.

Both businesses will have a team working with me (not under me) to create a larger ripple than I could ever imagine or do alone.

Both businesses will be recognized and fully translated into at least two languages, English and Spanish, for the year 2024.

I will be fluent in Spanish in 2024.

I will spend time traveling to ‘work’ these businesses and reach people in person in a variety of locations and countries.

I will have at least one office front that is a positive feel-good space holding all my paperwork and décor.  The staff will love being in that space and it will be an open door for many and meet many needs with its resources and connections.

Oh 2024, I am ready.

My calendar is full of plans and intentions for 2024.

My first plan is to publish five books within the year, three fiction and two non-fiction. The three fiction books will be part of one series. My second plan is to take off work in August to recover from giving birth to a surrogate baby. My third plan is to have one speaking engagement, either virtual or in person, per month for every month except July and August. I also intend to publish two courses during the year, one on how women can incorporate their faith into business, and the other on how women don’t have to be so scared of the financial aspects of their business. I also do two lives a week to serve people who need help but aren’t ready to take the next step quite yet. I believe in the end doing this will pay off!

As for my intentions, I show up in a loving, kind way that is true to myself. Sometimes this means I show up in sweatpants and a sweatshirt with no makeup and other times I will be dressed up with makeup on. I show up how I do with my close friends and family. I am also always striving to grow, personally and professionally. I am taking all the opportunities to learn and grow in all areas of my life. This means I am constantly reading books, taking courses, and listening to podcasts or audiobooks.

My 2024 is full of amazing opportunities, dreams, and experiences!
