Hi, 2016. So far, so good. I have big expectations this year. Big dreams that I hope come to fruition, big plans I’m praying for guidance on executing, and the biggest hopes for a little less crazy and a lot more rest.
I want to find joy in simplicity. I want to have a glass of wine on the patio with my husband without feeling pressure to head back into the office and check one last email or update my Instagram account. Don’t get me wrong, work is great, especially if you love what you’re doing. But balance is necessary and so is rest. That’s why in 2016 I’m choosing to carve out time for rest – reading cheesy fiction novels, laying out on the beach, and singing karaoke with my husband. That’s the really good stuff and I want need more of it.
In 2016 I’m saying yes to – simplifying, vacations (where we I don’t let myself work), turning the computer off early, putting systems and routines into place that allow for both productivity and relaxation, brunch dates with friends, meaningful blog posts, and bubble baths.
What you can expect from the blog this year: really fun collaborations, intentional content, regularly scheduled posts, easy ways to shop my looks and favorite finds, and a pretty fabulous monthly newsletter that you absolutely must sign up for.
Thanks so much for your readership and support in 2015! It was an amazing year both personally and for Winsome & Gold.
xo, mckenzie
