Already dreaming of spring! 💐🌸🌷💭 
I was feeling super discouraged and unmotivated when thinking about making goals for 2021, however, yesterday I made myself sit down and recap the year and plan for next year. This time last year when I was making 2020 goals, I was feeling super motivated, positive, and excited about a new year and a new decade (also 2020 was a super pretty number)! 2020 was supposed to be "everyone's year" and was supposed to be the year of so many weddings and so many celebrations! I had a lot of weddings both on my personal calendar and scheduled for me to photograph and many of them didn't end up happening. It was a really hard and challenging year for everyone. It's been so difficult to see how it's effected so many of my family and friends. Once I got started and thinking through the last year, it got easier and seeing how much I still accomplished despite everything that has happened was super encouraging. When I sit down to do my goals and year reflections, I make it a whole thing! I get a drink, snacks, light a candle, put on some music (this year I played the "Your Favorite Coffeehouse" spotify playlist) and settle in at my table with a blanket. For the past 4 years I've been filling out the Year Compass booklet and it has really been a cool experience to take the time filling it out and reflecting, but also being able to start my whole goal setting ritual by reading what I wrote the previous year. These booklets ask all the right questions and I feel like it really gets me thinking and reflecting. This year they even included a specific pandemic section that asked questions that are super relevant to how I'm sure we're all feeling and it was helpful to be able to do a brain dump of my thoughts and feelings of the year (another plus is the booklet is completely free and printable! Just googled Year Compass and you'll find it). Now that I've closed out on 2020, I'm more than ready for 2021 and I'm hopeful that it'll be a much better year! 
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!!! 🎄☃️ 
Rainy days and listening to rain fall is my absolute favorite type of day, but I have to say peaceful snowy days are a close second! The snow today had me thinking about this beautiful snowy wedding from last January! 😍⛄️❄️
