The Christmas season is here and if you are like me you are already starting to think of things that you want to change for the upcoming year. After all having a plan in place is half the battle right. My Mother in Law always buys herself a Christmas present that is something she has bought for herself. Something that will bring her happiness in the upcoming year. So I thought I would share with you a few things that I will be purchasing for my To:Bridget, From: Bridget presents to bring in 2015 right.
First and foremost this year I needed to be a bit more organized. So to help me out on that front I am going to be buying myself my usual yearly planner. This will keep me on track and help me not miss any important appointments (providing I remember to write them down that is)
I am kinda in love with this planner because not only will it hold all of my appointments and such but it also provides spiritual verses and inspirational quotes to help keep me motivated. Let’s face it we all need that from time to time. Even more so when we see how slam packed our schedules are getting.
Every year I make a big deal about finding the perfect prayer journal for myself. In my prayer journal it is filled with all my hopes, dreams and personal thoughts for God. Yes, I take a great deal in picking out a perfect one because I save them every year. Someday these journals will provide my only daughter great comfort long after I am gone. Now seriously it takes me a while to pick one I love. I really don’t go for a bunch of frills but I do look for something that makes me smile and something that screams to me. 2015 this will be my new best friend that will be beside my bed.
It is small but not to small and it is just simply inviting to me. Not to mention it will be perfect thing to look at when I am ending my day.
Finally for my own wellness needs I will be trying out some essential oils so that I can promote a more natural living lifestyle. Now I am not saying that it will cure my aliments but it sure does not hurt to try right? Also I happen to think if nothing else a lot of the oils smell simply amazing!! Not to mention I know three amazing sales reps that I am sure would love to show me the ends and outs.
So these are the items that I will be using to start 2015 off on the right foot. Do you have any ideas or plans for the ways to start your 2015 year off right?
