Top Five Goals of 2023

 Hello again, fellow bloggers! Hope this post finds you keeping up with those goals as we head to the end of our first week of 2023.

Speaking of goals I wanted to share my top 5 goals of 2023. I have many smaller goals, but these are the three big ones that I am focusing on the most.

1. Lose weight

I do have a specific number in mind that I am keeping private. I am implementing small changes and some bigger ones to reach this goal. I have struggled with my weight for most of my life. I would like to finally break the vicious cycle and shed those unwanted pounds by creating sustainable life changes.

2. Pay off current debt

We currently have quite a bit of debt in personal loans and credit cards. We are fortunate enough not to have a car loan or mortgage at this time. these pesky debts that we carry now have no place in our future. So, I plan for us to eliminate these as we move through 2023. At present moment there are a total of 8 debts that must be eliminated.

3. Finish our house

We have been working on updating and repairing my mother's house since it became mine. There is still quite a bit of work to do, but we are cash flowing, so it has been moving a bit slowly. We are hoping to speed that process up and finish our house so we can get moved in.

4. Write a novel

If you have been to my YouTube channel, read any past posts before I deleted them, or know me in real life...Then you know that this has been a dream of mine since I could hold a pen. I want to write a novel. 

5. Travel More

My husband and I love to travel, but don't get to do it nearly as much as we would like. So my final goal in the top 5 is to travel more. I have several places I would love to visit. Traveling more would include camping, day trips, weekend trips, and the bigger trips. This is very important to us so we would like to make it a reality. I mean, life is just too short and the world is so big!

That covers my top 5 goals of 2023. I look forward sharing my journey with you. I am also sharing daily things over on my Instagram. You can find me @jaimebarfield

Have a beautiful weekend!

Hello 2023! 🎆

 Hello fellow bloggers! Wow! I have been absent for quite a while. I had no idea how long it had been since I visited my blog until I was here and saw the old post I had done welcoming everyone to 2022! Let's see if I can make 2023 a better blogging year.

I spent a lot of time trying to decide what I would blog about in 2023. Since I love to write so much, I figured what is the harm in just blogging about anything and everything. I've never found blogs with bland words that read like textbooks very interesting. Do this is you want to lose weight, do this if you want to time manage. I like the ones that talk about many different things. I also love the ones that come with some fun and fire.

I hope that is what you will find here on my blog. Fun and fire! You may see posts about my weight loss journey or a book I read. A good movie or a trip we took. I plan to treat this just as I did Xanga all those years ago. Does anyone even remember Xanga? Man, I do. I still miss that blog site. It was fun. I always preferred it to MySpace (shock!) and hated it when it went where all the best and fun websites go to die. Anyway, I will blog about what I want. If you aren't interested in seeing where this journey goes, then you don't have to stick around. Although, I really hope that you will.

Don't panic! I plan to have labels to make it easier to locate posts that pertain to what you want to read about. Interested in how much weight my booty lost this month. You might find that under a weight loss label or goals. Who knows? I'm still figuring all that out. 

Well, that is enough blabbing. I'm going to delete that 2022 post because it is just embarrassing it has been that long since I touched my blog. 

I'm back fellow bloggers and readers. Hope you will stick around to see where this goes.
