December was the first time that I publicized goals that I had for myself and it was extremely inspiring and motivating to do!

Here’s my recap of these goals! The ones I have crossed off are the ones I managed to accomplish.

1. Create personalized Christmas cards
2. Finish a book 
3. Pursue cello opportunities
4. Start an investment portfolio 
5. Become a better cook 
6. Throw a Christmas Party 
7. Finish a codecademy course
8. Go on a sleigh ride
9. Go ice-skating
10. Make homemade ornaments/cookies 

 >> 2 “Finish a book“: I actually finished 5 books in the month of December! The Alchemist, The Art of Social Media, Life and Other Near-Death Experiences, Contagious: Why Things Catch On, and Whole 30  and I thoroughly enjoyed each of them! 

>>3″Pursue cello opportunities“: I was asked to play my cello in a Christmas performance by a lady I didn’t know very well and it turned out to be a great blessing. Saying “yes” opened up doors for me both spiritually and professionally. And, of course playing the cello always brings me great joy. I also turned down some cello opportunities that I now regret and have made a new goal for 2016 concerning this. 

>>4 “Start an investment portfolio“: I didn’t really “start” my investment portfolio but I did talk to a financial advisor so I consider this goal complete! I’d highly advise you guys to do the same, it’s really eye-opening especially into the world of “adult responsibilities”. 

>>5 “Become a better cook” : I can cross this off my list because my boyfriend has been complimenting my cooking consistently :) 

>>7 “Finish a codecademy course“: I finished the “HTML/CSS” course on Codecademy and had so much fun doing it! I’d highly recommend you guys to check it out, it’s completely free. 

>>10 “Make homemade cookies“: I had two rounds of making Christmas cookies and probably gained 5 pounds because of it. But boy were they good! Check out my post for them here –> Christmas Cookie Tips

I’m so excited for my January goals and hope to cross off everything on that list!
