I am kicking off my goals for 2023 with a focus on my health, with some news that my cholesterol is a bit high and an upcoming colonoscopy, it seems a top priority. But that isn’t all I am going to focus on.
I’ve been mulling over a complete tear it down … rebrand … or just start over moments when it comes to some aspects of my business …. No clear answers just yet but I’m good with allowing it to unfold as it is and yes I am fully aware that I keep talking about clear, specific goals, but you know it isn’t always possible.
I will be sharing inside Around the Coffee Pot in detail about how I do things so you get behind-the-scenes details about the good, the bad, and the well, not so good.

- Hike every other week – I live by the Blue Ridge Parkway with plenty of trails to choose from!
- Annual Physical – since I just had one this will be in December.
