Well hello to you my reader chums! Happy New Year and hello 2024 - I cannot believe it's the start of another new year. I know I say this every year but the past one swept by incredibly quickly. 

I'm really happy with my travels, the memories I made, the accomplishments and life lessons 2023 taught me and I cannot wait to see what 2024 brings. I love setting new goals every year as they give me something to work towards and focus on as the year maps out.

Whether you're thinking of your goals or interested in seeing mine, here are my goals for 2024.

I started my freelancing business in April 2023 and I've loved every minute of building it up. Although it's not all rainbows and fairies, running a business is everything I've ever wanted. In 2024, I'm aiming to build up my business to a more established and retained model. My goal is to build up my retainer clients, I'd love to have a few social media and blogging clients, helping those brands amplify their voices online.

I love working on websites and my other business goal is to book a website project every other month. I enjoy taking a brand's stories and turning them into engaging and user-friendly content online. But mostly, the goal of the business is to keep it going and thriving, learning along the way.

I began writing my 6th blog last year and I'm thoroughly enjoying the experience. As a twin, I've always wanted to write a book about twins and for m my 6th I have and this year, I'd like to work towards completing the first draft - and prepare it for editing.

As I'm getting older, there are more things I need to save for and I want to settle down to the family way of life and they require stable finances. I'd love to spend more time this year organising my finances and putting the steps in place for a more financially secure future.

I certainly got back into the reading habit this year as I got through many books on my backpacking travels. Since then, I've implemented reading into my morning routine and it has kept me on track to getting through some of my to-be-read pile. I love that I've fallen back in love with one of my first passions, reading and I'm excited to dive into more books this year.

I've wanted to begin a podcast for the longest time as I love the idea of starting conversations online in an audio way. As it has been moving around my mind for a while, I'd love to give it a go this year and see if I can make it happen.

Thank you for reading <3
