This time last year I wrote about 2024 and all the things that happened. Month by month, I recalled highlights from trips, illnesses, and loss. This year, I’m going to skip the walk down memory lane. Instead I want to consider the five goals I listed for myself in December 2024. Did I meet them?
2025 Goals
More clients to help reach their health and fitness goals: This one was a slam dunk. In April I reached out to a new personal training gym in town and was hired as a personal trainer. By May, I was seeing clients there, as well as online. My goal has been to have 8 to 10 clients at a time and I have successfully reached that for the last 8 months!
More money to support my children’s activities and dreams: This goal is related to the first and fourth goals in this list. I did make more money through training, as well as a new job. I also was careful with the money I made and paid down debt, something I am continuing to attempt as time goes on. It’s not easy with three kids and costs going up but I’m doing OK.
Continued good health for my family and friends: We have had a good year healthwise. For the most part everyone is doing well with the exception of some family members battling age-related issues. We are fortunate!
A new job challenge, whether in my current role or something new: On November 10 I started a new job at the University of Rochester Medical Center. As a director of marketing, it is something new and challenging since I’m leaning in to the marketing side of my skillset rather than the communications side.
An unexpected happy surprise I may write about this time next year. 😉: I’m not sure I have an unexpected surprise. I supposed our last-minute decision to get an AirBnB for the week in the Outer Banks was something I hadn’t counted on. It was a wonderful vacation. We ALL went, including Ozzy! 2025 was a good year! Now, on to 2026. My superstition tells me even years are not as fortunate as odd years but maybe 2026 will break that spell! Here’s hoping!. For now, enjoy the rest of 2025!
