Now that 2015 is officially here, many of us are thinking about what we would like this new year to look like. One of my biggest personal goals is to be more purposeful and intentional with the way I use my time. To do this, I have been evaluating my current projects and where I want to spend my time. I want to make sure that everything I am devoting time to is contributing something positive to my life, even if its just something that does nothing other than make me happy. This blog of mine is one of those things that makes me happy so I thought it would be a good idea to set a few goals for myself and this space.
Blog at least one time per week
The second half of 2014 proved to be a blogging dry spell for me. Sometimes I would go weeks and weeks without posting. Hopefully I’ll be posting multiple times per week but, at the very least, I don’t want to let a single week go by this year without posting.
Sponsor at least one blog a month
I really want to dedicate time and effort to growing and developing my corner of the interwebs this year and cultivate a little community here. To do that I have to connect with people each and every day. I would love to have the money to sponsor every single other blog out there but I think the goal of one a month is a healthy place to start.
Start offering sponsor packages again
This year I will finally update my media kit (hello! can you say outdated?!) and start offering sponsorship packages again. As much as I want to develop this little space of mine, I want to help y’all develop your spaces and business too! If you have ideas for what you would like to see in sponsorship packages, send your ideas my way!
Attend more local blogger meet-ups this year
There are a couple of local blogger groups in the Triangle. I want to be better about dedicating time to go to these events and making new friends! My goal is to go to at least one every 3 months.
Engage more
This amazing blogging community is what keeps me coming back to the keyboard whenever I can which is why I want to engage with this community more. Not only do I want to promote my own posts more but I want to engage with my readers and with the bloggers behind the blogs that I love to read. Social media is a wonderful tool and I want to utilize all my social media platforms more this year to get to know y’all even better!

What great goals 🙂 Love these

Great goals!
One of my blog goals for this year is also to engage more. I feel that lately the blogging community I have been in seems rather quiet, no one is really commenting on blogs on tweeting each other. My goal is to change to spend time commenting on blogs I read and really interacting.
Happy 2015!
