2013 was good to me in so many ways! I\u2019m surprised the year went by so quickly. Nothing in life will go as planned but it is best to go into a new year with resolutions! I attribute much of the positivity that came my way in 2013 with much favor, hard work, patience, envisioning myself where I am now and simply writing my visions and making them plain! It is that time of year to whip out your writing utensil, notepad, and a pot of black-eyed beans (no ham hock in mine please)! By the way, if you would like to join me in keeping up with my listed resolutions just follow @MellyC89 and use the following hashtags on twitter or FB. I\u2019d like to see how your resolutions are coming along.<\/p>\n
2014 New Year\u2019s Resolution: Health Conscious- Improve my overall lifestyle with an emphasis in health. #letsgetphysical #teamvegetarian #teamsnatchback<\/p>\n
Read Two Books per Month- 52 weeks. 26 books. Challenge accepted. #bookworm #26bookchallenge<\/p>\n
Volunteerism- Increase my volunteer involvement outside of the Challenge Detroit Program. #teamgiveback #activism #socialgood #volunteer<\/p>\n
Business Plan- I have an idea\u2026.wait who am I kidding, I have several amazing ideas. I need to create vision boards and actually write out business plans. Even if it doesn\u2019t launch in 2014, it will feel amazing to know I completed a comprehensive plan for future investing. #entrepreneur #smallbusiness #startup<\/p>\n
Save- I\u2019m an adult now, thus my savings account should look like it is managed by one too. Consider trying the 52 week savings challenge with me! #52weeksavings<\/p>\n
Playing- What happened to the fun girl? She\u2019s still here! She\u2019s just been hibernating since graduation. Time to enjoy my fabulous twenties! #playdetroit #weliketoparty #girlsjustwannahavefun<\/p>\n
Travel- time to make serious efforts in getting to South Africa, Barcelona or Cabo! Okay, so maybe that\u2019s a reach. But realistically, if I would like to stay true to my fifth resolution, it is time I considered putting my Honda to the test and start road tripping and seeing new places in the US! No more excuses! #travelonabudget #cheaptravel #roadtripusa<\/p>\n
Cooking- This young lady needs to improve her cooking skills. I\u2019m not ashamed at admitting I need to improve my skills. It isn\u2019t that I don\u2019t cook well. I need to cook regularly and stop eating out! #newrecipe #yummy #delish #healthyfood #localfood #valuefood #ethnicfood<\/p>\n
Coding- Navigating Office Suite isn\u2019t resume worthy anymore. It is time for me to really become an asset and finally learn how to code, digitally market, and develop a site! Grand Circus, here I come!!! #grandcircus #girlscodetoo #girlswhocode<\/p>\n
Baking- So \u2026..*DJ Scratch*..I\u2019ve never baked anything from scratch and I am thrilled to challenge myself in the art of baking. #newrecipe #cleanbaking #glutenfreebaking<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
