I hope to finally finish my PhD.
I’m hoping to re-enter the workforce at some point this year. I’ve been a stay-at-home parent last four years to be with my kids.
A settled life, not much drama at all, settling into my new little rental house, family doing well, getting a garden growing, feeling healthy and rested, returning to walking and bike riding, returning to writing and cooking and canning and sewing. In short, I want want some people might call a boring life. I will call it peace.
I would also be quite happy with peace on earth, or at least general politeness.
I’m hoping to better deal with my stress and send quality time with my family.
I hope for less work and more time spent with friends and family.
Really, above all else, in 2019, I’m looking for someone to love and who will love me back, in all my ace, geeky, OCD splendor. :). Wish me luck in the dating trenches!
I’m trying to get back into the working game after a few years off due to an illness. My biggest wish is for a job that fits and I can enjoy doing.
I loved my old job before I couldn’t work anymore. It was perfect for me and it was that stereotypical ‘it doesn’t feel like work if you love it.’ I worry I will never find one I love again, so maybe I should just hope for one I don’t dread.
I’m BethRose . I would like this year to be one of stepping into my strengths. I look forward to becoming healthier in both the physical and emotional realms. And ,of course, to read more and enjoy what I read !
i hope to spend more time developing friendships and also read more. those two dont go together that well, but i’m sure i’ll figure it out.
My hope for 2019 is to declutter and get rid of things I don’t need or use anymore. I want to start getting rid of excess stuff in hopes of moving in the next year or two and buying a new home.
My hope is to make some important professional steps and find a good balance with creative and leisure time.
I just want an easier here than this one because 2018 really kicked my butt.
An old friend of mine passed away the weekend before Thanksgiving. I hadn’t had a chance to see her in the last year of her life because I was busy between work and school, and I deeply regret that I didn’t make time for her. In 2019, I am determined not to let that happen again. My hope is to spend more time with friends, even if it means not working quite so much or spending a little less time obsessing over what perfect phrase to put in an essay.
A much better paying career position and a move.
More time with my Dad. He stopped his chemo on Friday, so every day we have with him now is a treasure.
I hope that 2019 is better than 2018 (in so many ways).
My hope for 2019 is for a healthy baby. I’m pregnant with my first, so this is quite the unknown. Looking forward well past 2019, I’m hopeful she becomes a badass feminist.
In 2019, I hope for better health for my whole family and more time to enjoy my kids. Thank you for holding these fabulous giveaways!
I’m establishing a monthly dinner night to get more time with my family and make lots of memories in 2019.
In 2019, I would like to magically be more organized.
For me: to stop pretending everything is fine when it’s not.
For my kids: to make the world cleaner and kinder, one action at a time.
For the world: leaders who show respect and kindness.
My biggest hope for 2019 is continued health for my family, friends, and myself. My other hope, is that DJT GsTFO of the White House.
Great, great bag! Thanks so much for the giveaway. Happy Hanukkah!
My hope for 2019 is to keep growing emotionally and professionally. Also to buy a house!
I also want to be able to release some worries, which are not good for me to focus on. What will be will be, I just have to be the best person I can be, and sometimes I can’t control everything!
Happiness and success for my family.
I’m just hoping for a better year all around. This year was hard and sad and I did not care for it. Surely anything will be an improvement….
My goal is to read more books about and written by people of color. 🙂
I suppose I can say my goal is to take care of myself a bit better, learn to manage stress and all that, but then again, I also just want to finish more knitting projects. Maybe that’s all part of the same goal?
