If you want a simple, meaningful way to think about the year ahead on your own, with friends, or with your partner try this. It's called Goal Bingo. It’s not about big resolutions or reinventing yourself. How it works: 1. Draw a 3×3 grid (9 squares). Or you can make a copy of the one I created here 2. In each square, write a specific, measurable goal for the coming year. 3. Your goals can cover different areas: - Health - Work - Money - Relationships - Learning - Rest - Play Think actions, not identities. Think what you’ll do, not who you’ll magically become. Afterwards or with others take notice: - Which goals feel energizing vs heavy - How different people define “success” - Where support or accountability might help Good questions to ask: - “Which square feels easiest to start?” - “Which one will need help or structure?” - “What would make this goal more doable?” This isn’t about pressure or perfection it's about choosing a few clear experiments for the year ahead and learning more about yourself and the people you’re building life with.

Lately, I’ve been noticing a quiet shift..not dramatic, not urgent.. just a growing awareness that certain patterns no longer fit the person I’m becoming. People pleasing.Comparison.Perfectionism disguised as “high standards. Waiting until I feel ready before starting. For a long time, these habits felt protective. They helped me belong. They helped me stay safe. They helped me feel “enough.” But over time, they started costing more than they gave. This coffee-time reflection isn’t about fixing yourself or pushing harder. It's about noticing what you might be outgrowing and giving yourself permission to let it go. Not all growth looks like adding something new. Sometimes growth looks like setting something down. If you’re in a season where motivation feels different, or old strategies aren’t working the way they used to, you’re not broken. You might just be changing. What are you letting go of ?
