My Top 20 for 2020.
- Do more things that matter not for money, but because they matter.
- Share smiles so genuinely that others can’t help but smile back.
- Hug tighter.
- Allow time each day to bask in gratitude.
- Create more. Paint more. Write more.
- Read more.
- Love myself more.
- Encourage others to love themselves more.
- Spend more time with those I love.
- Live each day as if it is the legacy I am leaving for my grandchildren.
- Embrace the wrinkles I’ve earned from a life of smiles and laughter.
- Treasure the tears of loss that wouldn’t happen if I hadn’t loved.
- Show respect for my body by eating better and moving more.
- Show respect for the earth by using less plastic and creating less trash.
- Respect myself enough to not accept disrespectful actions of others.
- Do not apologize for asking probing questions.
- Do not apologize for being a strong-willed woman.
- Speak kind words.
- Listen with an open mind and open heart.
- Cherish all the moments.
Happy New Year!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

I must say that your vision for 2020 is twenty-twenty! Might I also just say that your Top 20 should be everyone’s Top 20 intentions for the year too! It would helpful to have a visible reminder of one’s goals, so do consider adding this as a print that could be purchased on your McKinneyx2Designs shop. “You don’t think your way into a new kind of living. You live your way into a new kind of thinking.” – Henri J. M. Nouwen. Happy New Year to You and Yours! Thank-YOU!

Thank-You Ms. Liz! You know, if ever I were to venture forth into the mysterious world of blogdom I could call my blog “Gem’s Gems”. Blogdom can rest easy, there is no chance of that happening.

Happy New Year Jodi ! Great Reminder which is probably why you do these things Every day of your life. Hope you had a beautiful friends & family Christmas. Hard for me to believe I made it to 2020. Its such a “futuristic” sounding date, I don’t think I expected to be living in 2020. What a glorious life too! Fully intend to make it a fabulous year too! I’m on your bandwagon 100% . Hugs!
