Forget the Resolutions…

I decided to ditch the new year’s resolutions because they will in fact be forgotten. But the one thing that won’t be forgotten are God’s promises.

God's Promises

I have goals and dreams, but not resolutions. Because His promises will be fulfilled. Maybe not in 2014, maybe not in 2015, but at some point they will.

2013 was good for us, but I am also aware of the fact that it might not have been the best for everyone. Lives lost, relationships abandoned, children going down wrong paths. Paths that weren’t in “your plan.” I could go on and on. If 2013 wasn’t your best year, I am praying 2014 brings you new beginnings, and the promises that God has planned for you come to fruition.

Happy new year friends. May this be your best year yet!

xxoo,

Decorchick!

    Great perspective. I don’t do New Year’s Resolutions either…I’m more of a goals person like you. But I never thought about it from your perspective. 2013 was good for us too, even though we did have some heartaches. One thing I’m learning is that our dreams and visions look different in reality than what we imagined and that’s okay because God’s ways are higher than ours.

    Thank you for the reminder. :)

      We had struggles and heartaches too. But you are right-God’s ways are much higher than ours. Here’s to 2014 and that things are better for everyone!

This is what happens when you go to the neighborho This is what happens when you go to the neighborhood petting zoo at Christmas to see the baby goats.🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤪

2 labradoodle puppies were NOT on my 2026 vision board, but here we are.🥰

How could you NOT with these gorgeous colorings?! A red and blue Merle are so unique, and they are the sweetest!🐶🐶

It was my first time going with Randy to one of hi It was my first time going with Randy to one of his gigs. This wasn’t just any gig though. It was a very special wedding for a beautiful couple.❤️

And after witnessing firsthand what all he does for events like this, I have a new appreciation for what he does because it is a LOT.🤯

From loading in setting up three PA systems in 3 separate areas, then immediately switching gears to performance mode and playing ceremony music + sax, dinner music + MC’ing, then reception DJ’ing + sax. It was really pretty freaking mind-blowing to be honest. And then you have to tear it all down! Talk about a full day (I felt hungover the next day and I don’t even drink), but if you are in the entertainment business you get it. And he does this multiple times a month!

So many moving parts, and being flexible when you need to switch gears at the last minute, and he handles it with so much ease. That’s why he’s the professional at his craft.🫶

I was just there more as his emotional support person, but would love to do more events with him where I’m actually useful. 🤪Maybe I’ll learn to wrap up cords the right way one day to his liking, but that’s doubtful. 🤣

It was the perfect new year’s day and can’t wait to do it again!❤️

Congrats @claudine.said and @chefaustinsimmons it was a JOY witnessing your special day.

3 years without Daddy and Pawpaw💔 Does life mo 3 years without Daddy and Pawpaw💔

Does life move on? 

Yes, but not without a hazy fog lingering over you that never fully lifts.

Not without the deep ache in your heart longing for more time.

Not without reaching for your phone wanting to call or text.

Not without the family gatherings knowing someone is missing, even though no one mentions it.

Not without crying when you think of him or look at old photos.

I still cannot talk about him without tearing up. Certain songs or sayings break me.

After losing a parent, everything looks different. Time with your family begins to feel more intentional, because you want the moments to last.

The hustle feels less important, because you realize your people matter more than any dollar amount.

Grief and gratitude can coexist. It’s okay to be sad, and it’s okay to be thankful for a dad who is worth missing.❤️
