It was so fun planning our lunch, then transitioning to creating our vision boards.

We all decided to have 4 boards. I am going to focus on Personal, Career, Family and this wonderful crafting hobby. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Personal, I really want to focus on making lifestyle choices that will benefit a new healthier me. From making sure I am moving more, to eating healthier, to taking extra time to remember who I am and my worth. Luckily, my husband has joined me and we are off and running on eating healthier, and I am making small steps to valuing myself and my personal time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3533-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-199\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For my family board, one of the main things is purchasing property and building a home within the next few years. Our beautiful home has been great, but with a family of 5 we have slowly outgrown our space. In 2015 we purchased a foreclosure house and have completely flipped it, and while its beautiful, there are a lot of features we would like to adjust moving forward. I&#8217;m also looking to be more present in my kiddos lives. Learning to put the phone down, ignore those YouTube notifications and spend more 1:1 time enjoying their company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3535-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3535-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3535-1024x1365.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3535-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3535-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3535-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3535-1200x1600.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3535-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Everlee helps out, my newest crafter to the household. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>My career board will have one major theme: promotion. I have always had this drive to want to be in a managing role and that is the next step for me! I want this year to be the year it happens, so I will be focusing on how to obtain that goal, motivational quotes for leading others, and being sure to have kindness and understanding in others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3534-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3534-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3534-1024x1365.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3534-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3534-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3534-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3534-1200x1600.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.lovenotesbyjess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3534-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The last board will focus on my craft and making more of an effort of posting for this year and making sure I am engaging my audience regularly.
