Friends: Need Suggestions!

Hi again. As I mentioned in my “New Year’s Resolution,” I’m planning to connect with my friends this year much more than last. It has to be intentional and planned, or it’s not going to happen. It’s so easy to just say “let’s get together one of these days” and then one of these days never gets here. That said, I’m considering a monthly get-together; something low-key, at my house, where a handful of (maybe up to 10) friends can get together and make new memories.

I’ve heard of regular dinner parties, game nights, potluck suppers, movie nights, but I’d love to hear your thoughts. Do any of you have must-do suggestions? Let me know in the comments below - otherwise, I’m leaning on Pinterest to get me through this conundrum. #lol

Also, I found this list of ideas which seems pretty cool: 17 Party Games for Adults. What do you think?

2020: Change is in the Air

The last year has been exciting. I turned 50, got promoted at work, celebrated 20 years at my day job, hired 2 amazing people, ran a program for students with learning disabilities, was a homeroom mom, went to Canada, went to Disney World, saw both former President Obama and Oprah speak in person, jammed out at an Imagine Dragons concert, travelled around the US, saw all 3 of my sisters, performed at more than 30 events, and somehow lost real touch with many of my friends and even my family.

So… 2020 is my year to reach out to those I’ve lost touch with, make new connections, weed out the unhealthy relationships in my life, and reenergize my home and family. My goal is to have one gathering a month, so we’ll see how that goes. I’ll check in regularly and let you know.

Cheers to 2020 - wishing you and yours all the best in this new decade!

XO,

Amy
