Another great read and such a great topic for the New Year! Honestly ALL 23 Speak to me, however in 2024, I’m Definitely going to put “Me First” more 🤗. Congratulations on going back to school, my most said motto is, “I’m forever a student” because I’m always interested and down to educate myself more 🙃 Oh and yea Love is Definitely Hard, but can also be a wonderful thing 🥰 Cheers🥂 to another year of doing what “We want while accomplishing our next goals”💯

This was a great read. Your year in review was a thought for me to reflect on myself. I'm working on a few of these items that you noted as well. Saying "no" and filling my cup first is my 2024 goal to myself.

I wish you a Happy New Year and can't wait to see what's in store for 2024. Good luck on your education journey. May I ask what you're studying..

That is great Latrice. I have a PMP, and I wish the best of luck. I've often thought how incredible it would be to work as A PM in a fashion house in Paris - oh the excitement and incredible experience it could bring. Sorry, I was thinking out loud , lol.

I am so nervous about the test! Will be hibernating during winter to buckle down and study. I intend to work in luxury fashion or international education wherever the Lord orders my steps. Do you use your PMP? Also have you sent me your ig handle for close friends access?

I won't lie, the test is the hard. It is the hardest test that I've ever taken. But if you study for it, you can pass. Don't skip over stuff. If you can get to YouTube, there sre so good videos that can help break down the info as well. I absolutely love your journey. It is so refreshing to see and read. I'm changing up my circle a little. Everyone wants you to fill their cup, of which I've been doing. Then I'm tired when it's time for me and I just accept it. I've been taking french for a year now but not studying it like I should and should be much further. But this year, I will invest in myself so I can move to France and fulfill MY dreams. I was there for 4 days in Dec and it solidified my love for Paris. I haven't ventured to the suburbs yet but I know I love Paris.

I enjoyed reading this so much Latrice! Congrats on the new pivoting, I know whatever it is the game is about to elevate with you in it! I think my favorite was the I’m not for everybody, probably because everyone isn’t for me either 😂 but seriously all these gems are so true and helpful! Happy New Year doll!

Congratulations on returning back to school! That is so exciting I’m so happy for you. I also just recently started saying “no” without having the need to elaborate or make an excuse and that has been so liberating. Looking forward to seeing what 2024 has in store, Happy New Year! 🥂
