It’s a new year, a new day, and a new 30-day yoga challenge by Yoga With Adriene is here. I’ve tried to complete Adriene’s challenges several times over the years but last year was my first time actually succeeding. Blogging about it each day REALY helped me hold myself accountable, so we’re doing that again. Welcome to the new challenge, y’all! (I’m amped.) Oh, I got a little crafty and created several graphics to accompany the posts — juu liiike it? The illustration is based off of lerarelart’s on 123rf.com.

This weekend came and went by so fast. This entire month did, actually. It’s the last full week of January, my last full-time week of work, and I’m ready to get started working. I mean, I’ve been working all month but I feel like this month has been all about onboarding and staying on top of/getting in the swing of things. This week, I’m going to write up and share my plans for my work responsibilities. I’m eager to have a positive impact, so I really hope things work out. I’m aiming to have a good bulk of my work done by the end of August, which is when my appointment ends. (I really appreciate that I have that deadline to work toward.)
