With the end of 2020 just days away, this is a great time of year to reflect on all that you've accomplished and learned this year! Ruth shares her tradition of looking over the year to create lists of the year's highlights, accomplishments, lessons, themes, and a few ideas for setting goals in 2021 - it's not your typical goal setting method!

There is so much joy in this season and in the opportunities this year to look at your traditions and holiday experiences to see where you get the most enjoyment from! It's potentially an opportunity to create new traditions, and to amplify the joy of the holiday season for years to come!

Wishing you the happiest of holidays this year!
