Hello fellow adventurers. I’m recording reporting in from my closet. today. If you’re new here, hi, welcome. Thank you for being here. If you’ve been here for a little while, you understand why I’m in my closet. But when I listened to a little bit of last week’s show, it actually sounded better. So I’m feeling like maybe the closet is the place to do this thing. So I’m excited. I’m excited because it’s about to be 2021. And not because 2020 was like this dumpster fire that everybody talks about. But mostly just because I love fresh starts. I love Mondays, I Love New beginnings. I Love New Years. I love all of that. And so I’m excited to share with you today I thought I could share a little bit about my process. And what I think about and what I do and what I did this year, for sort of my like recap of the year and moving forward. Now, there are some years where I don’t do hardly anything. And then there’s some years where I spend days planning and diving in and journaling and thinking about things. So this year was sort of like an in between. So if you’ve been here for a while, you know that I have been moving and finally closed on my home today. And so I no longer am a homeowner homeowner, which I know homeownership is like something a lot of people like really strive for, and I think it’s awesome, but I have owned a home, almost non stop since I was 24 years old, I bought my first townhouse in Washington, DC when I was 24. And I’ve only had like small gaps where I haven’t owned a home. So it feels really good to not have to worry about maintaining anything doing anything, I can just focus on the places where I feel like will bring me the most joy, and will create the biggest impact instead of you know, maintaining of the house and thinking about, you know, I was saying to my daughter today, you know, our microwave at the new place. It broke Well, it, I guess it broke it didn’t work when we moved in. And I was saying to her, it was so awesome. Because I just called downstairs and they just sent somebody up and they fixed it. It’s not the fixing it. It’s not the having the person come to the house, it’s not the paying for it. It’s the finding out who I’m supposed to call that is the level of adult that just always seemed really hard for me. So anyway, it’s feels really good. So this year, I have done, I’ve done some planning, it was much more intuitive this year. So I’m going to share with you what I do a little bit of what I added in this year, and then a card spread that I did that I really loved. And actually my husband and I did it together. And it was really, really fun. So Alright, so let’s dive in. So this isn’t like some scientific thing. This is mostly like, just how I look at things. And you can take parts of this or none of this or all of it, whatever you like. So liquid any time that we’re setting up new things for the future,
