Thank You, 2023.

At the end of every year, there might be feelings of regret, sadness, and overwhelm that the year has gone by and I'd like to heed other's advice to reflect on the positives and wins. And many do not know that I suffer from mild depression because I hide it well. Thankful that mental health is being addressed and supported more today.

It may come across as a humble brag but I think it is a healthy practice for those who tend to think negatively, like myself. Here is what I'd like to celebrate going into the new year.

My Family

My dear husband still stands by me and loves me, regardless of my flaws.

My oldest daughter's soccer team won districts, then regionals, and made it to the State's Final Four in her division. My 2nd oldest son won breakout track athlete for his 1st year in Track & Field in Middle School and made it to NJHS during his Freshman year. My 3rd was accepted to NJHS and made the soccer team after not making the cut the year prior. My 4th child started to play soccer and thinks she can keep up with her teenage siblings. ?? And I'm thankful to my family abroad and church family who still care for and support us.

My Team

For over 10 years, JH Creative has served over 100+ clients on over 1000+ small and large projects. That would not be possible without the loyal support of my team members over the years. I am truly thankful that they show up every day to help me support small businesses.

My Clients

2022 was a rough year for me, but in 2023 JH Creative was finally able to bounce back from 2020 and doubled our revenue. We are on track to make 2024-2025 the best years yet! This would not be possible without my clients who entrust us with their brand and marketing communication needs.

10 Non-New Year Resolutions Made

I say "non" because I never made New Year's resolutions, but I did start adjusting monthly, weekly, and daily goals to be realistic.

? Celebrated JH Creative's 10th Anniversary & Ribbon Cutting with my family

? Certified JH Creative as MSBWE + completed Florida State University - Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship 's SBEP XIX Program

? Supported over 10 team members local and abroad

? 100+ Live Episodes & Interviews

? Met award-winning chefs, designers, artists, and even comedian star Jo Koy!

? Met & Learned from billionaire, multi-millionaire experts & CEOs thanks to Domi Station & Innovation Park-Tallahassee

? Published 56+ Issues for recently launched e-newsletter CityClips | North Florida

? Visited family & friends in CA in the summer

? Joined an awesome Community called "Focus Blocks" and for local women, Women Wednesdays

? Maintained weekly goal of working out 3x/wk

Those are the things that have come to mind, and I'm sure there's more. But, I'll keep it at 10.

Here's to 2024. Have An Amazing New Year!

Extremely well written. I love how this starts with gratitude (I tend to forget that in my end-of-year reflection), and the "Non" New Year's Resolutions?is a cool concept. I know you work super hard, so keep doing what you do; here's to 2024 ??
