Happy Holidays, Looking Back, Looking Ahead, + See You in 2016 (Phew!)

It's Christmas Eve! And my last blog post of 2015! Let's celebrate: 

First, I want to say a huge HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you + your loved ones (including fur-babies, of course). I hope your season is magical and that you find the space and strength to soak up the good and let go of the not-so-good. Thank you for all of your holiday wishes and love this time of year. 

Second, I want to do a very quick year-end recap of what happened in Starr Struck-land in 2015.

{If you haven't yet done something similar, I encourage you to do so, as it's a really great way to look back at what happened in your life over the past year and remember all of your adventures, accomplishments, and excitements.}

Here are the highlights/some of the bigger things that I did in this past year:

• Launched a podcast + put out 33 episodes {Starr Struck Radio}
• Wrote + released my first eBook {How to Earn a Living Teaching Yoga}
• Taught 15 yoga workshops: 4 in DC, 11 on Cape Cod
• Co-taught 3 Branding Essentials Workshops
• Co-led 2 international yoga retreats: Costa Rica + Italy
• Designed 7 websites for solopreneurs + small business owners
• Designed 12 logos for solopreneurs + small business owners
• Hired my first Starr Struck team member {Sara!}
• Designed + sold heaps of rescue-dog inspired shirts {There are just a few Basset Hound + Dachshund tanks left!}
• Completed lots o' art commissions: 15 custom paintings, 3 custom cake toppers, + 5 family sketches

Personally, I also traveled to Peru for 10 days, we bought our first house + moved (and thus, added lots of home DIY projects to the list), traveled to TN meet a dear friend's new babe, and of course, hosted lots of houseguests...

It was an amazing year! Although looking back at this list, I can now understand why I've been feeling a little exhausted as of late ;) 

That being said, after taking a week off to recharge, here's what's happening in my world {event-wise} at the beginning of 2016, in case you want to join:

• Reflect, Release, + Restore: New Year's Day Workshop at Orleans Yoga: Friday, January 1st from 10am-12pm
• Costa Rica Art + Asana Retreat with Kimberly Wilson: February 13th-20th {Still spaces left if you want to join + we've just released a few more affordable rooming options!}
• Namaste Nantucket: An Island Yoga Retreat with Laura Whitaker: June 5th-11th {Only a few spaces left; all double rooms are sold out but there are still some singles and shared bed options--perfect for friends, sisters, or couples--available!}
  
  

  And on the blog, you can look forward to the following happening at the start of the New Year:

• Monday, January 4th: First blog post of 2016!
• Tuesday, January 5th: Starr Struck Radio returns {yay!}
• Monday, January 11th: Bobby Scott Performance training hits the blog! As discussed in SSR Episode #33, BSP will be doing custom weight training programming for me for 6 weeks, and I'll be sharing it on the blog so that you can follow-along (if you'd like to do so!). This programming will include 3 training sessions per week and will be very do-able for the yoga girl on-the-go who needs to add a little more strength training into her life {aka ME}. 

Sound good? I am SO excited for 2016 and all of the unknowns that it holds for all of us, but am equally excited about the next week of holiday festivities and time with family (Ben and I are headed to Atlanta on Saturday to spend 5 days with my fam there).

I hope you're able to be as present as possible as you celebrate and luxuriate into the New Year...

Happy happy everything! And once again, thank you for being such an important + wonderful part of my life in 2015.

Lots of love and xoxos!
