For 2018, I have made an agreement that basically only asksĀ me to trust and agree with myself. That has been the hardest lesson to learn so here are my 25 resolutions:
- Only allow people who are supportive of you into your space. People who build you up. Friends who want you to succeed, and who are rooting for you. Find your own cheerleading team.
- Stand up. Stand up for yourself, stand up for issues, stand up for your right to be heard.
- Cut off anyone you see fit. This is actually a tricky one, but it is vital and necessary for your progress. The moment you see red flags, act on them. Like Maya Angelou said: āWhen people show you who they are, believe themā.
- Uphold transparency. Why? If youāre someone who has nothing to hide, hide nothing.
- Love yourself. Honor yourself. Know your worth and know that every single person who comes at you in an attempt to shut down your projects, dreams, and mission in life, cannot be permitted into your world. Find alliance.
- Stand strong in your virtue. Your belief in good will be tested far more often than you think.
- Stay tough and uphold your beliefs. Do not let anyone invalidate your boundaries.
- Be fearless. In other words, do the right thingĀ at times when no one else is doing it.
- Donāt bend. Remember this, as you will be tempted to cave in.
- Dance to Sinatra
- Ice Skate in New York
- Throw a question at President Trump
- Uphold integrity. Every day.
- Donāt let your guard down in Washington D.C.

- Lounge by the pool without checking for updates from POTUS
- Make the world just a little better each day
- Write a love poem
- Write a book
- Believe
- Stand up or shut up
