2020. How in the world was 1990 30 years ago?! Slip dresses, flannels, band tees, scrunchies and platform shoes have all come full circle. I love 90s trends especially velvet everything & give me all the band tees! 2020 is mixing my nostalgia with all of my hope for the future, swirled together like a bright twisty ice cream cone.

A new decade lays like a blank sheet of canvas before you. It is crisp, fresh and new. Ready for an explosion of color. A chance for a new beginning. Waiting for your to create your own reality. And in this reality you can truly be whoever you want. Which is the beautiful thing about life!

The next 10 years seem heavy with purpose for me. My kids will be 21, 19 & 16 at the end of this decade. My business will be 12. My husband and I will have been married 23 years! And while all of this information is exciting I really want to plan this next decade with purpose! I want to look back and be proud of where I’ve come and where I’m going in the future.


This is why I need to create a fact map for this year. To get clear on where I’m going and what I want to achieve. What exactly is a fact map? It’s a way to organize your thoughts and intentions. I prefer to journal mine so they don’t get lost. I would love it if you want to do one with me!

But in order to do that I need to be brutally honest with myself and be clear on where I am now. Through Garret White I learned about setting your year with Intension in body, being, balance and business in a process called the Warriors Way. You’ll write each topic and then underneath it you’ll write where you are now and to the right of it where you want to go.


Being brutally honest with myself I am majorly out of balance in all the areas except for business. Even there I am unbalanced because I am not taking my schedule seriously and I’m working on the days I have set aside for marketing. I know in my heart in order for everything flow smooth again I need to get clear with my schedule. So now even though it’s going to be hard I will sit down, go through each of these three topics and get real with myself where I’m at now. I encourage you to do the same!


Get crystal clear on where you are. Its so freeing to your soul to be brutally honest with yourself. To not write off or excuse any of your current behaviors or pattens with an excuse. Taking 100% accountability for where you are now is key for this to work. And then, to the right of each category on your map, set your goals for where you’d like to be 3 months from now that are realistic. Not in a year, not in a decade, that’s too far out. Three months. What can you do realistically in 3 months in each area that would improve your current life blocks. I feel like at different times in our life one of these areas will over take the others for a season and that’s ok! We are human. But taking the time to re balance acknowledging our flaws really does make all of the difference. 2020 I’m coming in with full intentions to become the human I want to be.


Are you? Let me know if you create a map! I would love to talk about your 3 month goals with you at your next appointment! Xoxo, Ashley
