It's the first week of January 2016 and in between breaks of checking hundreds of work emails, I've been doing some reflecting and I'm excited for what's ahead. One of my biggest highlights of 2015 was traveling to Dubai. This was my first international flight. I was one of hundreds of black millennials that took advantage of the Christmas 2015 flight deal to Dubai for less than $200. It was a great cultural experience in spite of the horrible customer service we received from the airline on the way home.  But this is just one of the many things I want to continue doing in 2016: be spontaneous and explore the unknown. I didn't do any other international trips last year so I've definitely had my eye on all of the flight deal sites for this year. In addition to traveling, I plan to focus on my career goals and begin budgeting and saving to become a homeowner. I also plan to take better care of my spiritual health. Self-care is so important. Life can get so busy and stressful that we forget to take the time out to breathe, live in the moment, and become aware of our surroundings. More meditation and rest for my soul is needed. Have you written out your goals for 2016? Be intentional and stick to it. :)
