Make Your 2024 Sparkle & Shine

Pearls and Gold Add Sparkle for a Festive Table

Happy New Year 2024 to you, your loved ones, and friends! Why not make this year especially exciting with sparkle and shine!

Last year I was at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colorado, where one can visit the outside stockyard pens with all kinds of prize livestock, that represent well-known and honored family ranches in this country. I was really moved to be able to look eye to eye with these massive animals. That inspired me to write a New Year’s post, “For 2023, Look a Bull in the Eye” , meaning stretch, grow, and get out of your comfort zone. I also mention thirteen great points for making your year wonderful. It is worth revisiting this post again, and maybe on a regular basis as your year progresses. Great thoughts to carry you throughout the year.

Well, as it turns out, 2023 was a stellar year for me, and a lot of it I think, was because I teed it up with all of those magical thirteen points at the beginning of the year. I will share more about my year in future posts.

This year, keep all of those thoughts in mind as your year progresses, and add just a touch more sparkle and shine. What I mean is—do a little extra with everything in your life. Put out a little more energy towards your everyday living, goals, projects, and creative endeavors. Think about your ideal life and jot these thoughts down. Make new recipes for dinner. Walk in interesting places besides your neighborhood. Organize your closet and makeup—and then try new looks. Shop at different stores or markets. In otherwards, add some zing and your life and year will amaze you with further sparkle and shine.

Bon Appétit et Bon Weekend….Bonnie
