2023 Goals and Word Recap: Best Year Yet!

[@ilylove1]

Im so glad you had a wonderful year, Blair! You seem very fulfilled with life. I had a transformative end of 2023 myself. In May, I went through a terrible breakup. With someone who I just KNEW was going to be my husband. When you know you know, and I knew. But turned out I was wrong. He broke up with me very suddenly when things were going really well. I.was.heartbroken. After that, I told myself I couldn’t let my life just crumble. So I joined a new gym, I joined a book club, I started going to a new church, and I started a Tik Tok about being a reading specialist (my job) and grew it to over 1K. And turns out, I’m at one of the happiest points I have been in my life. I had to lean in and trust God like never before, and I’ve gotten my joy and peace back in a way that I didn’t have before. It’s still a journey because I do feel like some of the things I thought I would have by now were kind of halted (engagement, marriage, growing a family). But I’m still hopeful for 2024 🎉

Rest in sweet peace with the Lord, Meredith. Thank you for all you’ve given to so many people. Inspiring Blair’s viewers who would’ve never known of you, otherwise. Spreading your love and light through those who knew of your time here on Earth. Love you Blair. Feeling so glad in my heart with how blessed you’ve been this past year! Thank you for your hard work and your courage to share your life with us. Happy New Year 🥰🥳♥️

Blair, I am so happy for you and your family that your 2023 was so full and joyful. I truly enjoy being alongside you all (virtually) as you walk through life and share. I am so grateful for the peace and joy you put out into the world by being so open and honest while sharing your journey. I don’t know if you see it or have ever thought of it as a missionary experience, but I certainly feel it acts upon me as one. Thank you for being you and for sharing. I can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store! ❤

2023 was the year of getting my chronic illness in a better place. Also was the year I moved into my own house alone + figured out it’s okay to do what I want to do. Sadly it ended with my best friend losing her mom (and her dad passed away 2 years ago) so I also am in the mindset of time is limited and to do what makes you joyful. It’s been a true joy to watch you grow this year Blair!

Unfortunately, 2023 was definitely the worst year of my life. However, God has shown me grace and strength to get through. Your videos and others that I follow, definitely have helped cheer up my long days. This video definitely gives encouragement to keep pressing on and to stay motivated and positive. It’s been exciting watching you get settled into your dream home, and the Disney videos have been so enjoyable. May you have another blessed year! 😊

I was literally brought to tears so many times watching this video 🥹 I am so happy for you, Blair! To think of all that has happened from Rooted to now✨ Your journey has been one of great inspiration and light when navigating hard seasons. It goes to show just how great God is and how much that “rainbow at the end of the tunnel” is far more beautiful than you could ever imagine!🩵 May 2024 be filled with an abundance of gutsy greatness!

The other day my Significant other and I celebrated our 9.5 year anniversary by going out to dinner and the people at the restaurant asked if we were celebrating anything and we told them and I think they kind of felt it was silly for us to be celebrating that but a few days after that I was reminded of your word "celebrate" and the meaning behind it and I told my Significant other, you know I think they kind of thought it was silly for us to be celebrating that but if you only celebrate once a year I mean who's to say you're going to make it to the next year to even celebrate so we should celebrate the little things.

Wow, 68k!! I'm SO happy for you and can't wait to see this channel grow. This video definitely made me tear up when you started talking about your cousin. My son's death has made me realize you just never know when you're time is up. So many things are second guessed once something sudden and tragic happens that way. I hope this year is even better than the last for you❤❤

Congratulations on accomplishing so many goals! That must feel fantastic! So inspiring for me. ❤

[@jadielessa9858]

I really love the way you plan your goals and word for the year! I find it so realistic and achievable, I really want to learn how to set my intentions like that! Would love a video of you talking a little bit more about!

[@nettesmith9278]

2022 ended on such a painful note for you and your family,🎉 I am so glad that 2023 was such an amazing year!! Best wishes in 2024!!! ❤

[@isabelrivera6891]

I loved this video! I’m going to put my goals in my bathroom so I can see them! I’ve been here since your “rooted” year and watching your channel grow has been amazing 🎉

[@morningsidewithkelley]

Beautiful words at the end reflecting on your word!

God bless you.

Do you have any tips on how to stay on track? I feel like I'm super excited now, but in a month or so I'll forget. I have trouble staying in my planner all year, etc...

Where are your candles in the background on the dresser from?

Question...are audio books actual books?

[@ilylove1]

Yes! It’s the actual book, just read aloud. I don’t count movies as books 😂
