Goals for 2025 for the YouTube Channel and Blog

Most people make New Year’s resolutions every year. I truly do not believe in them. Every time I have made them, all I have done is set myself up for failure. After a while, I realized I did not enjoy feeling like a failure because I didn’t have the ability to follow through on what I had set for myself. I have spent many years trying to understand why I am the way I am when it comes to this type of mindset too. (Disclaimer – some will find what I’m about to write super uncomfortable, but I have every right to write about it. So if you don’t want to read what I’m about to write about – skip the parts you don’t want to read.) Some out there will relate to it in their own way due to what they have experienced. I am a product of the environment that I grew up in, as well as the one I married into the first go-around. The things I experienced and endured were not easy, and that is why there are times when I don’t push through or follow through, or what I call procrastination.

I had been talking to a friend about how I went through the 2024 year without much of a plan for my YouTube channel. I basically winged it! It didn’t hurt the channel all that much. I had a period of summer doldrums with the channel where it seemed like it just wasn’t thriving, but instead of giving up, I continued to push on through it, and in the end, it was well worth working harder for it. So I have been working on the plan for the last two or three weeks now. Down below is an outline of what I set as goals for the channel. Be forewarned, it might seem like a lot, but this will cover all the way up to the end of the year. Now I know that there might be times when I don’t follow through. It’s the nature of who I am, but I hope I can persevere and stick with at least 70% of it. Wouldn’t it be cool if I stayed with it and accomplished what I set out to do?

My name is Katy and I have been living in South Greenland since August 2011. I was born in Charleston, South Carolina, raised in Florida, and migrated to South Greenland through marriage. I am married to an amazing Greenlandic man living 60º N - about 670 km south of the Arctic Circle. I am a master gardener of 50 years. I started my love of ornamental gardening at the young age of 11. My paternal aunt gave me my first cutting and told me how to plant it. She also showed me some simple crochet stitches and sent me home with a cutting of coleus and a crochet hook with some yarn. At eleven it was like taking home a prize. Little did I know what would happen because of that. I learned how to sew my own clothing during my teenage years and that sewing has flowed over into me learning how to be a quilt maker. I love to take photographs of everything that catches my eye. I have thousands of photos. I am in love with icebergs. I don't think I will ever tire of seeing them and taking photos of them. The Greenland landscape is magnificent and it never disappoints. I also love to crochet as well as cook. I love making up my own recipes and serving them up to my "Heart Light" for test tasting. He is such a trooper. For the most part, he loves everything I've made. I'm a summer tourist guide and love it when fellow Americans come to visit us so that I can tell them about Greenland and most of the time I always tell our story since it's so special. I have 3 adult children and 4 grandchildren. I have grown to love Greenland as much as I love my home country USA. Greenland is like no other place and I will write lots about it and share photographs as well. I also love music and movies as well and I like to read. I will also be sharing blogs about quilt-making and other subjects that I'm involved with.
