Spring is Back and so are We

Spring is back and so are we.   We took some much needed time away to regroup and recalibrate.  For us, the spring weather changes, daylight savings time and more, signal opportunity.  January and February feel too close to December to seem like a passing of the year’s baton.  In the Brooks household we use January and February to plan and look ahead.  If you follow us on instagram (@abrooksworld), we posted some pics of our holiday gatherings.  Otherwise we used that time to connect with each other, family and friends.

Our planning process is very intentional.  First, we set goals individually because it’s important to feel happy and fulfilled in our own personal pursuits, then we set goals as a couple, which helps us discuss strategies for support and establish where our space for “quality time” is.  Finally we create a vision board.  In the past we’ve cut out images and pinned them to a cork board that hangs in our bedroom.  However, this year, we decided to go with a virtual vision board to allow us more flexibility and access.  

This year we will close out a five year plan and prepare for another.  There are career upgrades, back to school plans, and more.  Our styles have changed, we have changed, but we have also found new ways to love one another.  If you’re in any way like us, you enjoy all the inbetween of sharing a life with someone.  What is our love if not the sum of laughter shared, divided by the obstacles overcome (measured in weight, not necessarily frequency)?

April (and later March) is also the seasonal return of all our favorite shows.  Top Boy, Marriage Boot Camp, Snowfall, and more (feel free to share some of your favorite shows with us below).  

We are eager to put some sun on our face, dreams into motion and love into the universe.  Welcome back to ABrooksWorld and please share with us your goals and visions for 2022.
