* What New Year's Resolution did you set for yourself?
To keep trying in all that I do! Be brave and it's okay to sit on something and think or over think about it for a little while, but take action too! Find more job stability to be able to help save up for hopefully moving and a new car since ours is circiling the drain.

* What are you Most looking forward to this year?
I'm hoping I can make a visit back to Missouri and see my best friends and beloved ponies!
I really do miss seeing them in person and my soul needs to bury itself in Jasper's crazy cloud mane!

* What are you Least looking forward to this year?
Me struggling with my anxiety and the unknown of what future eye doctor visits may hold.

* Any HP goals you hope to achieve this year?
If so, what are they?
Continuing on with my American Saddlebreds and stashing away as much HPD as I can for my Gen 30 project! :D

* What was one positive memory for you that happened during 2021?
Back in March my best friend came out to visit for a week and we got to go hiking in the mountains close by!
It was a lot of fun and oddly warm out but there was still snow covering the ground, haha! We also found giant pinecones that were bigger than my head!

* What New Year's Resolution did you set for yourself?

To be more open and willing with/towards others! Introverted with social anxiety has me wanting to not do anything with anyone and these last couple of years since I've gotten my own home, especially last year, I've been becoming a sort of a recluse.

* What are you Most looking forward to this year?

Nothing extraordinary, but I'd like to pick up a new hobby or two or pick an old hobby back up for a second chance. I've also been looking into getting an art tablet! recommendations, anyone? maybe I can finally contribute to the hp economy heheh

The impending anxiety attacks that come with putting myself out there lol

* Any HP goals you hope to achieve this year?
If so, what are they?

Becoming breed ambassador for my two main breeds!

My nephews stealing their parents phones to leave A TON of voice messages for me throughout the entire year 

HPD please!

* What New Year's Resolution did you set for yourself? I don't do resolutions often. I do have goals to make it through my next semester with an A and also get through my next huge work project alive over the course of the summer. I set small goals, anything too big and I just loose track of all the small steps to get there.

* What are you Most looking forward to this year? A lot, I have been picking up my camera more. Getting my computer fixed (Don't buy from Dell guys - save yourself the annoyances). Vacation with the family. Hopefully more hikes. Oddly enough adventures with my new guild on WoW (especially with the new patch coming up).

* What are you Least looking forward to this year? Watching my mother's health deteriate further.

* Any HP goals you hope to achieve this year? To cut back more on personal breeds and partnering more.

If so, what are they?
* What was one positive memory for you that happened during 2021? I got to meet up with not one, but two of my online friends in person. One of which is on HP - the other is not, but they are one of my best friends. Both trips were super positive and make me smile any time I think of them.

* What New Year's Resolution did you set for yourself?

In real life, my husband and I are trying to be more financially responsible. In the next three years, I want to be able to buy a nicer house, in a nicer neighborhood. So that means making changes now to make our dream happen. So saving money, looking into good credit cards, improving our credit scores, maybe moving to a credit union instead of our bank... 

* What are you Most looking forward to this year?

My oldest getting vaccinated after he turns 5! It's a huge stress for me, and I'll feel a lot better. Just leaves me the baby to stress over all the time. :P

I must say, though, a close second is the Hamilton tickets I have for next month. Like. You don't even understand. 

* What are you Least looking forward to this year?

My husband is trying to get a promotion at work. But that will mean a lot of stress for him, and I have to keep things going at home. It'll be good in the long-run if he gets it, but the longer hours I'm anticipating will be less than fun.

* Any HP goals you hope to achieve this year?

Kind of? lol

If so, what are they?

I want to cut back on how much time I spend on HP, so that this summer when my oldest is out of school, I can really spend time with my kids. Now that my youngest can walk, I think the summer really opens up for us. Otherwise, maintaining my lines. I don't have anything crazy planned, just keeping things going as-is.

* What was one positive memory for you that happened during 2021?

I had my baby! He'll be 11 months old tomorrow. This year has really flown by!

Honestly, the last couple of years have involved a lot of illness and a lot of heartache and loss. I did however start my degree in Veterinary Physiotherapy which is equal parts exciting and nerve-wracking.

Points to https://horsephenomena.com/horses.php?id=358811 please! Thank you :)

* What New Year's Resolution did you set for yourself?
I never set myself any resolutions. Not for the fear of not succeeding in them but because I almost feel like it sets a limit. That once that is achieved that is it for the year. I want a year of growth and positivity of myself and my life.

* What are you Most looking forward to this year?

I am looking forward to getting to show this year in NCHA shows.

* What are you Least looking forward to this year?

I really want to get out of debt but there's a lot that plays into that situation.  And I am sure I really won't make any headway on it again this year which is really saddening.

* Any HP goals you hope to achieve this year?
If so, what are they? 
I really would like Mirco to make it onto the all time dog ranking. I don't think it will happen at the rate we are going now. I need more money and dog tickets, lol.

To be there for the birth of my niece. She is so special to me ♥?

* What New Year's Resolution did you set for yourself?

To start eating healthier again. I was put on a restrictive diet to help control my skin breakouts, and I felt amazing when I started eating properly. So much energy, and a lot happier overall mentally, as well. Welp I fell off the wagon... like... hard. This year I'm going to make better food-based decisions.

* What are you Most looking forward to this year?

My son being able to go back to school properly. It was his first year last year, and he had so many stops and starts with school closing and online learning etc. The Victorian government says that this year will be different, that the lockdowns won't happen anymore, and that the kids won't have as many interruptions. Poor kid just wants to go to school and be with his friends!

* What are you Least looking forward to this year?

The amount of University work I have to. For some silly reason, I decided to do a double degree (it was a great idea at the time, but the reality is starting to sink in now. I have SO MUCH work to do). My motivation has been in a hole the past few months, so it's going to take a lot of mental discipline to really knuckle down and start making it a priority.

* Any HP goals you hope to achieve this year?

I'm hoping to finish the year with a solid Vizsla lineage. I'm going to be condensing all my other accounts and really making them my focus. Ultimately, I would like to achieve a solid team of 10ish dogs, with 3-5mill points.

* What was one positive memory for you that happened during 2021?

I got to see my family for Christmas. Due to Covid, and border restrictions (I live interstate), I hadn't seen them from nearly 18 months. Lots of tears all round when my Mum finally got to squeeze her grandson tight!

$2mill HPD please! < 3

* What New Year's Resolution did you set for yourself?

To eat healthier again, I had finished a New Years Resolution in 2020 where I ate healthier and lost 50lbs, then in 2021 I gained 20lbs back, so now I want to go back on track with how I ate in 2020.  

* What are you Most looking forward to this year?

I'm really pushing myself to continue with my new business!  I'm going to start selling animal/agriculture stickers, along with selling digital paintings.  

I also, have an appointment in March that I'm excited about at a Headache Center.  I'd like to find a way to battle my Migraines a little better.

* What are you Least looking forward to this year?

Paying bills :P  And another year of my anxiety through the roof hoping I don't get Covid.

* Any HP goals you hope to achieve this year?

* What New Year's Resolution did you set for yourself?  My husband and I are working on eating healthier and losing weight - we really want to be able to have a baby. We've been trying for two years now, and are battling infertility. Here's hoping to a healthier year either way!

* What are you Most looking forward to this year? I was hoping to get back to a more "normal" life after COVID, but the way this year is starting out, it doesn't seem like that will happen. It's been a rough start to the New Year - I suppose I am looking forward to summer and warmer weather. We really enjoy going to the local Renaissance Fair so I'm hoping to do that. I also really want to see Bon Jovi in concert this year!
