You may or may not know yet, I have decided to leave my job at Somerset FA, and will be moving back to Shropshire at the end of April. This is in a different post -but just know, it's a decision for me, by me. And I cant wait for the next chapter of my journey.
Anyway, in starting to pack up my life, I have found the letters I wrote myself in 2016 and 2017. In finding them, I've realised that even though I might not have achieved the goals within the year I wrote them, but time has enabled me to work through and past them. As these are mine, I thought I'd chuck them on here... you liked the last letter I wrote myself :)

To Sarah
In writing this and considering thoughts for the next 12 months, please don't forget to enjoy and be present. Here are your big hitter for the next 12:
-Learn to slow down
-Make the most of the opportunity in front of you.
-Really represent FA Youth Council on the biggest and smallest stages.
-Find some form of purpose.
-Stay true, don't get lost, ask for directions.
-To move on from Somerset FA, into a role which fuels your life. Find something which makes you come alive most days, not on the odd day.
-Figure a way to believe in you. Wear it. Don't keep it in your backpack.
Take your zoo with you. Be sure to open it.
Catch you at your best.

My 2018/19 letter is securely enveloped and in the hands of Amber, as I have her letter ensuring we don't cheat and also commit to ourselves and each other. I don't know where I'll be when I open that next one, and that is a thought which excites me a lot.
