Res·o·lu·tion
/,rezǝ’looSH(ǝ)n/
A firm decision to do or not to do something.
Most people's January to-do lists mention the idea of a New Year's Resolution. They might work hard on these ideas throughout the year, meet some, change some, or just put them off for the following year's list. This word "resolution", however, is so set on the idea of being able to firmly commit to something and for that idea to then just magically come true. We all want that "law of attraction" to be real, but there's more to it than just that. By this point in the year, most people have come to this conclusion already. We need to work on our goals with a plan of action in place and the proper support systems helping us out. We have many magical ideas that we're always dreaming up, but their ability to actualize depends on so many factors, such that perhaps they fall into a category of their own; a bucket-list of sorts. At the end of 2018, one of the activities The Princess Shop volunteer team went through was drafting up a bucket-list of our own:
Heidi's Bucket List:
- Broad awareness about The Princess Shop - it's more than just a dress. It's true! Our Next Chapter and Fairy Godmother programs offer so many life-changing opportunities!
- Every graduate should know The Princess Shop is an option and that they don’t need to struggle alone.
- The Fairy Godmother Program could gain more matches that sustain into the future.
- There should be more applicants to all scholarship opportunities as well as a greater variety of scholarships to give out!
- The Princess Shop should have a larger volunteer team.
Bailey:
- Recruit a full team of volunteers by April.
- Record the number of graduates every year.
- Have more rural graduates in the program.
Sarah:
- Have more graduates than in 2018.
- Fill all volunteer positions.
- Reach goals for the 12th Annual Glass Slipper Benefit for Princesses.
- Dream up and organize more fundraising events with a greater turnout.
- Have volunteers put in more cumulative hours.
These goals of ours may not be met just by us wishing them into existence, but with continuous action, we hope to see them born into reality. On top of these ideas and our plans, we have a wonderful support system that acts as the final piece of the puzzle working towards The Princess Shop's success - that's you! This all happens because of the people upholding a commitment to this journey with us; volunteers, sponsors, alumni, and everyone working hard for The Princess Shop's success creates an environment of growth and constant improvement. These thoughts are echoed in the volunteers’ bucket-list wishes when they recognize the need for more volunteers and funds - essentially, the need for even more assistance. Many hands indeed make light work and the greater our community, the better!
It is with these goals in mind and with gratitude for the support we receive in our hearts that we move forward into this year. We hope to create some magical memories this year.
