The older I get (hey, I’m still celebrating the anniversary of my 29th birthday, okay?), the more I’ve gotten into writing a list of goals for the new year.
Earlier this year, the podcast team I’m a member of decided to do a virtual vision board party (shouts out to Anastasia and the co-hosts of the C.R.A.V.E. Podcast on YouTube!). But first…we procrastinated LOL. We finally did it on April 1st – no April Fool’s joke! I did mine as a screensaver for my phone. It has been so helpful to look at it every single day and remind myself of what I set out to accomplish! I did indeed accomplish 3 of those goals:
- I finished reading the Old Testament of the Bible.
- I took on comedy gigs.
- I focused on growing my YouTube channel and thanks be to God, I went from a little over 100 subscribers to 1,020 subscribers as of today! Thanks to everyone who joined the Clarisma Jones band wagon this year!

The “word from God for the year” that was shared by my pastor at church today was “Watch what I do next.” Whew! God is always up to something whether we like it or not. While I wait to see what He does, I decided to publicly post my goals for 2024 here with all of you.
- Pay off debt
- Beef up my emergency fund
- Get into the best shape I’ve ever been in in my life
- Go with my bestie to watch a sport live that we’ve never before seen live
- Travel to one new country with my bestie
- Travel to one new country alone
- Finish my book draft
- Do something sweet for one older person and one friend each month
- Visit my family at least 4 times
- Try something I’ve never done before- take a class
- Read through the New Testament (I’ve read it before but I want to really dive into it this year)
Let’s see what God does in and through me! What are your goals for 2024?
Happy New Year!
