We’ve all been there, folks. A new year rolls around and you’re posed with the question of what you want to change or achieve. That’s why here at NOOGAtoday, we’re treating resolutions a little differently — we want to know, what are your Chattanooga-specific resolutions?
Maybe you’ve lived here your whole life but there are sights you’ve never seen, or you’re still getting used to the area and want to feel more like a local. Big or small, we want to hear them all. To get you started, we’ll go first.
Editor Haley here. I’ll be the first to admit resolutions aren’t often my strong suit, typically forgotten within the first few months of the year. There are a few things though that I’m looking forward to challenging myself in 2024.
- Get back into hiking by trying out a new trail once a month
- Finally pick up the hobbies of pottery and sewing — Scenic City Clay Arts + The Knot and Needle, I’m coming for you
- Go to more live shows at our venues
- Join a local book club
- Cook more meals with only local ingredients from a farmers market
Editor Kristen here. I’m a firm believer that resolutions can be made any time during the year, but a fresh start never hurts. Here are a few things I’d like to achieve in 2024.
- Volunteer with local organizations more often — I would love to work alongside the Tennessee Aquarium
- I’m right with Editor Haley on picking up a new hobby or skill, I plan on taking classes with The Chattery more often this year
- Add some more books to my TBR pile — especially some written by local authors
Your turn — show us the new you. You might just see them in an upcoming newsletter.
