New Year's Resolutions

The new year offers the opportunity for fresh starts and new beginnings, and like so many folks, those of us at Stevenson Ridge have made a few resolutions for the year ahead.

Debbie (Co-Owner): My resolution is to de-clutter—and I’m starting today, cleaning cupboards!

Elizabeth (Head Wedding Coordinator): I plan to focus on enjoying the little moments. Last year, I focused on fitness, and the year before that, I focused on managing my stress. I’ve been able to stay dedicated to those things, too.

Brad (Executive Chef): I plan to expand our menu offerings. I’ll be spending time in January and February cooking up some new entrées and appetizers, especially.

Casey (Sous Chef): I want to focus more on my kids and be a better dad. I try to do that already, but it’s something I always want to be better at.

Gail (Office Assistant): My resolution is to set aside more time to spend with family and friends, doing some relaxing things like having tea or coffee and catching up with people I haven’t seen in a while.

Chris (Historian-in-Residence): I’m getting back into a daily exercise routine. That sounds so cliché, I know! I miss it when I don’t work out, though, so I’m really looking forward to getting back into a regular routine.

As for me? I’m hoping to manage my time more effectively. This is always a huge challenge for me because there’s always so much going on at the Ridge, and particularly with the inn, the schedule frequently changes at the last minute. It’s also challenging because I love my job so much, so it never really feels like work—which makes it easy to get lost in what I’m doing.
