We love new year resolutions! They are are such a great way to embrace fresh starts but if we are being honest, many of our resolutions are not really sustainable. We tend to keep adding new resolutions to the ones we haven’t even practiced from the previous year.
There is power in simplicity and making sure the goals we set for ourselves are realistic, specific and attainable. Most importantly, it is important to be able to go back to hold goals and habits and do a clean up instead of constantly adding.
Years ago at Haiti Design Co, we started the new year tradition called “Kenbe, Lage” (Hold on, Let Go) where the team gets vocal about what they want to leave in the previous year and what they want to take with them in the new year.
This year was no different. We made sure our staff took the time to vocalize what they wanted to leave behind and what they are looking forward to for 2022.
No need to say it has been quite a challenging year for us and now more than ever, we need to keep our hope and faith up. We want to encourage you to do the same. No matter where you live or your circumstances, remember that as long as there is life, there is hope and things to look forward to and let go off.
Here are some of our artisan’s resolutions for 2022
Mwen vle kite selibatè pou 2021. Mwen vle kite tout move panse negatif yo ki te konn fè mwen pè pou mwen avanse. Nan ane 2022 a, menaj men avèm ap pran dispozisyon pou nou prepare maryaj nou
I want to leave all of the negative thoughts that used to keep me stuck. I also want to leave the single life behind. In 2022, my boyfriend and I are taking action to plan our wedding

Pou 2021, map kite epav, paresès. Sa yo Konn fè mwen pa verman ekonomize kòb mwen. An 2022 map kenbe disiplin pou mwen kapab travay pi byen epi pou mwen kapab fè ekonomi
In 2021, I leave laziness and procrastination. Because of these I often don’t make proper money savings. In 2022 I am keeping a spirit of discipline in order to work better and also save my money.
