I usually go into a new year full steam ahead with excitement for all the possibilities in the wake. But this year I felt like taking my time to simply notice and appreciate the gifts of life that are already in front of me.
.
2017 was an incredible year in many ways. I met some amazing new souls, shared the best of life with loved ones, traveled to beautiful places and had the honor to participate in a few creative projects that ignited new discoveries & passions. 2017 was also a grueling and exhausting year. There were health scares, deep hurts and disappointments. I saw a peek of the dark side in social media, that bullies can thrive where there is a screen and that not everyone who extends kindness has good intentions. It was a year of many lessons and new experiences. I can say that I am grateful for all of it because it served as a catalyst to make me look into my heart and life and where I needed to evolve and grow too.
.
I also learned that unplugging is vital and essential for overall health and relationships. I learned that comparison is a thief of joy and what we see in these online glimpses & elsewhere do not dictate a lack of quality or value in our own lives or even within ourselves. I learned that kindness, even if it means saying nothing at all, is always a good idea and you will likely never regret extending it. I learned there is something to be grateful for no matter what is happening. And that sometimes our greatest disappointments are the very gifts that set us free from where we might have been stuck or believed an untruth about who we are. There is beauty in the mud, in the tattered & stained, in the heartache & mire. And that is also where the most beautiful and vibrant blooms emerge from. Here’s to the most flourishing gardens within each of us springing forth in 2018.
