I felt the enormity of what it meant to be a mother to my girls when I felt so untethered; how guilty I felt for depending wholeheartedly on Nick to keep the spark of joy alive in our lives; and how I wanted nothing more for my mother to know that even though her guiding light had crossed over she would still be safe and loved in the midst of the terrible disease that was robbing her of her memory. Little did I know that even though it all felt so out of control, we had no idea what 2020 would bring our way. I have thought a lot about that first day of 2020 and as we are about to embark on a new year, I can’t help but reflect on all the gifts this past year has given to me. For the time. The time to TAKE a deep breath, to WATCH my girls grow with no distractions, the time it took to EXPLORE my creativity as I worked to find new and safe ways to connect with the ones that I love; the time to CELEBRATE the success of Sweet Magnolias; the time I had to REFLECT on my feelings; and the time I spent in PRAYER for those who were enduring the grief, sadness, and uncertainty that this chaotic year had brought forward. I realized that it’s possible to be heartbroken and hopeful all in the same breath. I oddly feel stronger than ever. Not tough. Just sturdy. And as I find myself looking forward I will focus on gratitude...for the things that bring me the greatest joy and the lessons learned from the darkest moments. I wish you all health, happiness, peace , and prosperity 💫」1月2日 10時27分
