New Year- New You- Err?! Not so much- well, not yet at least …Happy New Year! I know I’m kind of late. Here we are, well into the second week of 2021, and it just feels like an extension of 2020! While I didn’t expect things to miraculously change from day to night, I certainly felt a lack of motivation and a little defeated. I don’t know. I guess I was hoping to be more uplifted and inspired, but I know this happens, and we need to learn to trust the process.
Lately, I’ve felt stuck. You know that feeling like you can’t move forward, can’t move back, but you’re just going through the notions? That’s where I was. I couldn’t even get myself to write. Nonetheless, I made it. I’m here!
I know sometimes the universe has its way of making you slow down to experience life; otherwise, you might miss it. And that’s precisely what this was. Every day despite how I woke up feeling, I would try and express my gratitude by thinking of things I was grateful for (big and small), and ultimately that made the difference between the day I was about to have and the kind of day I wanted to have.
During the last month, I celebrated my son’s first birthday. Though it wasn’t a big traditional birthday party where all of our family and friends would have attended. We held a small gathering (following guidelines, of course) of our closest family to celebrate our boy & celebrate the journey that is parenthood and raising children. After all, It does take a village, and it’s important to celebrate those that are apart of that village.
I’m so overly grateful to have had the year we’ve had (appreciating the good and bad that came with it). Though it came with many ups and downs, I’m still very thankful to be here and to be able to experience this life with my family and loved ones.
I hope that despite the stressful start to 2021, we’re all able to move forward in a more progressive, powerful, & positive way. My hopes are for each of us to overcome our fears and sorrows, to continue to heal, learn, and outgrow our past experiences for a happier, healthier tomorrow.
Sending you all some much-needed love, light & positive vibes always!
