Dear 2021....

Goodbye 2021,

I know that for the past few years we’ve all been in a crazy mix of feelings and emotions because of what has seemed like a revolving door of loss, misfortune and anxiety. There has been a tremendous amount of uncertainty. Through it all, there have been moments of great joy, peace and fulfillment for me. Coming off the heels of 2020 (the most productive year I’ve had so far in my life), I was excited about all of the new opportunities 2021 would bring. I wanted to work harder at my business, connect with my loved ones more, pour into my friendships and relationships more….you know...all the things. I did most of what I set out to do. In a way, life sifted me this year. I saw the areas of growth. Situations that may have resulted in me becoming frazzled and losing my footing actually catapulted me into becoming so much stronger than I knew I was. All in all, 2021 was a mix of so many things.

The biggest takeaway from this year is to love yourself. Loving yourself is not always the easiest thing to. Self-love can look like going to therapy, trying new things or setting boundaries. The possibilities are endless. It is different for everyone. One thing I know is that when you love yourself, things begin to fall in line. You naturally do what feels right for you. You make careful decisions, you practice self-discipline and consistency. Loving yourself reflects on everything around you. Self-love also helps you to treat others with love and respect. A beautiful cycle of life that makes it fulfilling and enjoyable!

I am excited for the upcoming year and I am looking forward to great things!

Thanks for reading!

Lo
