Permission to Celebrate 2021

Seems like it has been 100 years since the last time we were ringing in a New Year and yet it was just 365 days ago. This time last year I made a conscious decision to “Opt Out” of New Years and all the vision boards, goal mapping and “this gon’ be my year“, mentality.  Truth be told, I was tired lol and I was being “called” to make space in my life to begin living outside of just  checking things off of a list.

 What I didn’t know then, that I can clearly see now is I already knew what I needed for this upcoming season in my life, even before I realized I knew!  Each of us has a “calling” inside, a gut feeling, urging or even a “knowing” of what we need before we fully understand that the answer is always inside.

Now while this New Year may look different than how we imagined and honestly 2020 has been a full rollercoaster of emotions that no body and I mean NOBODY signed up for, there is still reason to press on. There are still things, places and people to celebrate.  We are still here. Still standing + in some ways thriving in uncertainty on the daily.

Looking ahead

This year I decided to attend a virtual vision board party with the focus not on lists or goals but on how I can continue to love on + nurture myself in 2021. I guess in a way you could say that is the goal. That’s the list. To love + pour into myself.

The biggest gift that we can continue to give ourselves in this moment is GRACE + continuing to make room for whatever the future holds.

2020 has been painful, raw + frustrating

2020 eye-opening, expanding + inspiring

2021 is a mystery but nothing we cant handle

Here’s to you 2021 and all the possibilities you will offer us!!

Wishing you my friend the Happiest of New Years 💓
