If you have a few minutes on this New Year’s Eve, please read this beautiful poem by writer, Donna Ashworth. I wish you love, peace, self-compassion and self-acceptance over the year ahead. Happy New Year to you and yours🙌
Big love for my family, friends and all the beautiful women I have the honour of working with. I’m so blessed to have you in my life🌟

On the stroke of midnight tonight,
you can resolve to be better, if you like…
to be fitter,
to eat cleaner,
to work harder.
On the stroke of midnight tonight,
you can resolve to become a whole new you,
if you so choose.
Or, you can take a moment to acknowledge
what you already are.
Because it’s a lot.
You are a lot.
And you deserve to be truly seen.
On the stroke of midnight tonight,
perhaps you could congratulate yourself for coping.
For breaking, again,
for rebuilding, again.
For catching the stones life has thrown at you,
and using them to build your castle
that little bit more beautifully.
And if you have used those stones to block yourself in for the ‘heal’, perhaps you can realign them this year. Make a grander gate, not a higher wall.
You have endured, my friend.
Through times you thought unendurable.
You did.
And I don’t see the need to resolve
to become a whole new you,
when you are already so very much indeed.
Happy new year.
You made it.
Now let us face another 365 day-turn together,
arms wide…
accepting, embracing and ‘seeing’ one other,
for all we truly are…
breaks and all.
~Donna Ashworth
