Throughout this Christmas season, as busyness slowed down, and stillness, presence and reflection settled in, I’ve felt the warmth of gratitude permeate my entire being. 🥰
I have a tendency to focus on the past and future, and to be hard on myself. Even though this year didn’t feel as accomplished as I’d hoped, by typical standards, I realized how far I’ve come internally. 💫
I have so many plans, goals, and ideas, and I want them all accomplished yesterday! I can get frustrated when unexpected circumstances, painful experiences, and obstacles get in my way. I’m always learning that you can have the perfect plan in place, but sometimes God has another path in mind…as much as it can irk me! 😅
2021 has brought another year of lessons in patience, forgiveness, compassion, priorities, perspectives, letting go (in more ways than one), surrender, resilience, self-love, boundaries, and so much more. 🙏
I’ve realized that every horrible experience in the past brought at least one nugget of positivity and lead to upgrading my life in some capacity. It can be difficult to recognize the gift in that tumultuous moment, and it may not even become apparent until years later. Just trust me, it’s there. 🎁
It’s not always easy to work through these lessons, search for the gift in every situation, and keep faith. It’s a work in progress, but I’m slowly learning to relinquish control over how I think things *should* be, and trust God’s plan for the growth & evolution of my soul. ✨
Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year! May the transition to 2022 bring you a sense of peace, gratitude, joy and fulfillment, which lasts the whole year through. 🎊🍀🌈💐💖🙏💫💃🕺
