2024:The Year of the Lion🦁
Every January, I focus on a word or phrase as my intention for the upcoming year. Last year's was 'self discovery'. With that brought many lessons; as equally meaningful as they were painful. Some of my most valuable lessons were:
🏵The only thing I'm really in control of is myself + my own actions
🏵Accept people as they are-when someone shows their true colors, believe them the first time
🏵Trust that gut feeling
🏵Sometimes the family that we make are the one's that get us through
🏵Choose distance over disrespect and authenticity over people pleasing
🏵Although I'm no stranger to grief and loss, witnessing Doob's decline from cancer was the most painful, yet eye opening experience. I almost believed he was invincible, as we often do. Life is a truly a gift. Don't wait until tommorow. Start today.
This year, it only seems appropriate to honor and pay tribute to Doob's inner lion. Serendipitously, the correspondences associated with this animal are exactly what I need to focus on this year-Courage, abundance, family, community and the strength to reclaim my power. Here's to unleashing my inner lion and rising from the ashes; both stronger and fiercer than before. This year's for you, Doober Lion❤🔥🦁❤🔥
