> > Soulful Saturday 6.0 - Weeks #1-52: celebrate
Last year, I wrote a post similar to this one — finding grace in the 365 days that passed, creating a gentleness because I still haven’t finished the Soulful Saturday posts from year 4, deciding this year was filled with lessons that forced me to pay attention.
Throughout this year, I’ve saved thoughts, without context… likely because subconsciously I knew I’d need them later. One said, “What’s at stake?” And it seems fitting because this year was packed with more vulnerability than anticipated, internal arguments about the level of my self care, and external events that challenged my world view.
So when I reflect about one of the hardest years yet, I’m flooded with gratitude for the humans who showed up and stayed, the recalibration of my internal compass, the knowingness in this spiritual upgrade. Because all of this, through the tears and the sleepless nights, generates the next iteration of breathing life into what matters. And that is beautiful.
