Happy 2020! Happy new decade!

Wow! The decade is coming to a close. The 2010s were interesting to say the least. Personally, I learned a lot about myself this decade, which brings me to the topic of growth. Every trip around the sun is a chance to grow emotionally, mentally, and physically. Growth is terrifying! It means abandoning all of your bad habits to make room for better ones. It means unpacking the past and leaving it at the door. It means looking AT your mistakes instead of looking PAST them. It means being uncomfortable with settling. It means holding yourself accountable while not punishing yourself for your mistakes and shortcomings. Growth means change. Change means confronting the idea of treading new and unknown territory. It takes a wealth of courage. Don't let anyone tell you different because they're lying. That being said, I hope the new decade is good to you. I hope there is a lot of love and compassion from family, friends, lovers, and strangers. I hope that you rise to meet each day with fire in your belly, love in your heart, and unshakable faith. I hope you develop an environment for love and healing for yourself and others. I hope you cry a lot and laugh a lot, too. I hope you become a better listener. I hope you learn to put your judgments aside and make room for understanding. I hope you learn to forgive yourself and others with or without an apology. I hope you open yourself to learning a plethora of new things. Most importantly, I hope you never stop growing. I wish you a happy 2020 and a happy new decade!

Tis the season

For many, the holidays are a somber time due to various circumstances. Some people are experiencing their first holiday without a loved one. Others have strained relationships with their families. There are those that are experiencing the holiday season with a chronic or terminal illness. Some are suffering from loneliness and depression. Spread love, understanding, & acceptance EVERY holiday season and reach out to those who could use healing. Be kind and compassionate to each other. 

Love,
