Winter Blues

As this year comes to an end and I begin to gear up for 2022, Ive naturally been doing a lot of self reflection. 2021 was a tough year for me. Probably the toughest year of my adult life. It started out with the passing of my father in January. After that life just kept swinging. I continue to cherish my blessings because things could definitely be worse. It’s just been a shift. Prior to this year, I’ve always felt like I had things pretty much together. Even when there were bumps in the road, I was able to navigate back. This year shook me entirely. I think self reflection has helped me to better put things into perspective. Continuous elevation and learning will never end.

Here are a few things I’ve learned this year:

• People are who they are, not who you want them to be.

• Be solid with yourself!

• Bet on yourself 100% of the time.

• Go to Therapy!

• Communicate your feelings and intentions.

• Fuck what they talking bout…

• Your gut is always accurate.

• Getting to know yourself on a deeper level will help you to thrive.

• Appreciate where you are in your journey, even if it’s not where you thought you would be.

• You ARE GOOD ENOUGH!

• Grieve for as long as you need to.

• Continue to develop & hone in on your pockets of peace.

Trust in God and know that this feeling is just for a season!

I pray that everyone has a great holiday season and a Happy New Year!
