Happy New Year lovely friends!
I hope you’ve had a wonderful New Year’s Day.
I know we’re all contemplating changes, or maybe improvements, to ourselves and our routines for the New Year. I’m no different. Improvement is worthy, and something we should all attempt, for positive growth is so important.
But….
I just wanted to tell you… I think you’re just fine the way you are.
You might feel more accomplished if you cut sugar, or read the classics, or learned a new language, or exercised three times per week.
But you might not…
All that really matters is that, at the end of the day, you lay your head on your pillow feeling like you tried your hardest, you did your best, whatever the circumstances were. Some days our “best” shines with flowers and rainbows and unicorn glitter. Other days our “best” is just enough, brown and boring, but strong like the bare tree branches in winter. They might not look that impressive, but they are the armature on which glorious flowers, fruit and leaves grow on the good days.
It doesn’t matter if you lose those last pounds or learn to swing-dance. May you be more of amazing self this year. More true. More vibrant. The light of your soul beaming from your eyes and heart to everyone around you.
Sending love from this corner of the world to yours.
