Cheers To 2019

This afternoon I realized that I’ve been playing the narrative that 2019 “kicked my ass”... but actually, if I sit and really ask my heart, it didn’t. ⁣ ⁣ This year was filled with travel, family, growth, open hearted expansion. It was filled with healing, kindness, challenges faced and lots of being present with myself and with others. ⁣ ⁣ So..... no, 2019 didn’t kick my ass. There were lots of things that I worked through, lots of pain I sat with, lots of trauma I healed and yes, lots of days I wanted to just curl up into a ball. I healed my physical body in many ways & shed many lbs as a result. Tears fell probably more days than not, but, 2019 did not kick my ass. It showed me more of who I am. It showed me my power, my darkness, my light. It showed me my inner dragon, my patterns, my attachments, my growth. It showed me how big my freaking heart is. It showed me my biggest fears, and it showed me the things I love more than anything else. ⁣ ⁣ So, I choose to speak the truth of this year instead of some BS story, even if half in jest.⁣ ⁣ 2019 - You were perfectly designed for the growth I needed. You were hard, but you were mine. I did not suffer through you, I co-created with you. I refuse to hand over my power by saying you kicked me where it hurt. I will keep my power. I will hold these past 12 months with a heart filled with gratitude and love, and I will thank you for the lessons, the growth & the healing. ⁣ ⁣ Cheers to 2019! ✨
