Hello friends! I hope your weekend has left you feeling rested, happy and ready to conquer a great new week! I also hope you are lucky to be spending this Monday doing what you want, and not going to work!
As I’ve had time to get some much needed organizing done due to our wintery weather a few weeks ago, I’ve also had some time to reflect on the past months, and brainstorm for the future. So much has happened over the past year, and I cannot wait to see what 2017 has in store, for all of us!
So I thought I’d share something that has been on my mind often, but just haven’t had time to say, until now.
My wish for you in 2017…..
I know at the end of a year and the start of a new one, two things can happen. You can be celebrating all the great changes in your life that have happened or are coming. Or you can be kicking the old year goodbye and praying for life to send you a blessing or two, that just haven’t happened yet.
No matter what side you are on, my wish for you is that whatever you dream about, work for, and imagine to become your reality, I hope it does.
I want you to be surrounding by what makes you the happiest, that includes people, your profession, and life in general. I want you to love this life for all that it has to offer to you, because we only have one.
I wish for your health and healing. I know that life isn’t easy, we all struggle and experience loss in one form or another. We all handle our lives differently, but I wish for the end result in any given situation to be the same, for you to heal, grow and learn from your personal experience.
Life is a journey and I believe the best way to live it, is with our eyes open to all possibilities. I wish for you new experiences that excite your passions and creativity. The kind that make you wake up in the morning with your two feet already out of the bed. Life can be so joyous if you just allow yourself to feel it.
I wish for you new relationships and the rekindling of olds ones, that ignite your soul. The people we surround ourselves with play a very important role in our overall happiness. Positivity breeds positivity. In all honesty, none of us should allow anyone to steal our happiness through negativity, but we all know it happens . If you have found yourself in a situation with someone who doesn’t make you feel like a better person, as hard as it is, it’s time to remove yourself. Easier said than done, but I know you can do it.
Lastly, I wish for you self-care and love. Not one of us walks a day in your shoes, and you are the only one that can truly know what you need in life. You deserve to love yourself, because you are beautiful. We are all imperfectly perfect in our own ways, and you deserve to realize how amazing you are. I hope 2017 gives you time to take care of yourself, embrace your body, and realize that you were made exactly how you were meant to be. We all have the power to change what we do not like, but love yourself in all the seasons. Accepting yourself as you currently are, allows you to always be the best version of yourself while still striving for more.
I don’t believe life is a bunch of sunshine and rainbows, because we all go through things that we may not understand. I know for me, how I treat myself and others, are the defining moments in my life.
Take the time to focus on you, your passions, the people you love, and the goals you have for a wonderful 2017!
What do you wish for?!
