Lessons of 2019

January

Loss and heartache, of any kind, is devastating. But in the midst of all the grief & mourning, give gratitude that you are blessed enough to experience a love so strong. A love so real.

February

Grief is a process. You have to go through the pain to really grow through the pain. The process is never linear but what makes it easier is knowing that they are forever in your heart and guiding you through this journey.

March

There is a time and place for everything and things come & go at the exact time they need to. Trust in the process. Trust in the timing of it all. And trust in Him.

April

There is beauty in humble confidence. Find it. Master it.

May

You have to put yourself first and that includes your health.

June

People will judge you by your age, your gender, your looks. They will read you before ever getting to know you. Prove them wrong.

July

It's okay to say no. And you don't need to -

defend your no,

apologize for your no,

or feel bad for your no.

Just say... no.

August

Good company is priceless and you can find "home" in souls.

September

It's a beautiful thing when two people let each other in. When someone allows you to see all the parts of themselves that they are hiding from the world. When they trust you enough to be completely vulnerable with all their insecurities, all their secrets, and all their aspirations. Cherish these moments.

October

Be honest. Be incredibly honest. With yourself. With others. With your feelings & what's in your heart because the worse thing you can do to yourself is to leave words unspoken. There is power in transparency & openness.

November

No matter how much potential you see in someone. No matter how much you care, love, or want to save a person. How badly you want to make it work. To be his saving grace. That changing light. His ONE exception. If the person is not ready for your love, you must let them go. Because you will never have to convince someone who is meant for you, to be ready for you.

When a man tells you, you deserve better, listen to him.

December

Be selective with who you keep close- protect your energy.

Be proud of your own strength & resilience - you've come a long way.

Be gentle with yourself - you are exactly where you're meant to be.
