Thank you, 2022
Grateful, blessed & boldly moving forward ^_^
It was an amazing bittersweet year: full of breakdowns and breakthroughs. We rise, we learn, become stronger and better. This year was rich in adventures, experience and connections. People-pleasing was very exhausting so I focused on what makes me truly happy and free. I gained a deeper, more authentic understanding of self and relationships – one of the greatest gifts I’m grateful for this year.
I got sick and underweight halfway 2022, but through healthy habits, therapies, miracles & angels sent, i'm grateful to recover quickly. Now i'm more driven than ever to Live Healthy, Pay It Forward & #LoveServeEmpower. 💝
I've also discovered the power of walking away from and letting go of toxic substances, people, addiction, covert aggression, abuse, violence and narcissism. I strengthened self-discipline, healthy boundaries and self-respect. Honed the power of protecting my peace, joy and family over anything else. Still working on my masochism, gullibility & perfectionism but no matter how small, progress is progress and i can always forgive and give myself grace. 🥰
Our family remained strong, faithful and merciful amidst cancers (of mind & body) and criminals. We shifted mindset from being victims to victors, worriers to warriors -- all through God’s guidance & grace. We grieve for the death of loved ones & connections we thought will stand the test of time. Nonetheless, we’re secured as a unit & boldly moving forward.
I am neither perfect nor self-righteous. I have sharp edges and dark sides that are harmful for some. So I’m deeply sorry if I hurt you in any way 🙏 Deep gratitude goes to those who patiently loved and accepted me as I am — and as I constantly improve. 🥰 I'm sorry. Thank you. I love you. ❤️
I choose to live my best life, by my strict standards, one fresh day at a time. If our values & vision align, i wish to deepen our connection. 🤗 Otherwise, thanks for your time and goodbye. 👋🙏 I gracefully release & detach from people and spaces that can't/don't want to hold me. I choose gratitude, love, kindness, and resilience no matter what. I wish peace, fortitude and highest good for all ✨🌬️💕
Grateful for my growth mindset and the capacity to share it. I'm so excited to keep learning from (and laughing at silly) failures and contributing to a better world, one healthy transformation at a time. Thanks for being part of my journey and purpose in this lifetime. 🥰
Struggles and uncertainties are still here, especially with the surgery, relocation and the crimes i'm still pondering to file in court... but my faith is strong that God never abandons! It's all for a reason. When all else fails and stripped away, i know to my core i've lived a life full of love and there's nothing more i can ask for. I'm ready 2023, BRING IT ON!!! 🥂💪🙏
