JANUARY 1st, 2021 – a new day, a new year, and no matter how crazy things look at the moment, an opportunity for a new way of living and being. Yes, really.
I’m not talking about the new ‘normal’, as in how adaptive will we cramp ourselves into being. I’m talking about that 4-letter word – LOVE.
For 2021 is the year to live LOVE. Yes, really. To breathe LOVE, imagine LOVE, and shine LOVE forth in all its glory. It’s the year to share the LOVE that you are – to dig deep beyond the pain and sadness and find that shining light of love that’s been hiding in the crevices of your oh-so-vulnerable heart.
It’s the year to dare to be who you truly are. And that means to LOVE.
Yes, the world can look dark. Yes, it can feel scary. And yes, there are bound to be moments when you wonder whether it’s all worth it. But in that still-point voice deep inside, you know it is.
So go on now, grab those cherished dreams and bring them into reality. Dust off your visions, polish up your talents, unfold that bucket list, and LOVE them all into being. And then share them.
Be kind. Be caring. Be gentle. And most of all, be very good to YOU. Because if you can’t love you, how you can love anything or anyone else? Really.
2020 was, in many ways, a dark place for our world. Dark places can feel like they can go on forever. But the thing about dark places is this – all you really need to change them – is to turn on the light.
Your love is that light.
HAPPY 2021 TO YOU ALL!
I’m recognizing that where you are, the clock may have flipped itself into 2019 BUT HERE it’s still in the ‘I’m-about-to-be’ stage, approaching ever-so-soon but not quite yet (don’t you just love TIME). SO, here’s a big blossoming blooming YEA! to 2019.
