2020, eh. But, Merry Christmas!
2020 has been a such a year off loss, uncertainty and pain for so many...to say the least. The amount of sacrifice that was, and is still, required was completely off the charts and blindsiding. As WE can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel, although flickering, the images of these past 9 months will be something that will stay with US for some time, although WE do control this (discussion for a later date).
As WE have all raced to get to this day, to get some sense of normalcy and celebration, there are so many that continue to struggle and are not able to see the same light flickering that others do. The toll it takes for them to put the simplest presents under the tree gets overshadowed by trying to keep the lights on, a roof over their heads and food on their tables is unbearable. WE must keep them in our thoughts and assist anyone that WE can.
For those that have given the ultimate sacrifice this past year, YOU are told that time helps to heal. Well, we know that's truly never the case for those experiencing the greatest loss, as memories of this time period seem impossible. But, please understand that YOU also have, within YOU, the most amazing memories that will get you through the most difficult time(s) of your lives and carry YOU through whenever YOU choose to tap into them. Sure, not a very ideal consolation, but when YOU do realize that YOU do hold this power and can use it on command, maybe a slight edge gets taken off.
On this special day, it's really important to KNOW that all that matters is who is around the tree with you and not what's under it.
KNOW all that there is to be GRATEFUL for during this time, as there always is something.
2021 has so many BIG opportunities packed into, be ready with YOUR PURPOSE and INTENTIONS, as we cross into this new chapter TOGETHER!
