What Was Your Biggest Lesson This Year?

Just when you think you’ve overcome a pattern, the universe says, “Are you sure? Let me check.”

This is the best way I can describe my experience this past year. Many moments, and opportunities where I could either choose to stay connected to myself, or fall into the same old pattern.

A lot has shifted since the beginning of the year—and in ways that brought me to my knees.

I began to love what arises, no matter how inconvenient, knowing it would invite deep healing.

I practiced not running, but standing bravely in place when things felt considerably uncomfortable.

I realized choosing myself is sometimes going to massively disappoint people—especially when it means not following their agenda so they can avoid their own discomfort.

I made peace with the fact that no matter how a situation transpires, what you do right, or take responsibility for—some people will still vilify you to make themselves the hero.

I’ve learned most of all, I can really fucking bet on myself. That I can lean deeper into trust knowing that I’m in good hands. Knowing, I can carry myself through the storm, and dry myself off when it’s all said and done.

A massive shoutout goes to my therapist, my friends, Mother Gaia, and myself for holding it the fuck down during a wild year of expansion.
