Aaaaaannnddd here we are, pumpkin!
Can you believe 2020 is done, complete and behind us?
{Where I am at it is 9:24pm still. So a few more moments to go.}
As I was journalling about this wild journey of 2020, I reluctantly wrote down some “stuff”. Stuff that got me to thank the year for the speedy growth, shifts and breakthroughs I experienced. 😑
Ugh! How upset I was for writing these words in my journal – “thank you for teaching me so much about myself, how I can grow and what I am capable of”
You have no idea now much I disliked writing these words… but there they were.
That real truth that came out.
And right after that one, another truth-bomb came rushing through:
“Also….. Let me note that I * can * have that same amount of growth {and even better!} through joy and happiness.”
🍃Moment of deep breath and release of this DELICIOUS truth:
Pain is not required for learning and growth.
That “no pain, no gain” gym talk that managed to spill out into the day-to-day world? Huge BS!
Let’s declare that right now love, and set the record straight:
PAIN IS NOT REQUIRED FOR LEARNING AND GROWTH. WE CAN LEARN, GROW AND HAVE QUANTUM LEAPS THROUGH JOY AND HAPPINESS.
Yes, this year was something. Something scary, traumatic that left deep scars in many of us.
But let’s remember thou that even in the midst of the craziness and unheard challenges we experienced collectively and personally, we made it through! We made it through the other side. We made it to the finishing line. And that is HUGE!
Huge pet on the back and moment of pause to feel into this moment. And to celebrate it. To celebrate that we are here and that through this whole process we still were in charge of our inner world and how we navigated through it all. ✨🥂As hard as it was.
📍Now before I wrap up my NYE note to you, a side but important note: TODAY exactly 9 years ago at 11:24pm CST, LimeTreeFruits was born – the very first blog was published 😍
I am so so so grateful to have you here with me – be that from the very beginning or from just last week! Your presence is always felt and it means the world to me. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart! Truly. ❤️
And here is to celebrating our journeys, where we are at right now, all that we overcame and all that we became 💫
Cheers to us and the New Year! 🥂✨
Many Smooches,
