2019: The Year of Embracing Your Journey and Elevating
If you know me, you know that I LOVE to send (and receive) cards with positive messages and and words of affirmation for birthdays and just because. For the holidays I use to send holiday cards adorned with Black Santa Claus, angels and nativity sets, yet at the end of 2016 I decided to create New Year’s cards instead with a mantra to live by for the year.
In 2017 the focus was on being intentional with your thoughts, actions and pursuing your goals. In 2018 the focus was on execution. You may have fell short on some of your goals and that is ok. Acknowledge your setbacks, celebrate your winds and embrace your journey. Focus on giving thanks for 2018 and elevating your life in 2019.
Peace & Love,
