12 or 11 days (Depending on the Timezone)...

As the year comes to an end, I started thinking about all that I have done this year, my experiences, my expectations for next year, and much more. Thoughts of my new years resolution, my steps to my career, and the friendships I have made and left behind are like headlights shining in my eyes. In all honesty, I do not even remember what my New Years' resolution was for 2019. I guess that is something I will have to do for resolution 2020; write it down. I have a vison board for 2019, but only achieved about 1/3 of the entire board...which is not exactly the goal for the year. This year has honestly been a huge eye-opener for me especially in regards to relationships and the true character of people I felt I had known my entire life. From the excitement of births, to the hardships of deaths, to the happiness of marriages, 2019 has given me a new perspective on friendships especially. You never want to miss those special once-in-a-lifetime moment with those you consider true friends and almost family which makes it all the more wonderful getting to experience incredible and life-changing events with them. With the overwhelm of education and unfortunate occurrences of intense sadness, I thought the year would end on quite a low note. However, despite everything that tried to bring me down, one thing after another kept bringing the light back into my life, giving me hope for the morning to come. My 2019 was forming, reconnecting, introducing, and releasing. I do not know what is instore for 2020, but I do know this:
 (Loving my daily dose of 'I got this' from Shine) "You don't have to bring everything with you into 2020. Today, reflect on the things that didn't serve you this past year. Whether it's a habit, mindset, or story you tell yourself, see what happens if you commit to letting it go."
I hope in 2020, you find what you are looking for and have those moments that tell you "everything is going to be okay." Just hold on and wait for those precious moments. You never know what goodness can be brought out from it.
