Farewell to 2023

2023. This is the year I will undoubtedly look back upon and think, here is where my life truly became my own.

This year I sat with myself.

This year I accepted and honored myself.

This year I found my voice.

This year I finally liked myself.

This year I stepped into my authentic self.

This year I fell in love with myself, flaws and all.

Turns out, I’m pretty freaking great and I have been all along.

This year I learned how resilient, brave, and capable I am. I learned the importance of standing in my truth and fighting for the ones I love, despite some not understanding or supporting my decisions.

I cried more tears than seems humanly possible. I said goodbye to people, situations, beliefs, and habits that are no longer in my highest good, or the highest good of all.

I gutted myself with the painful yet necessary work of healing my trauma, recognizing the ways I have abandoned and dishonored myself, owning the pain and suffering I have caused others, setting boundaries, saying no and enough, and recognizing the part I play in my own suffering.

I grew a deeper affinity and appreciation for meditation, journaling, exercise, shadow and inner child work, spending time outdoors, and dancing in the living room with my 3 little loves.

2023 took me by surprise. It was a heartbreaking, empowering, and transformative year indeed.

I am making a conscious effort to leave fear, guilt, shame, and unhealthy attachments in 2023. For the first time, my heart will be open to not only giving but receiving compassion, kindness, love, and support.

2024 goals:

Let go of what no longer serves me.

Live within a growth mindset.

Practice daily gratitude of my blessings.

Thank my triggers and struggles for providing new opportunities to heal and grow.

I am beyond grateful for all the wonderful souls in my life, family, friends, and patients. I’m heading into 2024 as my brightest and shiniest self yet. My experiences this year have given me new a perspective and passion in my work. I am renewed, hopeful, and eager to help others on their journey to create their best life.

Happy New Year, everyone!

With love,
