My Wishes for You in 2021

Hey there, gang!

As 2020 rolls to a close, I’d like to offer you my thoughts and wishes for ALL of us in this upcoming year of JOY….. 2021!

I read these last night during my live broadcast, but I thought I would write them down so you can really look at them and even return to them from time to time.

My Wishes for You in 2021

• Each and every one of us has struggles….be kind.

• Talk to yourself with love and compassion.
• Do what you love.
• Practice GRATITUDE every single day.
• Don’t apologize for who you are or how you feel.

• It’s ok to take care of YOU.  Do it.  Always.
• Celebrate the little victories….they are big.
• Cherish your friendships and take time to foster them.
• Take time to help someone else with anything, no matter how small. It will help you as much as it helps them.
• Try to do something outside of your comfort zone.  You never know what will happen, but you won’t regret trying.
• Never, EVER start a sentence with, “This might be a stupid question, but…”  Your ideas and questions are NEVER stupid.
• Always live wholeheartedly and unapologetically.
• Don’t take yourself so seriously.
• Don’t apologize for crying.  Ever.
• Being sensitive is a superpower, not a failure.  Embrace it.
• Fall in love with yourself every day.
