“Fractured but not broken, for it is the cracks that allow the light to shine into the darkness, and there is much to be learned there.” – Terrie Elizabeth Reeves
As you close out the year and the decade, consider doing personal reflection because it is good for your health. Understanding where you have been can help you move forward with greater awareness, compassion and intention.
For me 2019 was definitely a year full of peaks and valleys and emotional highs and lows. I lost my mom/best friend, felt great support from my friends and family, and I took the leap of faith and launched my Empower Health America business full force. Each experience came with it a kaleidoscope of emotions and this year has certainly taught me, to experience great joy; you must also experience great sorrow. I wish there was a way around sorrow but the only way to get to the other side is through it. I share this mantra that has served me well over the years, “Fractured but not broken, for it is the cracks that allow the light to shine into the darkness, and there is much to be learned there.”
So, what did your 2019 feel like for you? What events brought you joy, what events put you in the stretch zone and what events caused you sadness? More importantly, how has 2019 impacted you and prepared you for the coming year? We all have a choice regarding how life affects us, so don’t let it toss you around. Stand in your power and truth, stay open to new possibilities and know that the bumps and boulders in the road are there to slow you down so you can feel, heal and grow.
We don’t know what cards we are going to be dealt from year to year, but my hope for you is that you lean into abundance in 2020 by living life with greater intention, and by showing yourself and others more compassion. Below are a few thoughts I wanted to share, and I hope you find them meaningful.
