Welcome to Day 1 of the next chapter of your life. That always sounds so cliche’ and implies that you are to do something to actively change the trajectory of your life beginning today. The reason it sounds cliche’ is that it signifies that you haven’t been doing something to this point and that the change of calendar year will put you in a different place.

The truth of the matter is that so many people have been trying to do their very best with what they have, and the fact that you made it another day (not another year, because we have to take this life one day at a time) is something to celebrate. I want to take this time to send love and prayers to each of you for a year that exceeds all your expectations!

I also want to encourage you to trust yourself this year and do what brings you joy! Life is short and we spend so much time overthinking every aspect of it. I binge watched the final season of Insecure this week, and in an episode, the statement was made “what if there is no wrong answer?” when one of the characters was trying to make a decision for her life. I pose the same thought for you as you embark on a new year and are making decisions for yours. What if you chose what was right for you? What if you made choices that weren’t guided by anxiety and fear, but by hope and positivity? What if you appreciated your life for what it is? How would that change your outlook?

In 2022, I wish you peace, grace, good health, good decisions and love as you make the best of the life you have. Thank you for continuing on this journey with me…the best for all of us is yet to come!
