Unapologetically Me

As we reflect during this Holiday season, end of the year and end of a decade the images that surface are of the negatives and the positives that have taken place. However, we often dwell on the negative as it tends to replay itself over and over again. Which leads us towards making new years resolutions year after year.

How about this go-round we dwell on the positive! Instead of making resolutions we change our mindsets, step out on faith, and put ourselves first.

Yes, this year and/or this past decade there have truly been some ups and downs. But the one thing from it all is how much I’ve and you have grown. We’ve grown in so many ways. This past decade my beautiful baby girl has grown into a stunning young woman, making me an empty nester, I became a wife to an amazing man and have 2 beautiful bonus daughters. I’ve also started this blog and stepped out to do things that I love. 

This brings me to the biggest positive of all and that’s becoming who I am. Embracing my strengths and weaknesses and loving me. For so long I’ve been something to someone else and truly having that reflection and focusing on my needs and wants brings a new perspective into my life. This new revelation has truly allowed me the opportunity to embrace my 40s like a boss! Now, don’t get me wrong there have been some rough times however those moments have given me strength, allowed me the opportunity to see others for whom they really are, and most importantly has allowed me to find out who I am!

That’s a work in progress with more focus on putting me (you) first! So do yourself a favor during this time of reflection, hold on to the positive because you’ve made it thus far! Stay focused on walking in your purpose and most importantly don’t be afraid to put yourself first! Because when you truly love yourself and put your needs first you become an unstoppable woman and an even better spouse, mother, daughter, sister, friend, etc..

With all this reflection I’m definitely not making any resolutions for the New Year I’m stepping into this New Year, New Decade…UNAPOLOGETICALLY ME and I encourage you to do the same!
