Reflection of 2018...

Since it’s Reflection Sunday... Here’s my reflection of 2018: (It’s lengthy to summarize a year.) As I journaled last night, I thought in great detail about the year of 2018, how it started, everything in between, and the year coming to an end. If I could sum up this year in one word, it would be growth. A year of progressive evolution to take a deeper look at myself, my marriage, my relationships, career, and working toward my purpose. In moments of frustration, times of heartache, confusion, and sometimes tears, I found new strength, a deeper voice within, and what I needed to perform in the various roles of my life. I challenged myself more mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually than I had in years past. I worked to dissect my feelings, what I was learning more about myself, to be grateful for each lesson and experience, and to be conscious of my mindset and set boundaries accordingly. I began understanding just how powerful the mind can be and to seek gratitude in each season during this year. In difficult days, I still allowed myself to feel the emotion but focused greater on reciting words of gratitude and positivity to change my mindset. Since January, I’ve consistently trained at the Camp Transformation Center, incorporated their meal plan and supplements into my daily routine. Turning 40 this year, I feel healthier, stronger, and leaner than I felt in my 20s and 30s. Complete living proof that with dedication, planning, and consistent effort, reaching your personal goals is completely attainable. I’ve met so many wonderful, positive people there. It’s like my 2nd home and I’m truly grateful for such a positive outlet. Together my husband and I worked harder on our dialogue and communication with one another, how to respect our different personalities, and what we needed from one another. In doing so, we found an even deeper love between us and I couldn’t be more thankful for what we’ve accomplished together. For my relationships, I’ve learned that know matter how hard I love and what I offer, I may not receive the same in return. I have the choice to decide how I spend my time and to seek relationships that are willing to grow and that we all may be at different paces but mutual respect must be a common denominator. That’s not negotiable and it’s not a competition. We should all want to see each other win. For my career, I’ve had to dig deep to juggle many important tasks and feel proud of such a successful year. As far as my purpose, I’m still developing on where I see myself. But what I can say is I will continue to uplift, be light, voice of positivity, and project love whenever possible. This year has taught me so much to value. I am entirely grateful for everything, a fresh perspective, and to continue to be my best. No matter how you lived out your 2018, I hope that you look at it from view of gratitude - everything even the hard parts are meant to teach you something. The choice is yours to take the awareness and grow from it or choose to remain the same. I’m on a quest to grow. I hope you are too. Wishing you an early Happy New Year! Excited for an even greater 2019. God bless! ❤️✌🏼
