2017 won’t get the best of me!

Hello to my blogger family; it has been a while. I have had an eventful few weeks of traveling, seeing family and friends, and getting back into the swing of things at work. It has been all a giant blur. In fact, I can’t believe we are almost halfway done with the first month of the New Year. Over the past few weeks, there have already been many ups and downs (some more obvious than others). However, 2017 won’t get the best of me!

 Let me be clear! 2017 will get the best of me, but it won’t get the best of me. Even more confused?! Let me explain:

 In 2017, I am committed to living a healthy, productive lifestyle, committed to growth and change. I grew and matured so much in 2016 that I want to take it to the next level in 2017. So 2017 will get my very best. However, I will not tolerate the awful things that 2017 has in store. We all know things happen. Some things we have no control over, ad some things we do, bt we ll allow to happen. In 2017, I will respond to these situations with integrity, self-awareness, love, and peace. Yes, with love and peace. I am committed to having love and peace in 2017. It will be difficult! I think the most beautiful things are the hardest to achieve.

 I spent 2016 doing the grunt work of pure healing. I cried, prayed, worked through loneliness, and overcame complacency and discontent. It wasn’t easy, but I made it through, even when I didn’t think I could. This is why 2017 won’t get the best of me. I have survived the growing pains and am happy to say I have made it this far. I cannot afford to let 2017 erase all the gains of 2016. In fact, I need to add to those gains.

 This will be difficult. I may fail. However, I will get back up and try again.

 

Until next time:

Let God’s light shine within and through you!

I am who I say I am. The previous statement is a simple declaration of the power I have from being set free from the confines of who people wanted me to be. Today we are so consumed with how we want those around us to perceive our existence that we are not keenly aware of who we are and the value of our existence, our contributions, and our power. It is my life’s mission to allow those around me to come into their full existence and to make them understand that they matter. Through this site, I hope something touches you and makes you understand that you matter. Once you believe that you matter share your testimony so those around you will understand that they matter. Let’s continue to share until we are all liberated.
