Happy New Year ! 2022
It's been a while but as with everyone else, I needed to take a much needed break to;
- Analyze my course of direction
- Cut out what was not working
- Strengthen and plant deeper roots with what was working
And viola!
I am now in a space where I have the mental capacity to return to blogging.
Today's blog post is me taking stock of 2021 since apparently I didn't make a single post through out the entire year.
Making : Art. I took up painting and coloring as a mental health activity
Cooking : Home cooked meals. I have challenged myself to work with ingredients or food items I am not familiar with. For example, winter melon
Reading: I read about 20 books in 2021. I will like to see that number in the 30s in 2022. Here is my IG Books page.
Enjoying: The season am currently in and Deciding to make the most out of it.
Loving: Attempting to love my pandemic weight body
Listening: To a newish sound (Amapiano) out of South Africa. It's my new obsession. If you have a playlist you want me to check it, comment below and share.
Marveling: At how much I have grown in the last 2 years in the middle of a pandemic. I took a lot of risks. Some of them did not pay off. But some did pay off. Lessons where learned all around
Wearing: Dresses. I spent 2021 tapping into my femininity and was happy to swap my pants for some colorful dresses.
Bookmarking: Everything about bitcoins and metaverse and decentraland. I do not want to be left behind!
Opening: Myself to new experiences outside my comfort zone.
Giggling: about online dating and the messiness of that whole universe.
Feeling: Inspired in a way that I have not been in a long while.
Helping: The Houseless. The pandemic and my own experience highlighted the importance of this social cause.
Celebrating: Resiliency! We are still here, standing strong/weak it doesn't matter. We are standing.
Embracing: The woman in the mirror with each new year. I thank my younger self for doing all the work that has brought me here into the woman I am becoming.
