20 Blessings of 2020
We can all agree that last NYE, we definitely had no idea that 2020 was going to be the year of COVID. I know so many of us suffered losses this past year. Loss of a loved one, loss of income and loss of human connection. This year definitely opened my eyes and had me focus on what was really important. That intense focus has made me aware of all my blessings. I’d love to share, in no certain order, my top 20 blessings of this year. I invite you to write out yours and focus in on all the positive we have in a time of uncertainty.
Faith. “Activate your faith, live in victory, speak over your life and expect great things to come your way.”
Health. Grateful for every breath and waking moment.
Love. I never imagined that I’d fall in love. Let alone, fall in love with my soulmate. You see me and love me exactly how i am. I adore you baby.
Family. Here and in my heart. Forever my rocks in life. My Meggie - my cousin/sister/daughter/best friend. My new family I am building with my love.
My “kids” while I don’t have any children - I have been called a grandmother! I love my kiddos and I am beyond blessed to be their Auntie Ber. Lincoln is actually sitting next to me and watching my favorite movie with me - Jurassic Park!!
Friends. Some live near. Some live far. Some I talk to almost every day. Some I talk to only once in a while. I am grateful for all the friendships I have and the support and love they show me.
Home. I share my home with my love. It is my peace.
Stella and Bella. My two crazy cats. Stella who loves every ounce of attention you give her and she forces you to give her even more! Bella and her scaredy cat ways. She likes to hid in the ceiling and avoid humans at all costs.
My Career. I lost my job in 2020. I knew it was a blessing. It directed me to a new job and a great team!
WFH. Working from home in my pajamas. :) (I do miss human interaction though!)
Perspective. I am blessed to be able to look at things from a different perspective. I try to have an open mind. I know I get this from my dad, who just tried to be a good human every day of his life!
Binge watching. I have never watched soooo much TV in my life! Hells Kitchen, The Boys, Dexter, Governor Cuomo’s press conferences, Hoarders, Intervention, Big Mouth. The list goes on and on!
Mighty Werthy. My brand. My story. ME.
Art Therapy. This is what is defining me right now. With the help of my love, we have created an art therapy room and I have incorporated it into my business plan for 2021. Very Exciting Things Coming your Way!!
Hearts Unleashed. Abby Gazda is a friend, mentor and all around bad ass! She’s a blessing in my life and pushes me to go outside my comfort zone. I spoke at my first Hearts Unleashed Retreat as a therapeutic art life coach! — I am kind of a big deal!
Adversity. The year started off in a deep depression. I was struggling a lot. I kept telling myself to just hang on. Just keep showing up. Just KEEP TRYING.
Resilience. I NEVER GAVE UP! My life now is filled with health, love, purpose and joy!
Purpose. This is my word for 2021. Living my life on purpose, for my purpose.
Toilet paper. But no, seriously. It was the year that the shelves were bare and I knew the fear of only having one roll left! 😱
Clarity. To see all these blessings, even if we are still 6 feet apart.
xoxo,
