2022….Is that you? Happy New Year!

Ok, how are you feeling as we await 2022? Nervous? Excited ? Can you even believe we are hours away from a new year? I’m sure by now you have come up with your resolutions and maybe even created a vision board. There’s something amazing about the days leading up to a new year; moments of planning and reflecting. The reflecting is my favorite part. Taking time to appreciate what you’ve accomplished and what you have overcome. Appreciating new experiences and even new people. Looking back on what you’ve learned and how those very lessons will help you bloom in the next year.

For the last few years, I have made it a point to choose a word for each new year. I focus on that word throughout, to help keep me on track. Last year, my word was intentional as I wanted to be sure to do everything with purpose. Alright, so I slacked on it when it came to some things *cough cough* dating, but don’t judge me.

My word for this year is UNAPOLOGETIC. I plan to take up space and not apologize for doing so. I’m going to be a bit selfish this year, with my time, most of all. I’m going to speak my mind and let my “no” be “no” without any explanation. I’m not accepting less than what I deserve this year because now I know better. I will make self care a priority and continue creating boundaries with others to show myself respect. I will trust in God, because leaning to my understanding ain’t it. I am going to bloom; unapologetically.

Let’s strive to be the absolute best versions of ourselves in 2022: physically, mentally and spiritually.

So, what’s your word for this year ? What is the one word you want to help shape your decisions and your experiences in 2022? Comment below and let me know.

As always, thanks for reading and be safe bringing in 2022. Talk to you next year !
