After everything the world has encountered, we are all very blessed to say goodbye to 2021 and welcome another new year. If you are reading this post, I want you to take a moment to be grateful to be alive because unfortunately many aren’t with us today.
I’m very happy to spend the end of 2021 and beginning of 2022 in Rockland, New York where I was born and raised. It’s been a very peaceful and reflecting time. I actually visited Emeline park, a cute park my parents would bring my sister and I when we were kids. This small magical place facing the Hudson River was the perfect spot to reflect on 2021 and set my goals for 2022.
2021 has been a year to remember. Though I’ve had my struggles like everyone else, I’ve had more great moments than bad. It has been the hardest but best year. This year I learned to put myself before all and canceled out all fears. I took tons of risks, traveled more, laughed, cried, got my first tattoos, enjoyed every moment and made life changing decisions.
2021, thank you for making me a better and stronger person. Thank you for every moment that guided me transcend. Thankyou for the moments that allowed me to shine bright and share my light with the world. Thank you for every person that touched my soul or passed through my life. Thank you for every sunrise and sunset. Thank you for every moment of life.
As the covid virus or any other circumstance took more lives in 2021, I learned that there are no guarantees in life, so live your best life. Enjoy what you have and be grateful for what is good in your life. Love the people around you and remember that small kind actions make a huge difference in people’s lives.
As we welcome a new year I want to wish you all love, health, happiness and many abundant blessings. Thank you all for your constant support and kindness. Because of you all every year I continue to accomplish my dreams.
Be Lovely, Be You
