So much has changed in the last year.

So much has been put on hold.

So much of our attention has been on staying safe, sane and keeping our sh*t together.

With so much wishing, waiting and wondering if and when we’ll all be able to take a collective sigh of relief, it feels a bit like time, and our lives, have been moving on without us.

The truth is our world has changed, and so have you. We’ve all been changed, and we’re all changing still. In more ways than one, you are a different person than when lockdown became a ‘thing’. For good or bad, the last 13 months have made you different.

I believe it’s important to take a moment and acknowledge change – to grieve or rage or celebrate all that’s happened… or all three.

It’s important because you are a living, breathing, feeling, always creating, always expanding being. And one of the most powerful ways to stay true to yourself and honor all of who you are is to recognize and accept all of the ways you have grown and are different.

Because as you change so do your needs, wants and desires. As you evolve so does your truth.

If you want to let go of exhaustion, self-sacrifice and being the martyr of your own life, you have to be willing to adapt your life to who you are today. Otherwise, you end up living life according to an outdated version of yourself, which only leads to confusion, frustration and misalignment in every aspect of your life.

It’s important to stay current with yourself. Because pandemic or not, you are still a magnificent woman, walking your unique journey of life, touching into the possibilities and desires and opportunities that are here for you. You have accomplished more in the last year than you are likely giving yourself credit for – a pattern that gets to change today!

Acknowledge yourself. Take note of who you are becoming, what is calling you forward in your life NOW, and how you can meet the moments of each day with presence, vitality, beauty, courage and power.

Let yourself catch up with who you are today. Make space for the grief, rage, disappointments, joy and celebrations that want to happen because of all that’s changed. Make space for YOU and what is true for you now.

How have you changed in the last year?

I hope you will take some time this week to acknowledge your journey and catch up with yourself. You’ve grown and changed in more ways that you know.
