It’s nearly 2022! Have you noticed that nowadays a week feels like a couple of days and a month like a week?
The entire world will remember 2021 as the continued year of the pandemic. Vaccines 1 and 2 were introduced and combined should have lasted an entire year, but not so. We received the news that boosters would also be required, will it end? Maybe not, Brother Boris says we have to live with it and so we brace ourselves.
As I reflect on the year I turn to one of my year-end rituals. I am centring, focusing, and preparing my mind and my soul as I cross the threshold of 2021 into 2022. It is something I think about each year but this time with much more intention.
I share with you here some of the things I have been pondering, and some of the questions I have been asking myself:-
What is my most memorable win/s?
What do I feel most proud of?
What are the most memorable moments?
What do I want to celebrate? Who supported me the most? Who do I wish to acknowledge for this support?
What / who were my biggest challenges during the year and how did I overcome them? How did I expand during these challenges? Who helped me during those challenges? What is my biggest takeaway from the experiences?
Where have I grown?
Where / what do I still need to heal? What do I need to let go of? What cycle do I need to break once and for all? Where do I need to be more disciplined?
What / who do I need to leave behind in 2021 in order to realise my full potential? (this is a hard one, it may be a habit that no longer serves who we truly want to be).
What do I want to celebrate this time next year going into 2023?
Quite a bit to consider isn’t it? Do let me know how you got on and what you discover.
My sincere thanks to all of you who continue to be part of my journey. To those of you who have been my cheerleaders and have supported me by purchasing my book. 2021 have had some laugh-out-loud moments, however, some of my moments have been sad ones too.
Like many of us over the last couple of years, dear ones have passed. I lost 2 aunts this year Auntie Faye and Aunt Jen. Aunt Jen would always say a prayer for me each time we spoke. That was her way of showing me that she loved me. Auntie Faye called me every 2 weeks, she was ALWAYS upbeat even in her illness, she would crack a joke and we would have a giggle. Life can be fleeting, love the people in your life and love them well. Do the best you can for them always, it doesn’t have to be monetary. A smile, a telephone call, a word of encouragement, simply listening goes a long long way and to many priceless.
Wishing you an outstanding 2022 and lifting a glass to your best year yet.
