Whew! We made it. It's been a whirlwind of a year, am I right? 2020 was the what I like to call the "growth year". I believe it was exactly what we needed to put life into perspective and to make room for 2021, a year of transformation.

Change and growth is tough, it's not meant to be an easy process. There were moments that broke out hearts this year and days where some of us nearly reached our breaking point. My word for 2020 was perseverance, and at the time I had no idea what that word meant to me until 2020 hit.

Life can be painful

Growth can be painful

Change can be painful

In the end, nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you don't belong.

I encourage you to choose a word to live by this year and see how it applies to your life by the end of 2021.

Remember that everyday is a seed that can grow into something beautiful!

How are you going to use the seeds you receive everyday to grow your beautiful life garden in 2021?

Remember that self growth is a continuous journey of trial and error. God will give you challenges to work through that will make you stronger. The process will test your strength, reveal your weaknesses, and empower growth.

Keep going, no matter what. We are all in this together, on a journey of self-discovery and growth.
