I found this picture from 2010. What I see here is a lost, naive, but ambitious almost 22 year old college grad with a strong mirror selfie game and no idea where her future lies. Despite all the chaos constantly happening around me, it’s hard not to reflect on the good things and wins, big and small, that this decade did bring me and remind myself of all losses and the lessons I learned. You gotta celebrate them all. Those losses broke me, shaped me, taught me, but made me stronger.
Even tho there’s a million materialistic things to be thankful for in this last decade. The only thing that I’m thankful and hopeful for right now is Family, and family in good health. This year has been a constant test for so many of my loved ones and myself. Not all storms come to disrupt your life, some come to clear your path.
For 2020, I set so many intentions and made so many lists on how to refocus my life. But today really taught me that no matter what you plan, His plans are always greater. I pray that God watches over all of my loved ones, and you. 🙏🏼 Let your faith be bigger than your fear. Trust that what’s coming is better than what’s gone.
We had other plans to celebrate the New Years, ringing in a new decade with some major partying. I mean, Salman as my husband would have been furthest from my wildest dreams in 2010 - But Praise His ways, here we are today. 🧿
Surrounded by the two that gave me life, and the one that considers me his, it’s the best kind of party any girl could ask for. Hope your NYE and 2020 is as full of love as mine. ♥️ Farewell to a decade of growing and blessings disguised as lessons. Happy New Decade full of love, health, happiness, contentment, peace, and growth from me and mine to you and yours. 🤍🎉 #2020 #happynewyear #newyearseve #roaring20s #blessingsnotburdens
