February 17 marked the LUNAR NEW YEAR.
•
I, personally, don't make resolutions on January 1. The timing seems "off", incongruent, and artificial (and low-key, it really is).
•
However, energetically, the lunar new year, observed consistently in and among indigenous communities, resonates and aligns with my .
•
This year, I resolve to... nuture meaningful relationships and LOVE BETTER, both personally and professionally.
•
At the heart of a worthwhile life is the quality of my relationships. I can pursue better habits, bigger goals, or greater success, and NONE OF IT compares to the strength, love, and connection I experience with the people closest to me. My relationships shape my well-being, my joy, and the way I move through every day of my life.
•
These are my LUNAR NEW YEAR "resolutions":
•
❤️ Cultivate at least three close friendships. "Fostering friendships” and “loving well” are in the top 3 of my list as they enhance the quality of my life.
•
🩵 Enjoy time with my "main squeeze". I'll be honest... Life is just better (and I'm JOYOUS) when I'm getting along with my homie/lover/BFF. For that reason, I'm investing (intentional) time in and giving (dedicated) energy to my marriage, the SECOND-most important relationship I value.
•
❤️ Remember that God is always there... every moment of my day. It is up to me to slow down, look up, and trust that He is present in the midst of my circumstances. My relationship with the Lord makes His wisdom, guidance, and comfort available. God is with me, no matter what.
•
I was created and wired to live in community rather than on my own. Healthy relationships are a “safe haven” for rest, companionship, and that someone (and Someone) will be there for me... whatever the day, whenever the hour. 🙌🏽 -llw♀️
