Leaving 2013 wiser: What good things have you learned in the last year?

i've learned that i am not out here alone. through serious misfortune, i've learned that i am loved and respected, and that it would matter if i weren't here.

2013 was an amazing year!

Definitely learned to navigate some health and family stuff and let myself have room to be scared and angsty when going through the processes. I'm a tough motherfucker. That was reiterated over and over again this year.

There were a couple of themes that kept coming up for me over and over this year: truth, justice, karma, work, reward, love, resolve, patience, determination.

The world is full of ugly and there are certainly a lot of black-hearted, mentally ill people to do the bidding of uglyness but the wall that is love surrounds me and shields me from all of that acid. It is not my job to dish out karma, nor is it within me to wish ill on people and I have definitely learned this year to keep swimming in my lane and let people's actions rock their own waters.

Lots of opportunities over the last year to show up for my loved ones too. Lots of ways to accept help when offered and learn how to ask for help. It's all been a nice process. Difficult at times, but wonderful.

I'm looking forward to 2014!

I learned that running away from problems doesn't solve anything, and family and friends far outweigh money and work. This is something I wish I knew in 2013... But instead I'm sitting here in Denver freezing my butt off.

2014 is the year to get my shit together and...

Goin....
Goin...
Going back to Cali

(I think...)

Happy New Year!!
