To Strengthen and Soften (1.17.19)
Phew! I feel like I really need to get a blog post out about how my heart and head feels. My friend, Katrina, and I have a running joke that goes a little something like “2019 …. keeping me humble.” (Because – it truly is.)
I feel like I always end a year grasping at straws, which is a little discouraging and dark, but it’s just an honest way of describing what happens to me as fall turns to winters and work deadlines get tighter, life gets busier, and the lines across budget spreadsheets get fuzzy with Christmas presents and travel plans. It’s a lot of anxiety-sparking little electrical fires that seem to pop up throughout the gloomy, cold days of October to December, and while I take a little reprieve in the sweet, sweet truths of the holiday season, I feel a bit of emotional burn out come January 1.
