May this be the year you choose hope over loss, pursue peace over uncertainty, and practise letting go over resistance.

p.s. I’m aware of the spelling mistake in the photo, but staying in line with the quote, I’m choosing to let it go and settle on wholeness over perfectionism xx

Finished painting number two 🎉 Admittedly I finished it in October but I haven’t had the energy to get dressed and look decent enough to take a photo with it until now, so that’s two big achievements in one post 🤗 p.s. it is just a paint by numbers guys I’m no artist! xx

May you never forget how far you have come.
May you never discredit your progress or growth.
May you never compare your year or journey with anyone else’s.
May you never give up hope that this year will be better.
May you never stop dreaming and believing that those dreams can, and will come true.
May you never feel disheartened that you are not as far along as you hoped.
May you never feel you are stuck; like nothing is changing.
May you never stop practising gratitude, letting go, and acceptance.
And may you never stop pursuing peace, hope, and joy in the little things.

Because despite everything that happened last year, you still made it through to another year, and I’m so proud of you ✨ xx

There comes a point where the time passed becomes bigger than what the heart can bear. Three years housebound was too much for me; too heavy to acknowledge, too much time to think about. So I let it passed unnoticed, hoping in some way it might make it easier for me, and in some ways it did help; not allowing the number three to define me or to take up all my focus. But I realise now I also passed up an opportunity for reflection and growth. A time to see the gained rather than the lost, the gratitude rather than the mourning. To make a list of everything these three years have given me, and to imagine who I’d be if these three years hadn’t happened to me.

Because whenever I find myself feeling sad about the time passed, I know that this is the moment I need to contemplate what my life would have been like if these three years hadn’t happened. To take away everything I have learnt; the knowledge, the wisdom, the growth. Because I know when I do this it doesn’t take long before I remember that no amount of time can replace what I have gained in these three years.

But above everything, I wouldn’t have this: I wouldn’t have people reading my words, I wouldn’t have made the endless friendships with so many incredible people, I wouldn’t have this deep connection with an entire community, I wouldn’t have people who constantly support me, inspire me, and bring me endless love, joy, and connection every single day.

So even though I’m slightly late to my three years housebound anniversary, I want to dedicate this moment to every one of you reading this. I wouldn’t be half the person I am today without you. And I know I will treasure the friendships I have made these past three years forever. Thank you for being on this journey with me 💛💛💛

So many things may not have changed this year. You may be in the same place physically; still trying to get towards the same goal that you have been trying to achieve all year, with little or no progress. You may even feel like you have gone backwards: stumbling into even more obstacles along the way.

But one thing is certain: just because the year is ending, does not mean your story is ending too. You are growing and you are continuing along your path whether that day is the last day of the year or the first day of a new one. Your story does not stop or halter based upon where you are in the year.

It may feel disheartening because the end of the year is about “reflection”; looking at where you have gone wrong and where you have gone right. The things you have achieved, and the things you haven’t. But you are also welcome to embrace the fact that in terms of your story and where you are headed: there is no stop here. You are free to continue on ahead without looking back, and you are free to acknowledge there is so much more up ahead of you.

So even though it may be the end of another year, I promise you, this is not the end of your story ❤️

Lots of love, E xx
