Tha past year was a rough experience but one that made us look at what is beneath our top layers - in every sphere of our lives. It was a character-building year that toughened us up, whilst also somehow simultaneously softening us on the inside with gratitude for what we have.
I love this quote by the brilliant author Arundhati Roy about the pandemic that hit us in 2020.
As you face 2021, which will no doubt have challenges and adventures of its own, I want to remind you of the immense power of your creativity. Take heart because you are, naturally, a creative being. Even if you don't feel it right now and the year ahead looks daunting, your true nature is to be creative.
I encourage you to continue exploring and opening yourself up to your creativity. As you do, you will begin to see possibility, find solutions, become more adaptable and be bolder in bringing your true self to the fore and your unique contribution to your family, your business and the world.
Nope, we're also being reminded a lot lately, that we should not be taking our lives for granted. Life is not a dress rehearsal. We are but a vapour.
So with the time we have, let's be braver and bolder. Let's break away from those fearful, anxious voices in our head and let's go for it. Coco Chanel put it rather abruptly:
"There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time." Coco Chanel
So, gear up and show this year what you are made of. Strong stuff!
