If 2021 was anything for me, it was definitely a blur. I will never discount the blessings, as they were bountiful, but am I the only one who doesn't know where the time went?
I'm looking forward to 2022 and expounding on my renewed mindset to truly:
Not sweat the small stuff
Continue to love people, even if they can only be loved from afar
Rejoice in others wins and let them know
Remove myself from toxic, stressful situations
Continue therapy forever for my mental health
Move my body consistently
Live my life in perpetual gratitude and remain prayerful
Give back to others without expecting anything in return
Eat clean consistently
Not only tell people what they need to hear, but what they don't want to hear
On another note, this is my blog anniversary! Every year in this thing has only been better in terms of growth. Of course there have been hills and valleys, but I am so thankful for the community that has supported me throughout the years. The new friendships, relationships with amazing brands, the experience and opportunities!
You have lifted me up when I've been down, been a vehicle of encouragement and I so hope I've done the same for each of you.
In my prayers, I ask God to help me to inspire and to make him proud. I hope I have made you proud also.
Thanks for sticking with Stylish Paradox! I look forward to great things this year!
Until next time, love and light!
