Because who you are is worth celebrating, and if you’re busy making New Year’s resolutions, I invite you to make them from a place of celebrating who you are NOW.

This time of year can often disappoint, given the very high expectations we - and those around us - have for it. But while we’re busy telling ourselves it’s because of the gift we didn’t receive or the lack of kind words spoken, we’re missing the opportunity to FEEL the disappointment that’s been trapped in our bodies since WE first felt like a disappointment as a child.
