Truth is, I haven’t written in my blog for half a year because I haven’t been very inspired. 2020 has been filled with so many down times, that it’s hard to find the inspiration. Now with COVID19, there’s just not much to say; or so I thought.

Through the pandemic, I’m learning more about myself than I ever have. I’m learning that I can cook a meal from scratch. I can meditate every day. I can take 10 minutes to incorporate some movement through yoga. I can make mistakes too (like lying to people I care about). I’m learning to trust myself. To speak up for myself. And, I’m learning to slow down and just notice. Pay attention. Be present.

There have been times when I think that it’d be better to give up. Let go of hope. Release into the darkness. But I don’t. I hold onto hope that things will get better. And when I lose that hope, I can tell my therapist and we can talk through it. So I’m holding hope today. I have to.

Sending love and light, Kel.
