Embrace

Plans change. "Oh well, that's life. Plans change." It seems to have been my catch cry for the last 5 or 6 months... Whatever I've had in my head about how things 'should' go, just hasn't worked out that way! The timelines change, the methods change, or things just altogether don't happen; but that's life! And it's been a great lesson for me in letting go, releasing control, and learning to embrace things however they work out. With that in mind, I came into 2022 with the mindset of just embracing whatever opportunities and experiences come my way, without getting too hung up on the details or trying to control every little thing. I wanted to make the most of the new year with a fresh start, having moved into our own place, and having an array of opportunities lined up in front of me that I wanted to embrace fully and not let anything slip through my fingers! And it's safe to say that so far, this year has not gone to plan! There's already been spanners thrown in the works, and plans have changed from how I'd laid them out in my head. So breathe. Release control. And just embrace. As it's shaping up to be, 2022 is really going to be the year to test my ability to embrace life as it comes to me! Someone out there has higher plans than me, and I just have to trust that I'm in the right place at the right time, and that everything will work out; even though the year is going to look very different to what we had in mind. I'll be sharing more over the coming months, but just know, something big is coming!

My word of the year for 2022 is EMBRACE.

Embrace (noun):

An act of accepting something willingly or enthusiastically. So a reminder to myself: just embrace it, and let the year flow!
