That realization led to an early
resolution: to let go of the stuff. Not just the physical stuff that stresses
me out, but the mental stuff as well. The endless obligations that really don't
hold much importance. The fears, conflicts, and regrets. The unreasonable
expectations of myself and others. And just like I made space in our home to
celebrate our favorite holiday, I'm making room for the important things.
Loving my family. Embracing the work I'm blessed to be given. Helping those who
truly need it.
My wish for you is that you can do the
same, whether it's letting go of physical things that are weighing you down or
making room in your life for love, family, and forgiveness. Because even at the
beginning of this journey, I know the less "stuff" I carry around
with me, the more I will have in the end.
