The beginning of the year is a great time to think about the footprints that we have left in the sand over the past year. Were we mindful at each step of our journey? Did we live a purpose-driven life? My journey taught me mindfulness, grace, gratitude and the beauty of peacefully letting life unfold (non-resistance). I was reminded to be mindful of every step of the journey, be grateful for blessings big and small, challenges that spur growth and losses that are painful but are a setup for a comeback. Also, to offer myself grace and forgiveness when I veer off path because sometimes the universe.
