The Intention
There is this quote by L.R. Knost, I believe she writes parenting books and has a parenting magazine. Neither of which I have read or use as reference because my baby is now 16 years old. I did however read this quote while aimlessly scrolling a few years ago and it resonated with me -

Intention Favors the Bold
I turned 50 years old in December, just a few weeks before the end of 2020. The morning of my half-century birthday, I sat down to get a head start on setting New Year’s Resolutions. After some thought, I decided I wouldn’t set “resolutions” for 2021 after all. I would examine how I had lived my “first” 50 years and then I would set intentions, not resolutions, for my “next” 50.

The Revolution of Resolutions
A few years ago, I sat across from an older couple in their living room, drinking tea as they went over my astrology charts. "Ambitious" might not have been the first word that someone who knew me well would use to describe me. However that never worried me nor did I have any idea it might be an issue, until the indelicate way the woman sitting across from me that day would point out with little sensitivity.

Metamorphosis
According to Webster’s online dictionary, the word metamorphosis is defined as “a striking alteration in appearance, character, or circumstances.” It is a word most often used to describe a beautiful transformation. It conjures up happy images of fairy tales and butterflies, but the word pandemic is anything but beautiful. For me and probably to most people, the year 2020 will forever be remembered as the year of force metamorphosis. Many Lives have been lost and altered forever, but as the year 2020 came to a close, a new hope for a new year is celebrated by many.

The death of the media woman
This year I'm going rogue. If 2020 taught me anything, it was the unpredictable nature of what a day can bring. The world stopped, and time stood still, and all of a sudden, I didn't need all the things I thought I did. New clothes hung in my closet with tags on them as the seasons changed. There was nowhere to go. My makeup bag, with two hundred dollars worth of products, stayed zipped up in the closet. New spring shoes sit, to this day, with flawless soles. I didn't even like those shoes all that much when I bought them. It was just what I saw other women wearing.

No more resolutions: alarm clocks and rustic getaways
I wanted to do things a little differently this year: no big unachievable resolutions, no repenting on what I didn’t do in 2020, no judgment towards where I am and how things are in my life at the beginning of the new year. It is so easy to use the new year as an excuse to start a thousand projects that will never see the light of day, so this year I mostly focused what went well in 2020: the good habits I maintained, the new hobbies, interests and skills that I developed that I want to include in my life. Se here are five things that helped me kickstart 2021:

Savor
Staring at a grey wall. That’s what I was doing. That’s what I had been doing for hours, perhaps weeks. It felt like months. I’d memorized every crack, every undulation in plaster, every blemish in the paint, and still, the page in front of me stayed resolutely blank.
