2021 was a really hard year for everyone.
Despite the reopening of shops and travel we were all still suffering from the challenges of extreme isolation and uncertainty.
So many of us struggled with depression, fear and anxiety.
The increase in anger and rage within our society was palpable.
Ideological polarization added to the dis ease and fear.
Moments of silent reflection were lost to the distractions of a distressed and restless world.
We got more questions than answers.
Our bodies and souls paid the price.
We all experienced the upwelling of harsh realizations about our own personal realities.
We wrestled to maintain our health and wellness.
Careers and relationships were in flux.
There were more endings than new beginnings.
Each and every one of us struggled with something personally profound that demanded our care and attention.
And yet despite the myriad of challenges we all hung in there.
We all made some kind of shift or change for the better.
Even if it was the slightest change in a new and better direction, it was a change and you made it happen.
We are finally at the finish line of one of the most punishing years in our collective history.
Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and give yourself a pat on the back.
You made it!
