#SOL22 #OLW23 STEPS

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
-Lao Tzu

Step one: Dust off my blog. 

Well, it's been a hot minute since I've been here. Or 5 months? Somehow, somewhere along the way, I stopped writing. It's been a season of undoing, giving things up, stepping back, slowing down.  For so long, it was full steam ahead. Climb, strive, reach. And then, suddenly, I felt the need to just stop. To just be. And, I just wasn't sure what to write anymore. 

It's almost a new year, and so I decided this is the perfect time to take a step towards being a writer again. Or remembering how to put words out into the universe bravely. I've loved the tradition of selecting #OneLittleWord to guide and inspire your year. In December, maybe on a day where I was walking on the treadmill, I decided STEPS will be my word. The journey from one place to another is not made in a leap but in a series of many small steps. 

This year, I am taking steps towards self-acceptance and self-love. Towards health- physical and emotional. Steps towards connection and happiness. Steps to organize my environment. Steps in the direction of friendship, love, appreciation and growth. As Miley Cyrus sings, "Ain't about how fast I get there...Ain't about what's waiting on the other side...
It's the climb." Here's to the climb in 2023!
