Ciao, Bella!

This was the perfect shirt to wear today—in Italian, ‘ciao’ means goodbye and hello!

I am immensely grateful for 2020, she was good to me. I learned SO much this year, I grew so much this year. I was blessed with an enormous amount of gifts, both big and small, in the form of love, friendships, togetherness, space, clarity, truth, and wisdom.

I’m so ready to say hello AND goodbye!

• Hello to faith, goodbye to fear.
• Hello to investing in myself, goodbye to seeing myself as a “cost.”                         
• Hello to prosperity, goodbye to scarcity.
• Hello to health, goodbye to disease.
• Hello to responsibility, goodbye to victim.
• Hello to business, goodbye to busy-ness.
• Hello to communication, goodbye to complaining.
• Hello to acceptance, goodbye to ignorance.
• Hello to visibility, goodbye to hiding.
• Hello to living, goodbye to surviving.

It’s time for all of us to decide whether we’re going to step into opportunity this year, or stay paralyzed in fear.

I spent a lot of time thinking about how fear creeps into my life and into my business without me even noticing. It’s amazing how we can easily and quickly slip into a comfortable habit for so long that you look back at another year and say, “why didn’t I start that podcast yet?” 

We’ve all been telling ourselves stories, our whole lives, about who we are and who we should be. Some stories are passed down, some we acquire along the way. But if we don’t pay close enough attention to the stories we tell ourselves, we don’t give ourselves the chance to rewrite the ones that don’t make sense anymore. 

Truth is, that’s all they are: stories. While they feel true, they probably are not true for every single person in every single instance—and if they’re not true then, they don’t have to be true for you.

In 2021, I hope you dare to dream, and then dream a little bigger. I hope you take a look at the stories you’ve been telling yourself, then lovingly say goodbye. Get out your favorite pen and a fresh sheet of paper, and begin writing new stories. For yourself, yes, but also for your family and the people you’re meant to impact in this life.

Fear is a good thing, but only if you use it. Don’t let it use you.

I’ll be working on this, too! So let’s continue to encourage each other and rise like a tide together.

Tell me… What are you ready to say ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye’ to? Claim it now, what you set your mind to will become a reality. It’s up to you! 

Wishing you a year full of everything you want and nothing that you don’t.

Ciao, Bella! 😘
