2021. The year of Sisterhood

I’m not going to try and find something new to say about 2020. It would be redundant, truly. Everything that could be said already has been, and anything new I might be able to come up with would only relate to a miniscule amount of people.

Everyone experienced it differently. Everyone’s hardships, challenges, and even wins were different, and no two individuals, families, business-owners, or employees were alike. All I can say is, if you experienced loss, pain, loneliness, discouragement, or anything trying this year… you have healing ahead, and a woman right here ready to help you find it.  

What got me through this year was, without a doubt, sisterhood.

All the women in my life, my literal sisters included, kept me surrounded by what I can only describe as a constant bear hug. They lifted me up when I needed to love myself, encouraged me through spiritual questions and discoveries (which are ongoing, don’t be convinced otherwise. More on that later), and I never lacked a sister to turn to when I needed a laugh, a hug (sometimes virtually), advice, or thought-provoking conversation. It’s what filled  my soul this year – more than anything else.

I had personal goals and hopes for 2020: I so deeply wanted to write consistently, and pursue more art. I kept waiting for an idea to come to me, or a vision for the blog to be sparked, but neither came. So, with creative inspiration lacking, I instead spent a lot of my time nurturing my relationships, trying my hardest to be intentional with the women in my life, and filling their souls the way they fill mine.

Listen, I was far from perfect at this. Like everything good in life it’s something that takes practice, but 2020 gave me a lot of time to do that. I put my frustrations about not knowing what to do with the blog and personal hobbies aside and focused on the physical people in my life. And guess what? The reward was more than I ever could have imagined.

It was sisterhood. Pure, wonderful, honest, unapologetic sisterhood.

And it’s something I want for every woman who wants it too.

In 2021, this is a space where you can find it. I’m here to lift you up; encourage your healing, personal growth, spiritual questions, discoveries, and the like; and to be a friend when you need to laugh, cry, or ask for help. I hope you find ground here, common or otherwise. I hope you find topics you can relate to. And I hope 2021 is your year.
