Personal post. What did I learn in 2014? I’ve learned gratitude. I am grateful for all my experiences—good and bad—that helped me face my flaws and shed light on strong points I never thought I had—and have catapulted me to change, grow, take more risks and live life on my own terms. I am grateful for every single person who entered (and left) my life this past year—to teach me or challenge me to take off my masks and live authentically. I am grateful for all the many mistakes, obstacles, failures and disappointments in 2014 which turned out to be little prepackaged gifts from Obanga (God)—to teach me how to change my perspective, be more positive and most importantly, be deliberate about every step I take or choice I make moving forward. I am grateful to everyone who said “no”, “you can’t do that”, rejected me, dismissed me or even underestimated me (thank you! thank you! thank you!) because it taught me to be (even more) stubborn, push harder, work more, do it myself sometimes or find different way…and ultimately find new circles, new support systems or discover new communities where I am uplifted, where I flourish…I am grateful for allowing myself not to be hardened by obstacles but continue to stay open and receptive to learning and growth. I am grateful for the biggest lesson of all—to fully be myself—however goofy, quirky, nerdy, imperfect and beautifully flawed —and know that it’s enough because it’s all of me, its who I am. #Gratitude
