2016 helped me find myself, 2016 was a crazy year for me. It was a year full of heartache, emotion, happiness and also full of adventure. This year was also you're full of lessons and accomplishments. I will always be able to look back on 2016 as the year that shaped me into the woman I wanted and needed to become. I have learned that if you want something, stop waiting on someone else to get it for you, and don't always require validation from someone. "The best thing a woman can have is her act together". After all, we are who we choose to be. You got to save yourself. Nobody knows what you want, except you, and no one will be as sorry as you if you don't get it, never give up on your dreams.

Close to the New Year, we always hear the saying "New Year, New me" Why is that? And what does that even mean? The past year was a waste? You didn't like who you were the past year? You made a few mistakes? Bad decisions?

Here's the thing... every second. Every day. Every mistake. Every bad decision. Every bad thing that happened to you, changed you. Had some kind of effect on you.

2016 molded me into a passionate, pretty, opinionated, independent, and strong woman. I've experienced a lot, and I'm not finished experiencing bad times, nor good times because this is life and that's what you have to do. I'm not where I need to be, but I think God I'm not where I used to be. You got to let go of the things that you tried to hold onto you for so long that are no longer good for you.

But why change any of that? Why want a "New You" in the New Year? This past year molded you into the person you need to be. Don't change that, most of all don't change who you are..

You are worthy. You are enough.
