January 2016 was rough for me. Coming back to work after maternity leave is always rough... Not knowing where you'll be next year makes it even rougher... For once in my life, the support of my family & friends wasn't enough and I had to seek help from a counselor. Even then, I suffered from my first panic attacks and swinging emotions. It is so hard to stay motivated and positive when you are so disheartened... and I found out how strong & how fragile I am. In some ways, I wish 2016 hadn't happened but, it has built me stronger and honed my focus.
2017 will be transitional year for me. I look to the Pope, the Dalai Lama, and oddly Frank Raegan from Blue Bloods. Stay positive. Find solutions. Rise above the fray. Most of all I will be a voice to the voiceless. I will make sure that I am heard and a part of these difficult conversations that will be coming up. I am ready now, so thank you 2016.
