This year has been a year filled with contrast, for each and every one of us. We've taken a path as a whole, whilst also each of us taking our own individual path, and there cannot be a single one of us whose life has not been changed by all that has happened, and is currently still happening. 

I for one have embraced the years events, and don't get me wrong, I am not implying at all that it has been plain sailing, in fact nothing could be further from the truth. However what this year has given me, is the ability to remain calm and at peace despite whatever may be going on around me. It's something I've been 'working' toward for a few years (and I should point out I'm not saying that I will never again be afraid, or upset, or negative) but this year has thrown so much at all of us, that it offered us the opportunity for huge growth and expansion.

It has shown me that experiencing contrast of any kind is always beneficial, even if it doesn't feel like it at the time. It has shown me that every cloud does indeed have a silver lining, and it has shown me that we can choose the direction of our thoughts and we will always be supported by the universe with whatever thoughts we choose.

Much of this I already knew in theory, but they were just words. So much has happened for me this year that these 'words' have taken on a whole new meaning, and now I 'feel' a resonance with them at my very core.

Life is wonderful, always has been, always will be, you just have to believe in yourself x
