Boho Berry January Check-In, Day Thirty-One: Lessons Learned

31
Karma always catches up with people.

Even if the sidewalk looks clear, I will find the ONE icy spot to slip and fall.

Self-criticism
Procrastinating

Performing random acts of kindness
Not letting other people's negative attitudes bring me down.

Always be true to myself.

Boho Berry January Check-In, Day Twelve: Letter To Future Me

12

Dear Teresa,
As I write this, the last few weeks have been tough on you emotionally. Don't let that change who you are. Continue to love those who matter to you, to forgive instead of holding grudges, and to pray for the best outcome in every situation. 
Keep writing and journaling every day. It might not seem like much, but there are people who enjoy/look forward to what you post, and who are looking forward to reading your autobiography when you finish it. If you can touch even ONE life, you've made a difference.
You are valuable. You are capable. You are worthy.
Keep reaching for the best you that you can be.

Love,
Teresa
