My 20 lessons of 2020. 1. Uncertainty is the only certainty. (And taxes) 2. If we don’t learn to bend-we will break. When the waves won’t let up- learn to surf. 3. Anxiety is contagious.... 4. It’s paramount that I surround myself with people that lift me up. 5. I don’t need as many clothes as I though my I did. 6. When you learn the lesson the first time-you don’t have to retake the class. I DO NOT need a redo of 2020. 7. Walking my dog brings me daily satisfaction. 8. I’ve underestimated my privilege. 9. I miss traveling more than I ever thought was possible. Looking at photos of my international travels has brought me to tears. 10. When we are depressed and anxious our perception of the World is narrowed. 11. Image and status DO NOT MATTER. 12. My kids teach me how to be a better person. 13. There is NO other beast like grief and loss. 14. It is our job to take care of each other. 15. There is no shame in asking for help. 16. I will never completely understand the human sacrifices that built this country. 17. Faith, friends and prayer got me through this year. 18. Vulnerability is the hallmark of raw connection. 19. Podcasts are underrated. 20. All roads lead back to good therapy. See more
