But let's try to not repeat the last two years by taking the time to do things that we love is important – not only for our short-term happiness, but also for our mental and emotional well-being. Here are a few reasons why doing something that you love each day is important.

What a year! Looking back, here are the things we did together:

I was 25 when...   I couldn’t move my legs after laying down for a nap. I couldn’t understand why. Why someone my age, weighing 120lbs, with a fast metabolism and somewhat healthy eating habits, would have any kind of health issues.

You simply can’t pour creativity out of an empty cup. Whatever you are full of at any given moment is the thing that will spill out the next time to attempt to do your work. Rather than lending your internal real estate to anxiety, resentment and worry - fill it with something that generates creative energy and invention.

Think about it like this: if you knew you couldn't fail, who would you be? Where would you go? And what would you do?

In 2018, I began blogging from an internal need to record and share my process. Motherhood, while the greatest accomplishment of my life, shook my creative identity like nothing I’d experienced before. Time was no longer on my side. I was more tired, more emotional and I wondered how many women out there also felt this way?

For me, this meant refocusing my energy and time on something else. I needed to find myself again, but slowly. As they say, Rome wasn't built in one day. I purposefully took one day a week to observe myself. In other words, I did a happiness audit and that's when it happened.
