Happy New Year! Cheers to a 2017 filled with Abundance, Health, and Positive Vibes!

I stumbled upon this quote by Zero Dean recently and just had to share it, as it is just the most perfect set of words to start 2017. I won't go into detail, but this past year has been especially difficult for me in my personal life. It has been both the hardest and most rewarding. I have learned so much not only about myself, but I have also learned who truly cares and who does not. I have figured out what direction I want to go with my life, along with directions I definitely don't. I have had the opportunity to interact with and meet some seriously inspiring people. I have been touched by the genuine support that I have received from my closest loved ones and friends. I had some serious lows and days where I didn't know how to keep my head up. I have had anxiety and panic attacks for the first time ever in my life, but I have also learned to work through them with breathing techniques (4,7,8), essential oils, yoga, and beginning meditation.

I also decided to finally go back to school to study holistic health, nutrition, and herbalism, which I have been talking about for the past two years. I even made the Dean's List. I joined New Hope Network/Delicious Living Magazine's Natural Living Blogger CO-OP, and have had SO much fun being a part of that. There are so many amazing opportunities coming from the CO-OP in 2017, BTW! I can't wait to share :). The most amazing part of this year has been the drastic improvement of my Dad's health since he has been doing immunotherapy!

My point is, no matter how grim a situation is, if you focus on the good, more good things will continue to happen.

So, cheers to an amazing 2017 filled with good health, abundance, positivity, happiness, and peace!

Stay safe this NYE! Please don't drink and drive! Take public transportation, Uber/Lyft, a cab, call a sober friend, or have AAA toy your car for free New Year's Day!

See you next year :D!
