Anyone else with me on this?! I spent some time throughout December and just now over the holidays, creating my own personal manifesto that I want to share with you.

Life pushes us to our limits and tests us. Sometimes we are able to control the messy situations and sometimes we can not prevent them. How we react to them is our responsibility. How we show up in our lives, at the times it is messiest, is on us.

How to recover when lightning strikes?! Life has an interesting way of teaching us lessons that we never knew we actually needed to figure out, often in the most unusual circumstances.

This is HARD work, people! Life-changing, HARD WORK!
