Last Chance This Year

-

Holy Sh*t party people there are only 11 days left in 2020, 11 DAYS! Maybe less depending on when you read this. I know so many people are counting the days until 2020 is over, but honestly peeps, things aren’t going to change dramatically and magically once the clock strikes midnight on December 31st. The same shit you’re going through now will still be real. The same reasons you are grateful will still be true. Wishing away a bad year is like wishing away a pimple on picture day, it doesn’t go away just because we want it to.

The only way for the coming days, weeks, and the next year to get better is to make it better. We gotta deal with the hard stuff, revel in the good stuff, and make a choice that our life is worth it, because we are. So to end out this year instead of simply counting the days until 2021 arrives, use your final days.

My family made up this little joke, I don’t know how many years ago, that everything we did in the last week of the year would be our "last chance this year!!" And I mean EVERYTHING. Drinking a morning coffee, last chance this year! Cracking open a bottle of wine – well we gotta, it's our last chance this year. Going shopping and spending moolah we don’t have – last chance this year! It was a running joke.

I’m going to leave you with that thought and opportunity, what can you do for the last time this year? Let’s round out these last days of 2020 and seize our last chance.


Last chance this year….

Last chance to reach for joy and gratitude for everything you still have

Last chance to blare your fav playlist and boogie!

Last chance to yell that life isn’t fair

Last chance to wallow in your shit

Last chance to tell Someone what they mean to you

Last chance to complain about being stuck in the house with the SAME people

Last chance to be thankful for those you’ve been stuck in the SAME house with

Last chance to wake up to darkness and see the sun rise and light up the sky

Last chance to breathe that full belly breathe

Last chance to give your loved ones a hug (damn it hug those you wanna!)

Last chance to look back at this wild year and reminisce in the good and the bad

Last chance to be grateful for all the incredible things in your life

Last chance to make your peace with 2020

Last chance to support local - the HoliYAYs were pretty fun this year!

Last chance to say I love you

Last chance to perform that little act of kindness

Last chance to wake up with a steaming cup of coffee

Last chance to enjoy all the Christmas sweets and treats

Last chance to cry those big beautiful tears and release 2020

Last chance this year....what can you do for the last time this year?


And because Christmas is around the corner I’m not sending just one party jam but my entire Christmas playlist. Here’s a link to my Spotify Step Into Christmas playlist!

With so much gratitude,

I Don't Get An Opinion

Hey Party people, Remember  those tiny little gremlins  in our head I wrote about a couple weeks ago. That voice that tries to kill your dreams and feeds your excuses? Well they are wreaking havoc in my mind as I strive to become a better version of myself, and share it with others. I keep saying to myself that what I have to say doesn’t matter. My opinion carries no weight. No one cares what I share. I'm not struggling...so I don’t get an opinion! Its this never-ending loop of these tiny little gremlins that are growing into gargoyles. (Don’t ask where these analogies came from, I really don’t know myself haha). These negative thoughts discourage me and plant seeds of doubt and unworthiness. And its unfair the power these words have on my mindset. Fortunately, or unfortunately, these words only have the power I give them. Do you have tiny little gremlins eating away at you too?   As I go through each day and each week of this pandemic I’ve been trying t

Find Your Purpose

Hey Party People, I’m feeling a bit fiery in my heart right now despite feeling a little crappy in my body. I heard a question today that made me think – Could you imagine if you were going through this time without a purpose? And I wondered, how many of you feel that way? How many of you feel like you’ve lost your direction or lack any kind of purpose right now? Are you allowing yourself to drown in the unknown? Are you allowing yourself to just be pissed off all the time? Are you wallowing in the experiences you may have missed out on? If you are still sitting in those feelings we all felt in week one of COVID, its time to let it go. It is time to stop allowing this virus to control your life, your mindset, and your choices. I’m not saying you forget about how you felt, or the things you may have lost, but staying stuck in those emotions does not serve you. It can no longer be an excuse to watch Netflix or to start drinking at noon, or to eat take-out food every dang day.

Bring the Joy

Hey Party People, The Holiday season is upon us and I think most people are getting in the spirit earlier than usual. People have their Christmas lights up, trees decorated, and have started their holiday shopping. For me, I usually wouldn’t even be thinking about the holidays until at least December. Normally I’d be excited about a November vacation, away on that vacation, or paying the bills once I got home from that vacation haha. I wouldn’t shift my attention to the holidays until much later, but this year is different. As we all spend more time at home with our extracurriculars canceled, traveling out of the question, and just fewer things on our schedule, the opportunity to get into the Holiday spirit early is much easier. Anyone else feeling that? Or are you dreading the season ahead? I hope it’s the former. So what does Christmas mean to you? What do the holidays represent in your family? When you think about it are you immediately stressed, or excited? Does it spark ove
