HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It is hard for me to believe that another year has passed.  This is a time of year that I both love and dread.  On the one hand, it is an opportunity to look at how far I have come in the last year.  It is a time to appreciate the areas of my life in which I have taken a step closer to fulfilling my dreams, becoming the woman I wish to be in this world. But the flip side of this is being able to acknowledge the areas in my life where I have fallen short, where I have made promises to change and have not, where I have tried and failed, and where I have lost faith.

I have a lot to be grateful for in the last year.

I have stepped into living my passion full time. I have done a lot of heavy lifting in the last year, moving outside of my comfort zone, challenging my false beliefs about who I am and what I am capable of doing.  One of the biggest lessons and areas of growth for me has been learning that I do not need to do it alone.  I am learning to use the people in my life as resources, allowing them to help me in the same way that they have allowed me to be there for them.

It is hard for me to admit, but I have spent most of my life believing that I am meant to go through life alone, being a resource to all those who want and need me, but not being able to give the same gift to myself. Life can be funny that way.

One of the true gifts I have been able to give myself over the last two years, and especially in the last year, is embracing that I need more help to reach my goals, seeking out those who can help me on my journey.  I have had the honor, and mostly pleasure (no one said change is easy), of working with two phenomenal coaches, one on my personal life and one on developing my business.

What I have learned is it is never too late!  There is nothing we cannot change or improve. The only questions is: how much do we want to change and what are we willing to give up in order to make it happen.

So my question to you is: What aspects of your relationship with your daughter do you wish were different? Are there times you wish you responded differently or made a different choice? What is your vision and dream for what your relationship with your daughter could look like? What are you hoping to change in the coming year? What action are you going to take TODAY to make this a reality?

As we enter into this New Year together, I want to thank each and every one of you for being a part of my story. Whether we have had the chance to connect in person, or through email and social media (and if we have not, I hope we do in the coming year), it has been an honor that you have allowed me into your life.  I hope that in some way I have been able to contribute to opening the lines of communication between you and your daughter.

Wishing us all a year of love, joy, happiness and successful communication.

Much love and support,
Tova
