Reflections: Life Lessons From 2017.
How did you spend New Year’s Eve?
Starting my day in church was an amazing decision. I also love the fact that Sunday is the last day in 2017 and it feels somewhat special.
During the service, I reflected so much that I even shed a few tears. I remembered my Dad and every other event that came with the second half of 2017.
There was no way I was going home all emotional so I decided I needed a treat and headed to the mall.
A movie, popcorn, red velvet doughnut and yoghurt forest icecream later, I was not so moody but aware and Thankful for how my year went.
I finally watched The Wedding Party 2 and a review should be on the blog next year.
2017 taught me so much, it came with a lot of lessons and I had no choice but to LEARN (even when I was not ready). In all, I am Thankful I was able to draw strenght from everyone that reached out and every inspirational words I heard and read.
Here are the major lessons I learnt from 2017 and I know that the next year will be so much easier to handle. I am totally hopeful.
- There will always be challenges but we will pull through.
- These challenges happen so that we can discover our purpose.
- Life is Beautiful if we live intentionally.
- Loyalty determines Family not blood.
- 2017 got me to draw a lot closer to God.
- I learnt to pay close attention to my instincts.
- 2017 made me realise how important it is to create beautiful memories.
- Keep your circle small guys. I cannot be happier that I do not have friendship drama to worry about.
- A supportive family is everything.
- Live a life of Gratitude.
2017 Summary on InstagramI feel like it helped that I had a Gratitude Challenge in December 2017. It made me consciously write out everything that I am grateful for and I am happy I was involved with that.
2017 will be over in a bit. Some countries are already in the New Year but whichever, Stay hopeful, better days are ahead and take care of yourself.

I seriously loved your gratitude challenge. I learned this year that there is always more room for love in my heart and that I can pursue my dreams and they can become a reality regardless of roadblocks that come along.
