ブレンダさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ブレンダInstagram)「2022 was an auspicious year full of new opportunities, travel, and reconnecting with people (and places) that I hadn’t seen in years. So many precious moments spent with family and friends, near and far. It was also a year of heartbreak and loss. There was a huge shift in the lives of my family brought on by the passing of my mother. It’s said that profound grief can change a person’s psychology and personality forever. That’s been true for me. My world feels different, not worse or better but forever changed. It’s hard to explain in a few words but from that grief and pain came growth and wisdom. I’ve learned to love more deeply, to be more vocal in expressing love and gratitude, to be more forgiving (to others and myself), and... to slow down. Life always felt too short to waste a single moment doing “nothing”. But in solitude I found peace. From meditation, I found strength and new purpose. Life can also be very long and we need to take care of our minds and bodies, each other and our home 🌍. I’m so eternally grateful for all the wonderful people in my life. You are my ikigai. For 2023, I just want to keep on moving (which can be achieved even in stillness☺️🙏🏻). Wishing everyone the best for the new year (even if it’s just to keep moving, to keep going) 🎊🥳❤️」1月3日 8時41分
