What’s the hardest thing you’ve done this year?

– Saying no to that scrummy donut 🍩

– Waking early to do my crossfit every day 🏋️‍♀️

– Not getting too hung up about teenage messiness 🙄

Yes, those are tough, but not really.

No, dig deeper.

What did you do that has been incredibly hard and difficult but you did it anyway?

Alexandra Klein, one of my favourite human beings on the planet, says it was trying to stay true to herself.

This is hard – when your principles are tested… Do you walk your talk?

Or are you just full of hot air? 🎈

I believe the measure of character is when you make a stand, knowing you have much to lose.

Your job.

Your relationship.

Your status symbol.

Feeling rock solid in your values, you make a stand to…

Saying no.

Protecting space.

Honouring your truth. 🌹

That is the definition of #DoingHardThings.

And staying true to ourselves and our values when the #ohana values of our ecosystem seem to be crumbling before our eyes…

That’s true character.💪🏻

Thank you for fighting for the community and lifting us up Alexandra, I for one, know what an uphill battle that can be.

You’ve been such an amazing friend, professionally and personally too! Having sprog 3 think the world of you makes me happy! 🥰

Dear readers, If you’ve been following me, you’ll know that my reflections this year has been on parenting, because having teen sprogs losing their baby tails and growing legs that’ll bounce them into adulthood has been such an eye opening experience for me. 🐸

(yes I know I’m mangling my metaphors! 😁)

What about you?

What’s the hardest thing you’ve done this year?
