July has always been a significant month for me. Three members of my family's birthdays are in July. My birthday comes first, my late father's birthday was 2 days afterward and my late sister's birthday rounded the month on the 31st.
Some difficult things happened in July as well that made me realize that it is truly a month of completion and birthing for me. My mother died in July and I got divorced by the end of the same month. I experienced those two major losses that shifted my life forever.
I have learned that life happens and everything that happens comes to teach us something we really need.
Five life lessons I want to share this July:
1. Life will never be perfect. Start living and enjoying it.
2. People will try to make you feel guilty for matching their energy. Speak up anyway.
3. My worth comes from my truth not from someone's opinion, expectations, or approval.
4. Make decisions and choices that serve your highest good.
5. I love the company of good friends and family...and I love mine too.
