A blank page. That is what the new year is to me. As someone who works hard to live in the moment, I love what a fresh year means. A chance to move on. To forget about past mistakes and disappointments. After all, dwelling on these things wastes our energy. It is best if we merely learn from them and then let them go.

2016 was the year I learned to have more patience. The year I learned to cut myself some slack. The year I understood that worrying about things doesn’t help, and so I try to do less of that (though it is still a struggle some days).

I am so excited for 2017 and the possibilities it represents. And whatever your hopes and dreams, I’m excited for you to achieve them too. Whatever your goals and ambitions, as long as they are framed by love and hope, the world is a better, brighter place. Let’s shine together.

xoxo, Alisha

PS. I have a few big announcements in store, so stay tuned!
