‘Cause you know we all have the “Best Life Ever” on the ‘Gram! The tears, anger, sadness, loneliness, depression, insecurities, shame, anxiety, frustration, grief, etc...are all tucked away and behind me now...and all that I have to show for 2020 are wonderful Instagram Moments of Happiness! All things considered, it was still a pretty good year with lots of self-reflection, channelling inner strength, enjoying nature, practicing yoga and meditation, strengthening relationships, and focusing on gratitude.
