We lose an hour of the day, *but* we gain an extra hour of daylight. There is always a sign of hope to look for and I don’t know about you, but Spring forward is one of my favorite days of the year!  I still can’t believe it's been a year since the pandemic started and all of my Facebook memories remind me of how little I knew what was going to happen. I first lost my job, but then I lived the hardest journey of my life, losing my dad. But (there is always a *but*), I also gained a stronger sense of purpose & gratitude. ⭐️ I’m grateful I got to be a full-time mom during a time when working parents also had to be their children’s teachers & their work wanted them to do “business as usual.” ⭐️ I’m grateful I was able to travel to Mexico for 6 months and be present with my dad during the last months of his time on this earth & be present with my mom to support her during that time. ⭐️ I’m grateful for the friendships I made & all that I learned at my job prior to being laid off. ⭐️ I’m grateful for the time and presence I was able to have with my son, Lennon, while all this chaos was going on. ⭐️ I’m grateful for life reminding me, once again, to follow my heart and do the things I know I’m destined to do even if it feels scary at first. In all the ways these events could have unfolded, I can’t think of another way in which I would have wanted it to happen. One of my favorite Tony Robbins quotes is, “Life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you.” I truly believe life is what you make it and if you look for the silver linings, you will find them. I took my layoff as an opportunity to work in my own business. I’m currently working on this logo & brand identity redesign for an amazing client.

What kind of silver linings have you come across over the past year? If you feel up to sharing, hit “reply” to tell me more. I love hearing from you. Love, Karla
