THE YEAR 2020

One day, you will look back and see that along you were blooming.

Morgan Harper Nichols

2020 : a challenging year to say the least, where we all have experienced loss one way or another. Loss of what was once familiar. Loss of our sense of “freedom”, as vacation plans, restaurants outings were being cancelled and we were called to shelter at home. Loss of our businesses. Loss of our jobs. But, the hardest part of it all, was the loss of millions of humans lives.

Despite its challenges, 2020 offered us something we didn’t know we needed. 

We learned to be resilient, to put the need of our community above ours. We learned to smile with our eyes and connect with our neighbours we were once to busy to chat with. We learned to put love in action through acts of kindness, generosity. We learned to be creative and spend the quality time, we were desperately crying for, with our loved ones. 

We were forced to stop our fast paced lives and appreciate the beauty of the stillness around us.

2020 opened our eyes to some racial issues that were deeply rooted in our society and as a black woman, I’ve never been prouder of my melanin skin, of my brothers and sisters around the world, who rose up to speak against racial injustice.

At the beginning of the year, we were talking about 2020 vision. And I truly believe that if we look closely, we did get that 2020 vision: to see what was there all along, buried deep inside us. 

“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?…”

Isaiah 43:19

As we close the year, I want to encourage all of us to embrace all the good that 2020 has brought us and to realize that all along, despite the hardships, despite the heartbreaks, you were blooming.

Until next time,

xoxo
