FINALLY. GOODBYE 2020-HELLO 2021

 FINALLLY.  GOODBYE 2020-HELLO 2021

As they say in Hollywood..................................IT'S A WRAP.

2020 has been the longest, the shortest and the most insane year of my 54 years of LIFE.

Started 2020 the sickest that I have ever been. 

Just came back from five weeks in New York  with family and receiving life changing news. I also managed to get a bucket list trip to Cuba in as well. I returned to Utah where for the first thirteen days of the year I was SICK.

We were off season, so it was extremely slow. My wanderlust and self doubts about if I made the right decision to stay was really making my question everything. I mean EVERYTHING.

We closed out the end of January with the news of Kobe Bryant his daughter and seven others losing their lives in a helicopter crash in Calabasas . My old neighborhood. CRAZY. 

The World mourned with Los Angeles as Kobe was an LA institution. Crazy, sad days of GLOBAL MOURNING.

The next six-eight weeks I was feeling much more myself. Excited about the season beginning, I decided I was going to stay for one more season at Zion Mountain Ranch.

Well the world had OTHER PLANS  As word of a GLOBAL PANDEMIC CALLED COVID-19 began to literally SHUT  DOWN THE WORLD.

We all know how that has played out. I lost my job and home in the same conversation. I was given a couple days to pack up my belongings and head out.  Head out where? At that point who knew.

To say this year has been CHALLENGING would not even begin to describe for so many.

This year has come at such a HIGH COST. FIGURATIVELY, EMOTIONALLY,SPIRITUALLY,FINANCIALLY & MENTALLY.  The loss has been unfathomable to SO MANY. 

So many will never recover from this. I could go on and on. I am so disgusted with the US Government. 

ZERO LEADERSHIP.

Every other country has been following guidelines, taking care of their citizens except, YOU GUESSED IT. The good ole USA. $1200 stimulus for TEN MONTHS. Sending people to the streets. 

IT IS PATHETIC. MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL ON THE PLANET IS THE WHITE MAN. 

We are at a very teachable moment in history. WE ARE FAILING. It is SAD & DISGUSTING.

Throughout this Pandemic families have sent their families to the hospital to NEVER SEE THEM ALIVE AGAIN. This is where we are in the World.  INSANE.

Lots of lessons learned during 2020. RESILIENCE being one of them. 

I personally have been tested to the point of my mental well being coming into question. Many times throughout this year I have felt thatI have been on the verge of a breakdown.

People think that my life is all glamorous and say they envy the life journey that I am on. I say to them to live in my head for a minute and they would think differently and want a REFUND. LOL.

My struggles are my struggles not nearly as challenging as some, but still they are challenges.

HOPING & TRUSTING things get better in 2021 for ALL OF US. 

2020has been filled with LESSONS & AWAKENINGS for so many.

This year we also watched George Floyd being murdered on NATIONAL TELEVISION. 

People all over the world took to the streets in support of the injustice that exists. I happened to be out there traveling while this was happening and was able to document this through my photography.

There has been a LUNATIC who hijacked the White House four years ago for his own PERSONAL INTEREST.

He has pardoned all of his criminal friends. But the Kool-aide drinkers. SEVENTY MILLION PLUS of them STILL CHOSE HIM. THAT IS SOMETHING I WILL NEVER WRAP MY HEAD AROUND. NEVER.

Thank God there has/is an overwhelming majority of people. who live in this country who care about OTHER PEOPLE & AMERICA working for ALL AMERICANS. 

The seventy million plus KOOL-AIDE DRINKERS vote against their own interests. As someone who is interested in psychology I find it all FASCINATING & TERRIFYING.

45 is a disgusting pig along with his whole family. But what the past four years has done is introduced us to the misguided people within our families , friends and communities.  VERY EYE OPENING. WOW.

Personally this has been a difficult year with much loss from both death and death of family and friends and the loss of friendships that are NO MORE.  At least two. one of twenty-five years and one of forty.

2020 has taught me LIFE IS PRECIOUS & TIME IS NOT GUARANTEED.

DO NOT WASTE  TIME OR ENERGY. LESS IS MORE.

SELF CARE IS ESSENTIAL, BE KIND & SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THOSE PEOPLE AND TINGS THAT YOU ARE NOURISHED BY.

BE GONE 2020 THANK YOU FOR YOUR LESSONS.

HELLO 2021 I LOOK FORWARD TO THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENTER A NEW YEAR AND TRUST IN THE JOURNEY OF THE UNKNOWN. 

My heart goes out to everyone who  has and is suffering  loss. Hoping you find a source of strength in 2021 to carry on. 

We are almost one year into the PANDEMIC. 

83.4 MILLION CASES WORLDWIDE

1.82 MILLION DEATHS WORLDWIDE

2.1 MILLION CASES USA

344 THOUSAND PLUS CASES AND COUNTING DEATHS. INSANE. 

REST IN PEACE TO ALL THOSE LOST.

PLEASE BE DILIGENT TO KEEP YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND ALL OF US SAFE. WE STILL HAVE DARK DAYS AHEAD OF US. 

BUT I TRUST THE LIGHT WILL SHINE AGAIN. 

THANK YOU ALL. MUCH LOVE.
