2020 was a strange year for us all - but I can't help but look back on it as a year of growth and for the most part, positive change. Despite the difficulties and strain, I've seen so many people persevere with resilience and hope. That's how I want to remember it. The most important things that come to my mind when I reflect on the past year... 

-A solid circle of people I truly trust has been a must - though its hard letting go of people who do not serve your soul, this makes way for those who are in line with your journey. And I've met some incredibly positive and supportive genuine people. -Strength through the fear of change. I really felt that fear - and still do! Perks of anxiety. But I've learned to challenge myself more than ever when it comes to creating the life I want to live. -Self-care and self-love. Doesn't come easily when you're conditioned to think serving others is all about self-sacrifice. To have opened my eyes more than ever to the fact that I serve better when I feel love towards myself is something I'm extremely grateful for. -Doing what I love most despite lockdown was the most wonderful gift. To be professionally acting unless you're an a-lister is already a feast-or-famine situation so I feel very blessed to have continued my acting career throughout covid. And my heart has been so full every time I see a fellow artist working and creating work as well. Nothing has brought me more joy than being part of such a great support system of incredibly hard-working artists despite the odds. -My family are healthy and I have been lucky enough to have spent time with them for Christmas and other important occasions. -And the basics of course - I have a roof over my head, food in my fridge and plenty of passion in my heart with hope for the future. 2020 should not be seen as a year that came without loss, fear, uncertainty and hardship - but I can honestly say that I'm counting every blessing that came with it. It revealed the things that truly matter in this world. Compassion, strength, family, friends, creativity, love, acceptance and hope. I wish you all a truly prosperous 2021 ✨❤️

I am a blessed woman with an incredible dad! This was taken at my wedding just 4 months after his heart surgery - this moment being witnessed by him was a miracle from my Heavenly Father! Look at those eyes, my papa bear is a marshmallow and I love him. #godisfaithfultome #countingtheblessings #iamblessed #livenow
