I want 'to be” someone who shares and embodies love. I want 'to be” grounded like a tree even when in the middle of a storm. I want 'to be” able to know how to say no and stick to boundaries. I want 'to be” open to learning and listening without defensiveness. I want 'to be” a better listener– period! I want 'to be” more organized and responsible, as well as keeping my spontaneous free spirit. I want 'to be” thriving not surviving. I want 'to be” savoring the moments of the day rather than going through the motions (even in Covid time–!). I want 'to be” someone who always remembers to believe and trust in the bigger plan.
