This or something better.

I’ve been dealing with a lot of loss recently.♥️

As many of you know, the results of my first lost election will be made official this week. And while I feel like I was just getting started after being appointed to Council last year, I’m not taking that loss personally.

Especially when it’s not the only loss I’m currently moving through. It just happens to be the most public.

Since November started I’ve been facing loss in so many deeply personal and professional capacities. And when you can feel that loss coming, like I did so many of the ones I’m dealing with now, it makes gratitude so much more necessary to move forward.

While feeling those losses coming and knowing we receive more by being grateful for what we have, I kept reminding myself of a mantra I was recently introduced to; this or something better.

This or something better.

Recognizing the experience, giving gratitude for the opportunity, being present in the moment of knowing what goodness this was. And relishing in the fact that if this isn’t it, something so much better is coming.

I’m not for hiding the hard parts of life from social media, or leaving it out of my writing, so I’m not saying all of this loss so suddenly has been easy. I am human after all.

However I am also the self-proclaimed queen of silver linings and I know I am destined for more. I know something better is coming.

I am abundant and worthy.
I make anything I want happen.
I move with grace and kindness.
I trust the process.

It’s not arrogant, its not ego, it’s knowing.
I know something better is coming.✨
