Episode 65: Solocast on 365 Days

April 8, 2021April 6, 2021 ~ Michelle D ~ Leave a comment

Today is my birthday, and I’m releasing a solo episode reflecting on 365 days. I’ve journaled and blogged a lot over the years, and thought it would be a fun trip down memory lane to read some old entries of a journal I wrote in over 8 years ago. I entitled it 365 Days of Zen because at the time, I was reading a book of daily quotes from mindfulness leader, Thich Nhat Hanh. When we are in the moment and feeling overwhelmed, it is challenging to remember how far we have come. I don’t like to look “backwards” often, but when I do take a moment to reflect on and read some of the things I’ve written years ago, it is a gentle reminder that yes, I have come a long way. I hope that you enjoy listening to some of my old writings! And yes, today I am allowing myself to celebrate ME!
