The only question of importance for this last day of 2020

The only question of much importance on the last day of the year is did I bring my whole self to this year? Included in this question are the following subcategories concerning wholeness.

Was I bold enough?

Did I bring my voice, my truth to my work? 

Did I ask for help when I needed it? (Or even before I knew I needed it…that point of knowing that synergy is way more effective than solo.)

Did I love fiercely? 

Did I laugh lovingly at myself for the mistakes made?

Did I cry at the pain of life cut too short – be that human, creature, or tree?

Did I hold my love tightly, often, and with exquisite tenderness?

Did I dare to find my voice when it felt risky?

Did I smile at too many strangers to remember?

Did I check in regularly with my family? Was I available?

Did I hold out my hand, my heart, my spirit in support of another every day?

Did I do what I said I would do?

Did I apologise when I messed up?

Did I forgive others for their messing up?

Did I regularly, daily, fall to my knees in gratitude for life. For my being alive. For the kiss of the sun on my cheek and the touch of the salty wave on my skin?

Did I apply myself, the best of myself, to everything I chose to do? 

Was I kind? To me, to you, to the lost, broken, the crazy?

Did I dance, sing, go bare foot, eat healthy alive prepared with love food? 

Did I love, and love and love?
