New Year, Queer Eye, Oh My!

Isn’t the space between Christmas, News Year’s and ‘real life’ starting up again the first week of January, an interesting time? As I sit on my couch in my pajamas, with cozy socks under 4 blankets (it’s a balmy -26 outside today!) I’m soaking in all the feels watching Queer Eye on Netflix. There has not been an episode yet that I haven’t cried in and I would just like to think that we would be best friends in real life.

Things that I’ve been reminded of:

“Being vulnerable isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of STRENGTH.” —Karamo Brown

“The best gift is CONNECTION.” —Jeremiah Brent

“You’re deserving of having your MOMENT.” —Antoni Porowski

“You being your TRUE SELF isn't going to offend anybody. It's very unlikely that people are going to cause you an issue just because you are being yourself. And if they're concerned, that's on them. You're happy.” —Tan France

"You can't selectively numb feelings. So, if you try to numb the vulnerability, you also numb JOY, happiness, connection." —Jonathan Van Ness

If January is already making you feel overwhelmed and you are seeing all the 2024 in review and thinking you should have accomplished goals and new years resolutions… friendly reminder….it’s ok not to have it all together.

But what I do want for you is for you, is to know….What do you need right now?

It might be to cozy up and watch Netflix, perhaps you are dreaming about your business and really want to set some goals, maybe you need to dust off the journal and put your thoughts down on paper, maybe you just need to stop and get yourself an ice cold diet coke just because!

With JOY,
