Yes, 2020, to me, felt like the year of the Elephant.
2020 has been a powerful year, as powerful as an elephant.
First we had to deal with the totally new concept of lockdown. Caged, like a circus elephant.
Those first few weeks felt like a holiday, but then the guilt set in about how we are able to have a holiday in March. It just didn't feel right.
Then the realisation that there would be no income..and the bills weren't taking a holiday. That felt like facing a charging elephant.
The following weeks was a condensed 24 months gestation period. We had to huddle and make plans, be creative and birth plans about how to keep our heads above water. There were no fast and easy solutions..it was a painful process of giving birth to financial survival strategies. The financial burden became so heavy that it felt like an elephant sat on us.
We had choice, are we going to be swept away by this river of negativity or be brave and wade through the river.. Then, a solution came. We raised our trunks into the air and breathed deeply, while wading through a very deep river. We still haven't finished crossing the river, but we're still breathing deeply and the river bank is in sight. That vegetation on that river bank is green and lush. We finally have hope and a future. What will carry us through are our power elephant legs and a hunger to succeed.
All and all, 2020 has been the worst and best year. To new beginnings and a future!
