This time of year often depresses me. My worries and self-doubt often shout a bit louder and it can take it's toll. I can't even look at social media anymore without entering into that downward spiral that boils down to "I'm not good enough" or "I'm not trying hard enough". A toxic mindset and I know it.

So this week I drew my own motivational poster. My spin on the "Hang in There" cat. Olivia, telling me exactly the words I want to hear. But these words are for anyone that reads them, not just me.

You matter, your dreams matter, and just know that someone out there believes in you.

I'll be taking a break for the remainder of the year as I will be traveling to spend Christmas with my family. See you in January.
