I’m super excited to be participating in Bloganuary, a month long blogging challenge. (You can join, too – the more the merrier!) Today’s prompt:

What advice would you give to your teenage self?

Oh, goodness. I’m not sure my teenage self would have listened. But I would have told her to embrace her quirkiness; it’s something to celebrate, not something to be hidden. And to focus on the moment, and not try to plan so far in advance, because things will change in ways that you can’t even imagine.

Advice that I loved that my teenage self embraced, without being told, was embracing every opportunity that came her way, and defaulting to “yes” not “no.” Here’s to another year of “yes!” Happy 2022!
