Reflection and Renewal for 2023

It's a new year, and with it brings a sense of hope and optimism. In this new year we are all faced with the task of reflecting on our past experiences and preparing to move forward with renewed vigor. Nowhere is this more true than in family law, where there are often decisions that need to be made- some easy, some difficult. As your family law attorney, I am here to help you navigate the challenges ahead and make sure you have all the necessary information needed to make informed decisions.

It’s important to take a few moments at the start of each year to reflect on past events or experiences that may have been difficult or painful. This can be helpful in understanding how we got to where we are now and what steps we can take to ensure that those same mistakes aren’t repeated in the future. Additionally, taking time for reflection can also be beneficial in identifying any successes achieved over the course of the past year which should be celebrated and built upon going forward.

As you look ahead into 2023 it’s important to remember that no matter what your situation, there is always power in renewal. This could mean making changes within yourself such as setting new goals or learning from mistakes made in 2022; or it could mean looking at ways to refresh your environment such as making physical changes around your house or looking for new opportunities outside your current circle. These kinds of changes often lead to positive outcomes down the road and can have a lasting impact on your life in 2023 and beyond.

No matter what type of legal challenge you may face, it’s important that you feel empowered when making decisions about your future. Working with an experienced family law attorney can provide peace of mind during these sensitive times as they will always strive to protect your rights while providing sound advice based on experience and knowledge in order for you make informed decisions about any legal matters that affect you or your family.

As we enter 2023 together, I encourage everyone within my circle—clients old and new—to take advantage of this fresh start by reflecting on their past experiences while also embracing opportunity for renewal through setting goals or seeking out change. Moreover, I am here so that each one of my clients feels empowered when making decisions about their futures knowing that they have access to guidance every step along the way! Here’s wishing everyone a healthy and prosperous 2023! Happy New Year!

Take care,

Lakisha.

It’s Time to Recharge...

The holidays are a time for family, friends, and loved ones. And while it's important to pour into those relationships, it's also important to make sure you're taking the time to recharge your own batteries. Here are three reasons why taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of others this holiday season.

1. You can't pour from an empty cup.

The first and most important reason to take care of yourself is that you can't pour from an empty cup. In order to take care of others, you have to make sure you're taking care of yourself first. When you're running on empty, it's impossible to be the best version of yourself for your loved ones. So, make sure you're taking the time to do things that make you happy and that help you relax. Whether that's getting a massage, going for a run, or just taking a few minutes each day to read or meditate, do what you need to do to make sure you're recharged and ready to take on the world.

As you know I loooove my hot yoga class every Sunday and I’ve started going back to the gym twice a week.It has really helped with my stress levels.I have more energy to get me through the day.

2. You deserve it.

Another important reason to focus on your own wellbeing this holiday season is because you deserve it! You work hard all year long, and the holidays should be a time for you to relax and enjoy yourself. So, don't feel guilty about taking some time for yourself—you've earned it! Use the long weekend to binge watch your favorite shows with your favorite blanket.I’m going to pull out my weighted blanket and watch Netflix.I’ve heard good things about the Watchers so I’m going all in….

3. It sets a good example for your loved ones.

Finally, another reason why taking care of yourself during the holidays is important is because it sets a good example for your loved ones. Just like you can't pour from an empty cup, your loved ones can't either. By making sure you're taking care of yourself, you're showing them that it's important to do so as well. And not only will they be better off for it, but so will you!

This holiday season, don't forget to take care of Yourself! Between work, family obligations, and other commitments, it's easy to let your own wellbeing fall by the wayside. But it's so important to make sure you're taking care of yourself so that you can be the best version of yourself for your loved ones. Here's to a happy and healthy holiday season!

Take care,

Lakisha.
