Reflecting on the year 2020

Recently on Sheri’s Dream Catcher’s Instagram Sip N Think Live Chat held on December 30th, 2020, our topic of discussion was reflecting on the year 2020. First we looked at our comfort zone, where the magic happens and the space between the two. Next we looked at the meaning of 2020. Specifically, is it 2020 vision or in other words equal vision? What do you think?

Reflections on the year 2020
Envision Dream Reflections Back Pack

Here is a list of 2020 reflections discussed on our Sip N Think Chat

  1. Australia Wild Fires that burned a record 47 acres killing more than a billion animals.
  2. NBA Legend Koby Bryant and his 13 old daughter Gianna and seven others were killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California.
  3. Harvey Weinstein was convicted of rape and sexual assault in New York destroying his career and gave rise to the #metoo movement.
  4. Global Pandemic where the whole world went on house arrest, toilet paper was raided from all the shelves, people we love dying, the economy went to shit, etc.
  5. George Floyd was brutally killed by a police officer which ignited riots and protests around the world bringing the racism and police brutality to light even more than ever before in history.
  6. Murder Hornets were discovered flying around us in the state of Washington
  7. Desert Locusts, the worlds most devastating pests were swarming in large numbers in Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, Somalia, Eritrea, India, Pakistan, Iran, Yemen, Oman and Saudi Arabia.
  8. Presidential Election 2020: Trump vs. Biden or was it Blue vs. Red?
  9. Wild Weather where in 141 years of climate records, we only had 3 states-Alaska, Hawaii and North Dakota-that weren’t apart of the billion-dollar weather disaster. Record Breaking 30 named storms during the Hurricane Season where meteorologists had to use letters from the Greek Alphabet to identify storms because they were running out of prepared names.
  10. The Great Conjunction between 2 planets: Jupitar and Saturn. They say this great phenomena, Bethlehem Star or Christmas Star happened for the first time in 800 years. So on December 21, 2020 about 45 minutes after sunset, Jupitar and Saturn appeared just one-tenth of a degree apart, according to NASA.

The Grinch Who Broke Down In Frozen Shoes

The Grinch Who Broke Down in Frozen Shoes
Momma Grinch

6:30 Dinner with Me. I can’t cancel that again.

The Grinch from How The Grinch Stole Christmas

Recently on Sheri’s Dream Catcher’s Instagram Sip N Think Live Chat held on December 19, 2020, our topic of discussion was about Sheri becoming the Grinch who was trying to put herself in someone else’s shoes. Additionally, I wanted to let you learn a little something about me and how my blended family works together and doesn’t when shit happens. For this episode, my son was driving my truck with his two brothers and it started to shut off while he was driving. Luckily, he was able to park it at Walmart when it shut off completely.

This also happened the day after a major snow storm in the RI area. As in illustration, it was 4:30pm and the sun had just gone down. The temperature was only 21 degrees out and their was ice and snow all over the roads. My emotions were triggered and all over the place. I was calm on the outside, but my insides were swirling like a tornado. Blood pressure was rising to beyond functioning level. I was thinking about my son, his brothers and my daughter. Additionally, I was thinking about my broken down truck and how I was going to get it home and how much money it was going to cost to get fixed. I won’t lie, I was also thinking about myself and how cold and tired I was and all I wanted to do was go home.

External Factors affecting the Grinch’s Heart in 2020

Since Covid cases have risen drastically in RI and the fact that I work in the health field, you can only imagine the stress my body and mental was already under. I have been trying really hard to maintain a good mental and emotional balance just from work , bills, and Covid impacts alone. Yes, these are all external factors and with these complications, my family and loved ones are the ones affected by it most of all. I am a firm believer in the fact that if God brought you to it, he will get you thru it. As a result, I do what I must given the duties and responsibilities laid upon me. This is what a MOM does. This is what a Leader does. This is what Love does.

The Envision Dream design represents your own personal journey when pieced together.  The Rainbow Heart is placed behind the Journey. 

 

The heart represents your own heart. Your heart is a delicate part of you but also a strong piece of you (the individual). When you put your heart into something, it makes it that much more personal to you.  This is important for when you come to an obstacle or road block in your path.  Their will be times that are hard and complicated.  As well as unexpected events along the journey. When this happens, you will need to look into your heart. 

Coincidently, The Grinch’s heart grew when he realized what the true meaning of Christmas was. He needed to look into his heart to figure out what really matters the most. When my son called me to say “mom, I know you are going to be mad because the truck is not clean”, my reply was “all that matters is that you are ok”. Material things can always be replaced but you my son, cannot.

“Maybe Christmas,” he thought, “doesn’t come from a Store. Maybe Christmas…perhaps…means a little bit more!”

Puzzling Mind Preparing for the Snow to Plummet

Make Sure You Have Your Bag Packed Incase You Get Stuck in the Storm

Apparently, I cannot get my mind to think straight with all of this snow talk. Really, your puzzling mind is preparing for the snow to plummet? How much snow will we get? Let me watch the weather forecast like a crack head craving for my next hit. Please do not take offense to that analogy. But seriously, we only focus on the weather channel like a hawk when we hear of a storm coming. Ultimately, I guess it makes our lives interesting.

Yes, I am still puzzled by why we only need milk, eggs and bread when their is a snow storm. Furthermore, why do we as humans race to the grocery store to buy up all of the milk, eggs and bread on the shelves just as the snow starts to plummet? Inquiring minds really do want to know how and why this is considered getting prepared for a snow storm.

What you did to prepare for the storm will determine how fast you recover from the storm.

Come on, it’ll be fun. Unless we get stuck here, you starve and I give up

Olaf from Disney

This year especially, has me thinking and reflecting on the years past. December is typically the month of reflection. However, I feel as though I am reflecting even more now than I ever did. For instance, I am looking at old pictures and all the meaning behind them. In addition to old pictures, I am listening to traditional Christmas songs play over and over again. Literally, I’m thinking like, these songs need to be upgraded. On the other hand, I really do like classic and traditional songs too. Apparently, my mind is still puzzling me as the snow begins to plummet. Ahh the Memories!! That’s it, we have fond memories. Both good and bad memories.
