Wherever the old year finds you tonight, wherever the new year finds you tomorrow, promise me you'll remember one thing.
You have nothing to prove.
NOTHING.
Not to anyone, and especially not to the ones you think you do.
The ones who want you will want you.
The ones who like you will like you.
And the ones who love you will absolutely love you - just the way you are!
Your work is only to learn how to tell the difference so that you never, EVER have to go through any more heartbreak like you've already been through. Because it's been enough already.
We're not talking about a few minor tweaks, we're talking about the essence of you!
Never forget that part, Beautiful.
Now go out there and ring in the New Year remembering all that you are and all that you have to offer just by being you. No one does you like you do - and that's a beautiful thing!
Happy New Year.
Love,
Jane

Happy New Year to you too, Jane! Thank u 4 including me! I feel that your personal touch with having us respond is comforting! I'm 2 1/2 yrs w/o my soulmate of 34 yrs. I thought I was a good judge of character, but as I am in my late 50's & I find myself suspicious of others! I figure I'm just not secure within myself, so.....help please!
Lolly says

Clairey says
I spent the midnight part alone for the first time in my life. I felt proud of myself for being willing to do that rather than force myself into a situation that wouldn't have felt right, but it was lonely. Especially not to have him in my life to spend it with. I did cry, and I've cried a lot today (here in the UK we've already had New Year's Day). I miss him so much and it's still so hard to see a future ahead of me.
Jane says
Proud of you, too, Clairey! The feelings are the last to go; the focus on ourselves and especially those things we can do to feel proud of ourselves are what show us the new light of day. One new thing at a time. The future will come and you'll realize it came whether you could see it or not. Life again will be a beautiful thing.
Clairey says
Thank you Jane, I appreciate hearing this.
Lewis Vicci Tumwebaze says

Bernadette White says
Home watching tv
Jane says
Did you make it til midnight? I rarely can unless I'm out. 🙂
Ericka says
Happy New year
I was at home watching my pastor preach.
I can take on all things this year will bring... The ups, downs and my goals through my Faith in God.
Thanks for helping me grow to getting true ❤️ 2020
Jane says
Anytime, Ericka. So glad you have a faith so strong within you!
Geneva says
I've made every mistake in the book!!! I've recently made some changes and thought it was working. I stopped texting, calling multiple times per day, so when I saw him at work over the weekend, he was very attentive and asking ",are you mad at me??". I told him I wasn't mad at him. He called the other night after work and asked me over, I thought "wow! He is coming around" so I went to see him. Big mistake, turned out to be a booty-call only, in fact he was almost rude at times! He used to be the sweetest man, now he acts like an unfeeling robot.
Jane says
It's all important information we need to have so we can see for ourselves, Geneva. We won't take anyone's word for it until we have our own. Don't be too hard on yourself. We believe until they show us that one last time when we finally see who they've revealed themselves to be. Yes, almost rude at time - there's such a theme there. From sweet to cold and unfeeling, almost rude - it's a projection when they realize who they are and who they're not. You reveal him to himself without even intending to and then he reacts this way to save face.
Betty says
I'm working til 7a.m. 1/1/2020, i live in central Illinois. Right now my love life is in the middle of confusion. He loves me 1 min and the next min,. Its he wants me time how am i suppose to figure this out.
Jane says
Figure out what you want, Betty. When we're with confused men, the only way to end the confusion is to not be confused ourselves. What does he do then with your clarity? He reveals himself this way. When you know what you want and what you can and can't live with, your answers become clear. It's choosing ourselves first that's the biggest obstacle as we're so used to looking to him, to everyone except ourselves. Thanks for staying up for us doing whatever it is you do. 🙂
Iris Garcia says
Hi I decided to stay home my heart is so heavy I couldn't help but look at the guy I had been datings FB and he posted pics laughing and having a good time ... It hurt alot I'm not gonna lie....I feel so angry that he can just act like nothing ...
Jane says
That's so hard to see, Iris. I think you've brought all of us back to our own memories of this. And that ability to act like it's nothing? That's how you know you've got someone emotionally unavailable. The question is, do you really want someone for the long term who could think of you like this?
Pam says
I’m in Louisiana listening to the neighbors popping fireworks while trying to calm my little dog down because she’s terrified of the noise.
To be honest I’m so happy this past decade is over and I’m ready for a beautiful, magical and positive new decade to start right now.
Happy New Year to you also🎉🎉🎉
Jane says
Aw, sweet little dog. That's so scary for them. Sounds like you're a sweet dog mama, Pam. So glad you've found closure in the official end of a year. Here's to that beautiful, magical and positive new decade for you with all the love you deserve!
Lela says
Happy New Year.. I am home...to bring in the New Year.
Jane says
There's no place like home, Lela. Happy Beautiful New Year to you!
Thuli says
Thank you Jane it like you knew what is going in my life, my boyfriend disappeared out of the blue and he blocked me in whatsapp and in text s, your advice are really accurate with what is going on in my life. May the lord bless you every day 🙏🙏🙏 and happy new year to you too 🎉🎉🎉
Kelley says
Struggling trying to believe what you say but how to start? Started journaling this week. Anxious for change in myself 🙏🏻
Jane says
Journaling is a great start, Kelley. Pick one thing, one area you want to focus on, one thing you want to see different. Don't get overwhelmed with all the pieces of this and all the things you want to see different. Just one at a time. Do the next thing that comes to mind. And trust yourself in the process. You can always circle back if someone else calls to you! Anxiety is a sign we're in the wrong place or with the wrong people and need to make a change. Be so proud of yourself for recognizing this is what it's been trying to tell you!
Val says
Thankingbyou for those lovely words of truth and LOVE forever in my gratitude book 💖🤪🌹🙏
Jane says
Aw, thank you, Val. Happy Beautiful New Year to you!
Debbie Hyde says
Jane,
I am sitting at home alone once again, just like Christmas Eve and Christmas. Not meaning to have a pity party, but being married, am now separated, has kept me away from friends for several reasons. I know 2020 will be better because I know God has me.
Debbie
Jane says
Sounds like it's a difficult place to be socially, Debbie. My heart goes out to you. Knowing God has you is a beautiful thing.
Angie Pratt says

Tonya says

Happy New Year!I look forward to learning more from you in 2020!
Jane says
Then here's to you and letting go of what no longer serves you, Tonya. Happy Beautiful New Year to you!
lashuna tanner says
I'm in ga and I'm just sitting around rocking my son and worried about all that's going on in my life 😭😭
Jane says
Hold him close, Lashuna. Children are are reminders of all that's right in the world. They bring us back to the here and now in the moment. One day at a time. Do what you need to do with the light you have from here. We can't see too far down the road until we get to the next part. Don't take that part on yourself tonight.
Leslie says
The day is always a decisive milestone, from year to year. A day of reflection and also recommitment to tenacity in pursuing the dreams and goals of a young girl's heart, but with a mature woman's body and mind. The year has been a very sad and difficult one, with so many losses and failures. To look forward with steadfast hope, is preferable to grieving what cannot be changed about the past. I have had to learn how to accept what I cannot change, as hard as that is sometimes. Tonight, safe at home, I find peaceful rest with my journal and books and a hot cup of tea. Alone, but at peace.
Jane says
Alone but at peace is a special kind of place for our ever-feeling hearts sometimes, Leslie. You've articulated this balance beautifully - the little girl with her innocent dreams and the maturity of a more experienced soul. I hope you keep in touch. I wish you a new year full of people and places with the capacity to see you for the beautiful soul you are. We need more of these just like you.
Julie says
Happy New Year! I didn’t think I would be spending this evening alone. My husband passed away 4 years ago, colon cancer. I met an amazing guy 8 months ago, well... he was amazing for 6 months... lol. Haven’t seen or heard from him for 2 months... nothing.. no reason... no excuse... just stopped .
I don’t feel bad for myself... I’ve been through worse....I feel sad for him ...
Have a safe, healthy & happy New Year!
Jane says
Hearing you, Julie. So glad you can see this and him for what they are. Wishing you the same, Beautiful soul! So sorry for your loss.
Stephanie A Murphy says
Sitting at home saline with my kids watching a movie we rented..wondering and heart broke over a guy who wont text me bk and wont tell me what he wonts and I've tried everything.
Jane says
Oh my heart goes out to you, Stephanie. Could it be you're the one who knows him better than he knows himself?
