Another Year, Another Lesson

I have thought of a hundred things to write about and actually even wrote a post and had it completed, but Wix had other ideas! So redo!!! This wont be any of the other ideas that I had either though. None of them felt right or authentic, especially going into the new year. I felt like this post needed to be raw. I needed to be completely open to all the things going on, all the things that are staying in 2025. The year of the snake, the year of shedding the things that no longer serve us. Let us move forward into the year of the horse bringing freedom and action.

Over the past few years there have been so many things where I had been stripped down to the core of my-self and got lost. Starting this business and making is official I thought it would be better if I was more like what I thought my audience wanted even though it didn't feel right to my being. I took out my locks after a break up because I thought it would change anything and everything, inside and outside of myself. I had a per-cancerous spot on my nose and had to face the world and most importantly myself with all of my darkness coming to the surface and be ok with it, make friends with it even. This year I had a major health scare that made me take a real hard look at my life, the things that I was doing and the people I was surrounding my self with.

All of these experiences have helped shape the person writing this. While this version of myself is still emerging and bringing forth the magic I wish to see in the world, I had to release the old version of myself (my locks), I had to become friends with my ugly side (the chemo nose), and I had to let go of all my anger and doubt (losing an infected gallbladder)

I do not wish to move forward into this next year with resolutions as they never actually seem to do anything. Instead I plan to simply move forward following what feels right for me. What creates health and balance in my life mentally, physically and spiritually. I am not just winging it though there is a road map to the things I wish to do, to move out of and move into. I am reaching out to friends and teachers to help grow and evolve. I am setting healthy boundaries and releasing old habits, patterns and people that no longer fit in my life. I am actively creating the life that I don`t wish to take a vacation from. That I am in love with and wish to share.

May this year fill you with a thirst for a life well lived. May this year give you a fire to change all the things that you can and the grace and patience to accept the things that you can not. May you find love in all shapes. May you be able to see the beauty in the mundane and magic in the surprises! May you share time and space with loved ones making memories that last a life time. May you find the courage to take the steps to live your dream! This is what I wish for your new year.
