The past year was one of many endings, overcomings, moving beyonds and letting go of's, both within myself and in my everyday life. It sounds like this was the theme of 2014 for a lot of us - a year of purgings, redefinings and revisions.
For me, this meant facing a few fears, getting more real with myself, processing some old buried emotions and making the tough decision to step back from some people that have been in my life for a very long time. Not because I stopped caring about them, but because we were no longer serving each other.
Yep, it was a year of going deeper still - standing more firmly in my power, saying what I really feel and accepting that I'm not going to be good at everything (math... ugh!) and it's okaaaay. In other words, finding the courage to be myself.
This past year, I graduated college after five and a half long years of juggling night classes, homework and running my business. All I can say is, "Hallelujah!!" THAT was a looooong ride and I'm so, so happy to have that behind me. Now begins the wonderful journey of paying back student loans, but also having time to focus on more passionate endeavors.
As many of you already know, I have a deep affinity with the ocean, evident by my condo here in Arizona looking like it belongs in Coastal Living Magazine! My desire to live seaside has only intensified over the years, so I've been pondering a future move to the coast. Not quite sure how I'll pull this off, but with a desire as strong as mine, there's gotta be a way!
I'm committed to blogging more consistently this year and will jump-start this new chapter by adding some fresh, innovative components to this website. It's getting an extensive overhaul, with a new beachy layout and creative design!
But the main vision I hold for the upcoming year, is a world where we all have nourishment and a safe place to lay our heads; where acceptance and love for each other abounds; where we each awaken to our intrinsic power and help transform this world into one of peace, love, freedom and joy.
Happy New Year loves!
