And so it begins………the New Year. Another chance to get it right - whatever
right means for you.
Last night I simply spent time with me. I made myself a yummy dinner and had a glass
of wine. I toasted the year past and set
my intention to embrace the New Year soon to come. So here we are ready to embark on yet another
portion of our journey. Where will it
lead? What wonders will make themselves
manifest in this year of the horse? So
much possibility ready to unfold. I, for
one, am excited.
Last year was an amazing growth time for me….with respect to
how I see myself. I have become stronger
as I finally embraced who and what I AM.
For most of my life I had been attempting to be or do what was
considered normal by society’s standards yet I never fully appreciated my
path. I had chosen it but much earlier
on IT had been chosen FOR me…by Spirit.
At times I resonated fully with my experiences as they
occurred but, more often than not, I questioned me and my choices. Never fully embracing the Path that I was
on. Never fully appreciating those same
choices I still questioned. I made it so hard to simply be ME which brings me
to present time.
The ever present fear and doubt appear to have
vanished. While the path ahead is still
not completely clear there is trust and compassion for the journey, wherever it
leads. I know who I AM and I know that I
am perfect just as I AM. No longer do
others opinions and beliefs control me.
No longer do I defer to others for my sense of self. I am responsible
for me and no other. All that has ever occurred, both good and bad, has been
the choice of my Soul.
Yes, I fought for a balance between what was occurring
around me and what was occurring within me yet, it was not until the year newly
passed that I finally accepted me…ALL of me.
Why did it take so long I used to ask myself - but no longer.
It was in perfect divine time and order and. while some of
the experiences that arose were incredibly painful, I realize that those same
experiences made me so much stronger. I
found a strength deep within by simply allowing myself to see clearly what it
is that makes me smile…what it is that makes me shine. It most definitely IS the simple things. Like hearing my granddaughter say “Come on
Grandma, take my hand, let’s go” wherever GO happens to be in that moment.
While most fear the aging process I appear to be one of
those who finds herself in her later years. I enjoy me now and embrace my Crone-dom, as I
call it. Becoming a Grandmother has been
one of the catalysts for me to learn to LOVE unconditionally.
I am very much a
single woman at this stage of my life but for the first time EVER, I love it…I
love me and the life I am now living. In
the past I always felt like something was missing. What was missing was ME!So for this coming year of 2014, the year of the HORSE, I intend to stand taller and honour my unique talents and gifts. I am ready to own who I am becoming. And now, on to what's next!
Remember to embrace the Blessings in your life as they unfold
on a daily basis for Blessings abound - all
around!
Namaste
