I will say good-bye to my 34th year on the 24th of this month, I’m excited for what’s coming and I’m incredibly grateful to what has already been.
A While back my friend Gemma Stone wrote a piece on her blog about decisions, reflections and choices that she had made during her current year to make it better and it really got me thinking about what I wanted to choose as I moved closer to 35. At the time I was only half way thru my current year and right there and then I wanted to make the rest of my 34th Year Count.
So here they are in no particular order.
-
I choose time, time for myself, to be, to think, to sleep, to whatever I wanted. This choice provided more time for E and everyone else that I hold within my heart, more presence, more awareness, more unconditional love.
-
Daily Ritual and Sacred Space
-
Loving my body in every moment
-
Pleasure, all kinds and lots of it.
-
To put myself out there even though my Inner Critic tells me not too.
-
Doing so has given back to me 100 fold my effort.More Impact with More Ease
-
To Follow and trust my heart, regardless of what others think and especially when I don’t really know where its going.
-
My Soul Work is where it led, and I’m choosing to do that too.
-
My health over chocolate (but sometimes a little chocolate too)
-
Sisters, Circles, Community
-
Danced, Qoya, being in my body and out of my head changes everything
-
Coming back to my Medicine with newfound Reverence and Awe
-
Treating my clients and creating offerings from that place
-
Saying No more than I say Yes, Honouring my Sacred No.
-
Asking for help
-
Took myself out on dates
-
Said goodbye to something I thought I wanted more than anything, grieved and now I feel eternally grateful for all that I have.
-
Felt the true power of my love. Two Feet In Only from now on.
-
Accepted the part of myself that sometimes just wants to be left alone. (She’s okay)
-
Unleashed my Wild side (there’s a place for her too)
-
Spoke up to ask for what I wanted
-
Some of my greatest moments of clarity and inspiration happen while walking Lily
-
Less is more is generally always a true statement
-
Less Sorry’s (LESS, I’m still Canadian, so you know they happen)
-
A wish for anything that I create to be only as big as I can hold it
-
Sleep is a beautiful thing! I love my bed, and a sleep-in when it happens is Divine
-
“I Love You Mommy” is the purest and most heart opening statement that I will ever hear. To savour each one.
-
Read Everything and Anything that lights a spark
-
Write something daily (almost daily)
-
Authenticity, Integrity, Growth and Love above all
-
Choosing those things doesn’t have to be light and happy all of the time
-
To remind myself often, to savour and breathe in the moments with E, even the hard ones (They’ll be a memory before I know it)
-
Moving my body can actually feel good
-
More Fun, More Spontaneity, More Moments when I feel my heart open
