It's a New Year. As days gone by disappear into the rear view mirror...this is when New Beginnings are charted. It's a time to look ahead to what's coming down the proverbial highway of life.
The symbolic nature of the occasion inspired me to clean out my emotional closet. I had to get in there and really dig through what I wanted to keep, what was just taking up space and what was wishful thinking - like that dress you bought for the occasion you'll never attend or the jeans you wore ten years ago back in your emaciated days.
As hard as it is to part with some things...it needs to be done, in order to make room for new things that may need to take their place. Things you can and will actually wear. If you hang on to things that no longer serve you...all you're doing is holding yourself back.
I was decidedly different now. Having learned a lot about myself and about life (in the past year in particular)...my threshold for things that aren't positive for me is that much lower. I'd regained faith in myself and my intuition. The kind needed to say Yes to things I want - and No to things I don't...without apology.
This year ahead is going to be a wonderful mystery. I look forward to every chapter unfolding.
There are still some mountains to climb, to be sure, but I know I have the strength to overcome any obstacle that tries to stop me.
Ridding myself of fear; promising not to be scared...but instead to be prepared for whatever comes my way. Accepting that what enters my life is just a part of my individual journey and welcoming it with open arms.
Suddenly with that weight lifted...I feel lighter, happier, freer to take every day as it comes. Tomorrow comes with no guarantees, so I'll embrace each day wholeheartedly - for each one brings me closer to my Sweet Dream.
Sweet Dreams,
Me
