So many charts left un-filed, and papers unsorted…that can’t be the right way to end the new year. I don’t know about you, but time seems to be speeding up so quickly that a month is over before it’s really even sunk in and marinated at all.
Even this post is scattered, like I want to have pearls of wisdom to impart here before we switch writing 11 and move to 12. But the truth is that it all seems so arbitrary. Solstice is past…and this moment at midnight on december 31st seems rather unimportant in the grand scheme of things…except that I will invariably write the wrong year on my checks and chartnotes for the next few months.
So why am I blogging today then? I guess because I’m not the only one feeling this way. This way that life has a mind of it’s own and I’m just along for the ride. And sometimes I feel like I have had my eyes closed for a really long time, but it’s only been a moment. A breath.
So from all this grounded confusion I do want to wish each and every one of you an amazing New Year…whenever it arguably began… I hope you spend it doing things you love, with people you admire, in surroundings that nourish you.
I hope that when you look back at this past calendar year you can see your achievements with clarity and your areas of growth with compassion.
I hope you have nurtured your relationships and let go of those that no longer serve you.
I hope that your health has fed you and you feel at peace in your body.
I hope that you have kind goals for yourself and this planet and the connections between us all.
And perhaps most importantly, I hope this year more than all other years you have learned to love yourself truly and completely. For only when we find that space in ourselves can we share and receive it from others.
So with that I offer my deepest thanks and gratitude to everyone who touched my heart and soul, who challenged me and supported me, and as a beautiful native prayer goes…to the great spirit of us all.
Namaste.
