New Year, New Vision

I would have to admit 2018, the struggle was real, but I realized that is when the real magic happens as I continue to learn and evolve. My Buddhist meditation teacher once told me that obstacles are the path, and I believe this is necessary to guide us to a greater understanding or wisdom that we may not otherwise find.

This past year I've focused on internal work while growing out of my comfort zone. Letting go of old stories, habits, and things that no longer serve me has been primarily fear-based. Instead, it has taught me to stand in my integrity, be honest, and accept myself, the process, and others without changing a thing and staying in tune with love and compassion.

Over the past weekend, I realized one thing 2018 was lacking, connection. I was seeing a dear friend made me realize how I miss interacting with others and the world around me. I miss traveling and going on adventures. I miss being with friends and laughing. Being an introvert can sometimes be tricky, as a lot of my energy comes from being alone, but if I stay within my boundaries, I can bring more balance to my work and have plenty of time for play as I embark on new vibes for the new year.

Dreaming and scheming, I am ready to take action, bringing my creations, lessons, and knowledge to fruition to uphold my best version. So I'm returning to the drawing board and clarifying my intentions for what I envision for 2019. I know that I will give myself the freedom to explore the world again, continue to create, write, love profoundly, and manifest what I want, bringing a brighter and happier new year. So thank you, 2018, for preparing me for what's ahead as I now look forward to embracing 2019!

Happy New Year!
