Entering 2025: Goals, Objectives, and the Beauty of Surprises

     No one welcomes a chaotic surprise, but they happen now more than ever. For all the external resources we can amass to make us think we are safe and protected from harm in this world, none are as powerful, reliable, and truly effective as trusting our own guidance, knowing how to make a clear decision, and following through with it, and being able to confront the fears and illusions in our life.

It's the first day of 2025, I usually feel a mix of excitement and anticipation. The start of a new year often brings with it a sense of renewal and the opportunity to set fresh goals and objectives.  I make it a ritual to have a hearty wonderful breakfast, somewhere beautiful where I can sit in a tranquil environment to decide how I want to live and feel in the upcoming year. 

As I sit down to set my sights on the future, it's important to remember that life has a way of surprising us. Unexpected events, both big and small, can alter  plans and challenge  expectations. Rather than viewing these surprises as obstacles, we can choose to see them as opportunities for growth and discovery. 2024 blew my mind, I had ups and downs, twists and turns that I could have never fathom at the start of the year when I sat down in beautiful Bahia Brazil

As I sit here today in equally beautiful Honduras, I am reminded that goals and future planning are a guide, there is no certainty. The lessons along the way determine who you become.

Holding space for surprises builds resilience, trust, faith, surrender and taps into curiosity.

By balancing ambition with flexibility, we can navigate the year ahead with grace and resilience. Here's to a year filled with growth, discovery, and unexpected joys!

Cheers to 2025

Peace and Blessings

Redefinition of Lose

Rather than think about what you have to do to change a situation, consider what the situation might be doing to change you. How it might be seasoning and transforming and growing you. You are not responsible for everything and everyone. Allow that as a possibility. Jessica Dore There are some situations that are simply in your life showing you how to shift, how to be flexible, to grow, to transform. You long for change, yet you cling so to the familiar. You are so afraid of what you think you will lose. You are even afraid to lose the things you don't want. The familiar becomes your family, regardless of what it is. let's redefine "lose" I define lose as opening up to a new possibility The day I stopped saying that I lost my house, lost my marriage, lost my mind, things shifted for me The shift has to start inside How we define and relate to the circumstances in our lives transforms how we act. I started asking myself different question...

Someone is cracking open their joyous nature

Right now, Someone has recently cracked open their joyous, genuine nature because they did the hard work of hauling years of oppression off of their psyche Danielle La Porte, author One doesn’t just wake up one morning and is suddenly enlightened! Sorry it just doesn’t work that way! It is not by magic that your life is changes, it’s by choice! One has to be willing to do the work, it is really just that simple. Doing the work takes responsibility, it takes self love, and compassion, it takes you telling the truth to yourself every single time! Denial and blame becomes things of the past! As soon as you find yourself denying and playing the same blame, you are off track, get off that bus and take another one You got to be willing to do the work and accept some good home truths about yourself and your life and trust me it ain’t pretty or fun at most times.
