Happy New Year Everyone,
Have you ever noticed that most of the time, life has a way of making plans for us? Knowing when to choose, switch directions, or go with the flow is the most challenging part. It sometimes feels confusing and scary, especially when the stakes are high. It's easy to get stuck in a mental maze when we are afraid to take action for fear of making a mistake. Yet, mistakes are nothing more than going against what is right for you. How would we learn that if we didn't have the experience in the first place? There are times when doing nothing is the correct path. There are also times when we need to take action based on integrity, authenticity, and honor. It may not be the popular choice or even make sense to the people closest to us, but it will always be the right choice. How do you know? It has been my experience that listening just to your head will be confusing because your head will try to justify things. However, your heart and gut will never steer you wrong. There is always, I know (she says, pointing to her head), and I know (she says, pointing to her heart). We all need someone to help us when stuck in the weeds. I am so grateful to have those lovely people in my life.
While every year is filled with hills and valleys, this past year seems to have been mountains and canyons. I know that everyone reading this can relate. I also know that we have learned many things over this last year. Many of those lessons have been internal, personal, and, may I also say, corrective. When I say corrective, those experiences lead us back into alignment with our mission statement and that of our soul. Corrective in a way that aligns with us personally and with love that sets us back on our chosen path. When we deviate from our internal compass, Spirit has a way of helping us correct the course, reevaluate, and adjust (not always an easy adjustment).
In 2024, we experienced significant changes that reshaped our perspectives and profoundly influenced our daily lives. As we transition into 2025, my sense is that the shifts we encounter will take on a more nuanced character. Each year, I engage in a personal ritual of seeking guidance from Spirit for the upcoming year. For the year 2025, I received three powerful words: "Celebrate, Joy, and Consistency." These words resonate and encapsulate what I aspire to embrace in the coming year. "Celebrate" reminds me to acknowledge the big milestones and the small victories that often go unnoticed. It encourages a mindset of gratitude and appreciation for the journey, regardless of the challenges we may face. "Joy" serves as a reminder to actively seek happiness in everyday moments, to find delight in life's simple pleasures, and to share that joy with others. It emphasizes cultivating a positive outlook, even when circumstances are less than ideal. Lastly, "Consistency" highlights the value of persistence and dedication in pursuing our goals and aspirations. The words I have received will remind me to celebrate the journey, embrace joy in every moment, and remain consistent in my efforts.
Thank you to all the mediums and everyone attending the Downright Fabulous People New Year Gala. For those who couldn't make it, more events will come. Stay tuned.
Sending you good vibes and many reasons to be grateful, joyful, and celebrate!
