a love note to 2019

Here’s what I have to say to you, 2019:

WOW. Wow.

This year, I faced challenge, and I came alive.

Ideas flowed out of me like crazy. I witnessed courage in my people as they stepped into big life changes. I witnessed courage rise up in me, too, as I became a coaching consultant. (I didn’t know what entrepreneur really meant before. Now I do. Utterly. Completely). I’m whiplashed from the incredible, vibrant, potential-soaked way of this path. 

I danced more than I have in my entire life, and I committed to living like everyday is play. I allowed myself to play, and to surrender to love. 

I connected with some incredible human beings this year, sparked synergies and dreams together and deepened my long standing relationships. 

I fell in love this year with an incredible human being. 2019’s biggest blessing and surprise for me.

To me, we feel like a ‘soul connection’: “a resonance between two people who respond to the essential beauty of each other’s individual natures” and “opens up a further dimension-seeing and loving them for who they could be, and for who we could become under their influence.” (bell hooks).

My heart is so full. Gratitude doesn’t begin to describe what I feel for him. 

And I set a goal this year, which was to go on not one, but two, meditation retreats. And so, today, I start my 2nd meditation retreat of the year, and embark on an adventure of consciousness and heart. I surrender to the mystery and the magic. Retreat feels like a homecoming for me. No other way I’d rather end this decade than at home.  

I honor your entire experience this year, and I bow down at the beautiful mystery that’s before us all as we enter this new year and new decade. Life is magic, no doubt.
