(not necessarily in that order)
I woke up quite early this morning, which was a good thing because there was so much to do before leaving for the train station and our trip to Assisi.
But what was really cool was opening the window before dawn (preparing to energize) and hearing church bells and bird song.
It somehow felt like an auspicious beginning to 2025.
It’s taken me until today to finally feel the reality of starting a new year.
2022 was definitely another doozy of a year and we’re quite content to release it, with deep gratitude for its blessings, lessons, and tremendous spiritual growth.
Now it’s time to look ahead to 2023, which I pray will be filled with boundless love, infinite joy, vibrant health, and abundant prosperity for us all!
There’s something about New Year’s Eve being on a Friday, and New Year’s Day on Saturday, that makes the whole weekend all about new year energy.
At least, I think that must be why I haven’t been able to settle to much of anything in these days. I’m hoping I’ll feel a shift into productivity tomorrow.
In the meantime, here’s another meaningful quote for the new year.
Wishing everyone a new year that’s happier, healthier, more harmonious, and more prosperous than ever before!
But also feeling a little like this….😂
God bless us all!
As the first day of 2021 draws to a close, I just can’t keep from wondering how this year is going to unfold.
I also find myself remembering the saying, “Once burned, twice shy.” It’s a new and very strange feeling to realize that I’m a little nervous of a new year.
I just had to share this because it describes how I’m feeling…😊
I’m so glad I did not wait until January 1 to begin the practices that tell me — through concrete action, not empty words or intellectual theories — that I am worthy of self-love and self-nurturing and self-compassion and kindness.
The rebounder (mini-trampoline) that I’ve been absolutely craving since last summer arrived last Friday. So I’ve been “bouncing” for four days now.
On Monday, I commenced my “early rising” practice; it’s only been two mornings so far, but I can feel the difference. And, yes, I’m tired because I’m not yet going to bed any earlier, but I have faith that will come. And in the meantime I’m enjoying seeing the sun rise and having time to practice self-care (meditation, yoga postures, walking, etc) before the day gets away from me.
So tomorrow morning I start the new year off on the right foot, while already gaining momentum.
Happy New Year blessings to you as well! 💕🙏✨
