Blessings for the new year

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!

More new year’s wishes

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.

Day 1

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.

Off to a great start

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! 💕🙏✨
