safe, smooth, secure & steady.

Happy New Year! It is now one week into the new year. Happy 2024, and most importantly, happy Sunday. May this year be safe. May it be smooth. May it be secure. May it be steady. This year, I am affirming, manifesting, and choosing steadiness, smoothness, safety, and ease. I am so thankful for my journey, but the last 3 years have been full of transitions. Transitions that took my breath away, both in positive and negative ways. Transitions that broke me down and built me up. Transitions that I knew were coming and abrupt. After all these transitions, I am fully aware that the present is the gift, this moment, my breath currently, right now as a writer. I am thankful for this moment. I choose to steady my breath. I choose to feel at ease and smooth feelings. I choose safety and security. How? How am I choosing this, you might ask? Here are a few of my choices, actions, and habits that will help me to affirm, manifest, and live safely, smoothly, securely, and steadily.

  1. I am releasing myself from things that require too much effort and not enough ease. I am willing to work for it if it is working.
  2. I will honor my boundaries, name them, share them, and keep them close.
  3. I am being honest with my capacity, mentally, physically, and emotionally. I am specific with my capacity and say no to over-committing in any area of my life.

I invite you to share what 2024 looks like for you. What are you affirming, manifesting, and choosing? What would you like to see in 2024? More personally, how might I be in your corner and support you? I am interested in learning more. Thanks for reading and sharing ❤

With love + gratitude,

Shift and Shed. Adapt and Adjust. Evolve and Embrace.

As the season changes and one chapter closes, just to start the next, I am taking time to pause. At this moment, I am taking note of shifts that are happening. I focus my energy and attention on new priorities and shift as I do so. I am shifting past patterns. Concurrently, I am allowing myself to shed, like in nature. I am shedding past habits that no longer serve me. I am shedding doubt and limitations that I or others have placed on me. Shifting and shedding. This is prompting me to adapt and adjust. Adapting to my new energy and attention, adapting to my patterns. I am adapting my plan; it has new sights, goals, supports, and conditions. As I adapt, I am allowing myself the freedom to adjust my focus. Adjusting what I focus on, adjusting what I do not focus on, adjusting and adapting. All in service of evolving and embracing. I plan to evolve day by day. I am evolving with time and grace. I can see my evolution and am continuing to evolve. So, as I evolve, I am embracing growth and change. May it be radical, beautiful, uplifting, visionary, and all it needs to be.
