It's the last day of 2011 and after much reflection, I'm happy to see this year come to a close. Although there have been plenty of wonderful times, gifts, and experiences, this year has been uber-challenging for me on so many other levels that I'm looking forward to the new year. I guess you could say the Universe was just making sure I was ready for the Age of Aquarius. Ha! (which then makes me think of this video).
As I've reflected on the past year, what I notice most is incredible growth. This year, I have been stretched farther than I ever imagined. The Rachel that kicked of 2011 seems much different than the Rachel that sits here writing this post. I was sure that 2011 would be my year and that amazing things would cosmically align and I would be well on my way to much greener pastures, mostly professionally. In some ways, that's very true, but in others, it just wasn't. And you know what? That's okay. Nothing great was ever gleaned from an easy road. While I wish it had been a little less bumpy at times, I know I'm doing the work I need to do to work through my karmas. Perhaps the biggest lesson learned was that despite where I think I should be, I'm actually already perfectly situated right where I need to be.
What are some of my intentions for 2012?
- I intend to be kinder to myself. I'm really tough on myself, and sometimes others too. I intend to work to let this pattern go.
- I intend to practice, write, and teach as much as I can. In 2011 I found my purpose, now it's time to live it. Coupled with this is my desire to sing again and connect with music through my practice.
- I intend to break out of my comfort zone and try new experiences and have more fun.
- I intend to let love in and truly believe that I deserve it.
- I intend to be honest and clear with my words and interactions and boundaries. Saying "no" to things is okay.
- I intend to listen more deeply and continue my healing process.
- I intend to not take things so personally.
Enter One-Sol Seppy
After a storm
I wanna let go
Of the things that I’ve done
Without any worry
I wanna come home
Into the light
Into the unknown
I want to be shameless
Like the sun
Moving into you
Enter light
