A New Year's Resolution

2014 was an unbelievable year! I completed three #101Days projects that taught me so much about who I am and what I am capable of creating. I am not sure about anyone else but I can honestly say I am amazed at my own complexities and my wonderfully dynamic being. Looking back on the last year I marvel at how much I didn’t know about myself. Answering questions such as, “What is important to me?” and “Why is it important to me?” have at times left me down right baffled. I had to sift through so many layers of “I should do...”, “People expect me to…” and “I couldn’t do that because…”. In my mind those statements sounded like facts, unquestioned as the absolute truth AND with the help of these projects, the support of my conscious community and my loving husband I have been able to dismantle what I believed to be true to find what actually is true.

Byron Katie says, “Reality is always kinder than the story we tell about it.” Which is true… but only 100%of the time. The challenge is: am I aware of the story I am telling myself? This process of discerning my story from reality is more multifaceted than I had realized and discovering all the ways I paint reality is like opening gifts on Christmas. Each new finding unlocks the potential of living a life of total freedom. Where there was once a dead end there is now the beautiful opportunity to choose whatever I want. Is there anything more fun in life? For me... no. I love living this way. I love exploring all the possibilities of myself and for myself and LOVE LOVE LOVE sharing that with others!

Another important lesson I learned was that not everyone wants to live that way.  This used to make me really sad but then I put it into perspective. Not everyone wants to be a CPA, nor does everyone want to be a doctor and I must say I am very grateful for the CPAs and doctors in my life. What we all have in common (Warning: I am not sure this is true and it is a thought I enjoy so I choose not to challenge it ;) is that we are all uniquely gifted and talented and those qualities will lead us to where we want to be if we choose to follow what we love to do.

Luckily, for me there are many people in the world who do love to explore the depths of their being. Some people use it as a tool to create the life they want, some people are interested in a spiritual awakening, some people just want to make sense of themselves. Whatever the reason people choose to develop themselves and explore their potential I deeply appreciate. Nothing makes me happier than being in that experience with someone and sharing it with him or her.

Needless to say I love these projects and I want to continue to do them in 2015, however, I think it is time for a shift. I am ready to commit my entire year to a goal these last projects helped me identity.

In 2015, I am writing a book (and I want to have it published by the Institute of Noetic Sciences)! I believe that writing a book will serve as a way to expand my reach and find more people who love self-exploration or who don’t even know it is a possibility in their lives yet. I also think that the message I promote helps some people in some way that I can’t begin to quantify or qualify AND having that message in the world is important to me.  Also, I know I will learn a ton about myself whether I succeed or fail, so it’s a win no matter what!

I have no idea where to start, or how to do this, so I will need support. I will enroll a mentor and I will handle all my objections to moving forward. I will document this journey through instagram, tumblr, facebook and this blog.  

It was only last December that I was afraid to write a blog and put my thoughts out into the world to be judged by others and now I am excited about writing a book and building a community of people in support of the Human Potential Movement. I wonder what else is possible?

May you all go out and create everything you want in 2015. May you experience health, happiness and abundance like never before. May you always go boldly in the direction of your dreams. I am so grateful for the support you have given me in going after mine. Happy New Year!
