New Years Eve 2023

  Can you believe a year has gone by? On Christmas day last year I found I was expecting another baby, and this year I had an almost four month old baby by my side. It felt like I had just taken the test, and yet so much of the year had already faded from memory in a sense. 

That's just it ~ the things you are experiencing right now, at this moment, will fade, they won't always feel like they do now. This can be a comfort or a sting. 

In my life right now I am in new baby land. For me, this is fraught with deep exhaustion and an output of myself that leaves me feeling hollow, like a shadow. Add that to what I already give to the rest of my children and the way the world's issues occupy my mind and I wonder how I can keep going on like this. 

I walk into 2024 feeling empty. I also walk into 2024 feeling determined.

And so much of my life has felt that way because of my actions, my perspective, my motives ~ just me.

So what do I constantly need to be pivoting to? What truth do I need to be telling myself? What truth do you need to be telling yourself? 

Truth will set you free. There are universal truths and there truths unique to your situation I think.

Freedom is a hearts cry of so many people, of everyone?

Freedom from war, addiction, depression, abuse, anxiety, pain, sickness, trauma, the list is endless. We all need freedom and it starts with truth.

We all also need mirrors of kindness and love reflecting to us who we are and how valuable we are.

This brings life and an upwelling of full rather than empty.

So today ~ this last day of the year ~ please know

YOU are valuable, you are unique, what you offer the world is perfect and important. Your world may be very small, or it might not be ~ but no matter what you have what it takes and you are amazing. THIS is truth. Wrap your arms around yourself and let you know that this year is going to be what you make it. 

How do you want to experience yourself in 2024?

Happy New Year :)
