If you remember from this post, I wanted all of you to hold me accountable and I was wiling to hold you accountable as well. Connecting over and speaking through our lists of wants/needs/desires is bringing them one step closer to manifestation.
This year, my words are abundance, love & strength.
I wanted abundance financially and have been on my way there, but am also learning that abundance comes in many forms. It comes in the hug of a dear friend, the winning of a raffle and the ability to say a simple YES when someone offers to do you a favor {and for you to also feel ZERO GUILT in this yes…}
Love is a strong and beautiful current in my life. It is always the undertow and how I choose to live my life. I live in the present: opening doors for strangers, giving my heart and hands to students, embracing friends during trying times, listening with open ears and a big open heart…. and writing LOVE LETTERS. This was one of my goals this year and not only have I been sneaking love letters to hubby all around the house, I have also been sending random mail to my near ones and dear ones. YOU are also near and dear, so if you’d like a letter just let me know in the comments by leaving your email address. I would be happy to send you some love.
Strength was a word I wanted for a number of reasons. I wanted internal strength as much as external. I’ve been craving a handstand for over a year now and am VERY close to being able to do one on the beach this summer… but I was also craving the idea of strength within myself. Strength to hold my love ones high when they needed me, but also strength in knowing when to say no and when to create a thin wall if I need a little alone time. It’s been an eye-opening lesson and I’m so glad I’m holding onto this word for 2014.
Without further ado, here is my list of goals and where I am today:
