Year of the Horse

Hello my friends and happy belated new year! I have been hibernating like a bear, as you could tell from the lack of posts. The holidays tuckered me out and I wanted to take time to rest before springing into action this year. I did a one week detox and I have been swimming and doing some decluttering. We are leaving the Year of the Snake and I love the imagery of shedding our skin to prepare to gallop into the Year of the Horse. I did choose a word to guide me this year and it is WILD.

I had considered four words: magic, let go, wild and soften. I went for a long hike with my family on New Year's Day and realized that when I am out in the wild, I let go of negative things, my rough edges soften and I see magic everywhere.

I am not the type to plan out my whole year on New Year's Day, but it took some conscious effort for me to resist the external and internal pressure to "get going already" all of this month. I am ready to get going now. I needed this rest and I'm proud of myself for taking the time. I look forward to a new year here in this space with you all!
