Dear humans transitioning into 2023,
I dare you to take a few moments right now to reflect on the past few years. Where were you on your personal journey? Are you still growing? What were your challenges? What experiences knocked your socks off?
I took time to tap into and create a life that I desire. I was on a wild ride. Sitting in my passenger seat were heartache, growing pains and a desperate need for purpose. Along with these unwanted guests were joy, certainty & enhanced intuition. I had to shove over and allow the joy into the driver’s seat. It was brutal. It was lovely. I was becoming me again – but better.
Flash forward to today. Thankfully, we are no longer quarantined to our homes. However, some of us had time to reflect. What promises did you make to yourself during that time? Did you create boundaries or end relationships that no longer served you? Was it difficult? I feel myself being pulled back into the rat race. I am asking myself what I need to do to ensure that I am keeping myself healthy and clear on my boundaries and goals. This need -I can only describe as primal.
We have not hosted a retreat for 2 months. And while I enjoyed the break, I also noticed that these experiences give me much of what I need for my own spiritual medicine. I am invited to witness other women letting down their guard & their inhibitions. All of it is stunningly beautiful. The crying, the (sometimes howling), the laughter & the long hugs. I. GET. TO. BE. THERE. It brings me to happy tears every single time. Practicing what we offer at our retreats is integral to my own growth. Although I will never know your unique perspective, I am able to connect with you through our shared experiences. And this provides the endless resources of HOPE.
So, for 2023, I have decided to remain curious. And with that curiosity I will endeavor to expand on my own practice. I will learn more about myself and continue to help you stay playful while you do the HARD work of looking at your insides. Growth is serious business sometimes – but not all the time.
Love & Light,
Angela
