Renewal

As the hours drip by and descend on 2012, I am left feeling changed, grounded and hopeful with what 2011 has given me. I have been shaken through to the fine fibers of my bones, with older creases mending and new creases forming. This is how we learn. The past year has not only given me new passions, new friends, and new experiences, but also a new perspective on what primarily has been known to me as familiar. Thanks to writing and recording in this space, embracing the now has meant more to me than it has in recent years. I have seen that "letting go" has become a repetitive ritual among all of us, allowing me to never feel alone in my quest for spiritual and emotional renewal.

So with reflection, deep gratitude, and excited anticipation, I raise my virtual glass to you and say "CHEERS!" I am truly honored and humbled to travel this road with you :)...

With love and light, may your dreams come true in 2012...

Happy New Year....
xoxo

    You are a lovely sweet soul and it shines through your blog.
    I love and treasure your honesty and your ability to to share with us what is real and important to you. Never forget that by going on a limb to be "real" you remind others that it's safe for us to do the same. You have helped your readers MJ by conducting your own life experiments and seeking your truth and we adore you.
