Happy Holidays!
I just returned from Mexico on a much needed recharge trip. Now as Christmas approaches I am sitting in deep gratitude for my family and all of you who have supported me over this last year. You are truly a gift and I honor you. I hope this holiday season finds you relaxed and surrounded by love. As I have been reflecting on my journey this year and feel into the path for next year I am struck by my deep desire to cultivate and nourish what I have already grown instead of come up with all new "things" for 2019, or at least for the next 3 moon cycles. That is highly unusual for me as I am usually bombarded with new creative ideas that I want to immediately put out into the world (it doesn't mean I am not getting the ideas, but I am taking my time and discerning what wants to happen and what doesn't). But if there is anything I have learned in this last year, it is to slow down, and simplify, and truly work within my rhythms and listen to my wisdom on things like this. New ideas take a lot of energy, often away from what has already been built. And 2019 for me is going to be all about making what I have already done even more potent, creating exclusive content for those of you who have supported me, and making more of what I have done in -person available online.
Of course, for me December 31st does not represent a hard stop on anything, it just represents a day to celebrate what is complete, and continue in the cycles and rhythms that I already work within, instead of calendar year planning. So a lot of what I have already begun will just flow into the next 3 moon cycle. Working this way for me is so much more fluid and freeing, I invite you to try it, and not be so worried about ALL of 2019. This also allows me to remain open to the mystery and the possibilities. I have been reading a book that is more "mainstream" called the 12 Week Year and while it is a bit more "corporate" and masculine in its language, underneath the surface he is really saying the same thing, that working in cycles like this can be very effective and more natural way of accomplishing your heart and soul desires. So for me the next 12 weeks (or 3 moons in my language) will be about getting really intentional and creating more potent, practice oriented content from much of what I have already created in bits and pieces, and to finish some paintings. I came to realization that I started a lot of art in 2018, I finished very little of it....the nature of my muse at work. But I feel the need for a sense of completion.
I invite you to ponder just the next 12 weeks, and relax into it, as opposed to trying to figure out the whole year, and let me know what you would like to cause and create over the next 3 moons.
I would also love to hear from you what you would like to see from me in terms of offerings, classes, art mediums, women's circles, both in-person and online. I really would like your feedback, because what I THINK really doesn't matter when it comes to my planning classes. I can pay attention and intuit what people are going through and offer something to support that, but I would much rather you tell me, and I can feel, create, and respond to that.
Lastly, I have a gift for you. Some of you may already have gone through this process with me, but for those who haven't, I would invite you to dive into my 10 video series on Discovering and Claiming Your Gifts. This is a wonderful segue into your vision planning, because when you are clear on your Divinely given gifts, your visions and dreams become more aligned and utilizing those gifts to achieve your vision is a much more fluid way of working, as opposed to creating Visions that are not aligned with your gifts, or at the very least brings you clarity around what support you may need to make your dreams a reality.
I hope you enjoy!
