New Years Blessing

"We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another: unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations." -Ana'is Nin

I've always loved the promise of a new year. There is a freshness and sweetness that can be found in turning to the next page.

Plus the lovely sense of potential...potential for growth, for adventure, for just about anything. And, hand in hand with the promise of something new comes an opportunity for a beautiful and intentional acknowledgement, reflection, and integration of all that has happened within the past year.

As I write this. I realize I am once again found without the "right' words. This past year has at times flown by and at times slowed to a crawl. I've felt all of the things: joy, sadness, embarrassment, glee, wonder…

In some ways I've grown lightyears and in so many others I feel stagnant or pulled backwards - uneven and unsure. I suppose, to be honest, I'm still processing...and maybe we are always in the process of processing one thing or another?

What I know for sure is that in this moment right now, thinking of you all and the time we have shared and the consistent glow that lights up my heart seeing you each week, I feel so incredibly, abundantly, overwhelmingly blessed.

Blessed to know you.

Blessed to spend time with you.

Blessed to love you.

Thank you for a year full of memories together that I will cherish always.
