FLOW....

My word this year is... FLOW! Yes - flow with an exclamation mark! I have spent most of my life resisting what is and not allowing for fear of the unknown. But this past year working in an art journal has really helped me walk into the unknown a little more willing and a little less resistant. So that is why I picked the word flow. I want the unknown to flow freely in and out of my life. I want "all" to pass through my life with our judgment or labels and just let it be and - F....L....O....W.................................................

Ritual...

 

In the last couple of months, I've made it a ritual to light a candle each time I take time to honor my creative muse. It feels like a pause before I begin to make something that I don't know what it will be, but that I'm willing to show up and let the process speak to me.

Moments...

"Miracles come in moments. Be ready and willing."

Dr. Wayne Dyer

I don't want to be looking around every corner wondering, it this the miracle? I want to live each present moment, open and willing to see the miracles as they appear before me and ready to say... "Thank You."

Brave...

"I'm often humbled by the orchestration of it all. This is a wild ride but it's not unsupervised. It's not about what I think I can do. It's about what I'm willing to open up to doing in any given moment."

I was brave today and went out into the unknown. I was partly working on someone else's behalf but part of it was about me. I did it - I really really did it! I'm not sure selling (especially myself) will ever be my favorite part but I hope it will become more comfortable. I was "willing" to open myself up in the given moment. Awesome Nancy !!!!!!!

Willing...

"Standing in our power isn't about how wonderful we are, as much as it's about how willing we are. We are willing to give what we have. We are willing to let our own sad opinion of ourselves grumbles in the background, but not stop us from standing in the foreground or standing on the new ground of sharing our true selves."

Words from book: Inspired & Unstoppable

For me it goes back to that "being vulnerable thing." I have to gather courage to KNOW that I will be okay if exposed. And to want it more then not, because not exposing myself keeps me stuck! I'm willing to take small steps, like writing on this blog everyday. That is bold for me and the longer I do it the more comfortable I'm becoming. Then I'll take another step then another...

A place of YES...

I saw an interview the other day with a lady who wrote a book titled "A Place of Yes" and I thought - that's where I want to be. I want to wake everyday in a place of yes. Yes to all of life abundance. When the universe comes asking... are you ready? I want to be... in a place of YES. No hesitation, no pause, just instantly answer YES, yes I accept. Yes I am willing to have it, yes let it flow through me, let me offer no resistance. YES means there's a shift, a shift that I must be present to be aware of it or it will past me by.

YES I am ready!
