I said I would use lotion during the dry winter and I didn't.  I did say out loud what really matters to me this year of 2012.   I did write a list of my strengths and challenges.  I wrote who I am grateful for and who I am no longer interested in, which sounds so cold when I write it, but it is true for now. 

I am beginning, while reflecting. I feel a little on tilt.  I am excited about 2012, partially because I love newness. 

Here is a thought for you:

What do you want to say to yourself? 

-         I am.......

-         I feel.... 

-         I think...

-         I no longer want...... 

-         I do want......

-         I am grateful.....

What do you want to say to someone?  I was thinking about you and.....

Finding meaning, new meaning, and keeping meaning that matters to you, will feed your happiness.   What is a meaningful life to you?  You get to take your time. You get to change your mind.  Your anchor is compassion and curiosity. 

When you are living an unknown, pause, go inside and have a little chat with yourself about what you feel, know, and need each day.

I wish you laughter and wellness, topped with the grace of simply loving the life you have and keeping hope lit for dreams and desires.

Ask for help. You would help someone if they asked.

Natalie

Change is inevitable. Get Ready. Get Support. Life transitions need a hand to hold.
