Happy New Year! It is the year of the dragon. In Chinese tradition, the dragon is said to bring good fortune and intense power. The dragon embodies passion, independence and ambition. In the year of the dragon, we are encouraged to let go of old ways of thinking, release what is stagnant and create some waves.
I have been learning a great deal about the patterns, beliefs and behaviors that have kept me stuck recently. I am excited to move into this new year with a renewed belief in the power of change. Letting go of things that no longer work in my life is challenging, yet so liberating. Being unencumbered by anachronistic beliefs and unhealthy patterns frees me to pursue new goals and create new dreams. It also opens my heart and mind to new levels of service to my community.
I am grateful for the lessons of this past year, though many have been painful and at times seemed harsh. I have gained a new appreciation for the provisional nature of all things . . . circumstances, relationships, mortality . . . and am thankful to be reminded of the power of the present moment. It is my fervent hope that this year I will love deeper in the moment, and lose attachment to past and future repercussions of loving. I intend on continuing a life lived in gratitude and awe.
I am ready to make some waves!
