Day 18. 2017 Is Ending!


Day 18. 2017 Is Ending!

I'm happy to say that this year is coming to a close. It's been a tough one, and I think I'm not the only who is glad to close the chapter on this one. It was been a year of tremendous growth for me, but also one fraught with monumental challenges and some hard lessons. I'm both curious and filled with a bit of trepidation about what the current year will hold considering that my moon sign -- my emotional house will be in Saturn. I'm guessing there's going to be a lot of emotional work in store for me. A large part of me welcomes this because I know I had a lot of inner child healing to do. I will have to remind myself to be patient and compassionate with myself.  My moon sign has three years to do this and I'm in it for the long haul. Maybe that's what all of the standing and balance poses were gearing me up for this practice -- gently nudging my subconscious to keep my eye on the ball. I'm focused on my goals and my dreams. Getting there isn't the most important thing for me though. It's all about the journey and I'm preparing myself for the long road ahead. If this coming year is about groundwork, I'm setting it all up in my head before 2018 even gets off the runway. Get set. Ready. Go!

Day 17... I'm Getting There


Day 17... I'm Getting There

I think I'm getting there. Of course I'm up pretty late writing this because I just realized that I didn't actually make an entry for today... or should I say yesterday. I'm taking one step at a time and I'm doing it. Over 45 days in. Double that, and it will be 90 days into the practice. I'm thinking maybe I should do something special on the 100th day. I don't know what I should do but it will come to me. Today was really about digging deep and healing and finding my "happy place". It's the place that if I sit for long enough in stillness, looking deep within, I can catch a glimpse of and feel it's sun-shiny presence. What that happens, a glow infuses my very being with warmth!
