New Year's Ramble... suck it

This is just going to be a rambling, with little editing. A sort of stream of consciousness if you will. So without further adieu....

Yes, I'm sitting by myself, with my dog on New Year's Eve. Up until a couple of hours ago, I had no idea what I was going to do tonight. I wanted to set the tone of the new year with the intention of, and dedication to, following my gut and my bliss. To go with the flow. As I was driving home from work, it became clearer, and clearer that staying in was feeling like the right thing to do. I sat still and tuned in to what I wanted in that very moment...... a Bloody Mary, popcorn bathed in garlic butter, iced tea, and a really good episode of Xena. I held no judgement towards myself for this lack luster New Year's plan, and trusted that it would lead me closer to my destiny. And, that's part humor, and part truth. Sure, it's a funny thought to believe that booze, popcorn and a fictional Amazon woman could lead one to their destiny, but, hear me out...

I feel compelled to, at least semi publicly ramble on about this past year. I realize I'm a fairly private person when it really comes down to it, despite my vibrating façade. I realize I rarely take the time to tell those dear to me how much I love having them in my life, and how much I value their support.

This has been a hell of a year. I have made HUGE quantum leaps in many facets of my life. Love, life, business. And I'm just getting started! I feel like, suddenly, life got a wwhooolllee lot shorter, and I have to make the most of every single minute. I have no catalyst for this... at least not a conscious one. But all of a sudden I feel the fragility and preciousness of life.

Life really is short. The rub is, by the time you realize how short it is, it's half gone. Then you spend the rest of it trying to make up for lost time. Every so often, there's an old soul trapped in a 5 year old that says something WAY beyond their years, and you're left with the distinct feeling that you just stepped into another dimension, for just a minute.

I've been told by 3 psychics that I'm going to write a book. To this day, I don't really like to read. I make jewelry, but don't really wear it. I'm a hairdresser, but never really put effort into making my own look good. I'm a martial artist that wants teach peace and self love.

Polarity=Movement
Embracing ALL duality in life, ensures movement. Acceptance of seemingly contradictory behaviors and beliefs in ourselves, and others, leads to ease in life. Similarly, as we accept successes and failures, good and bad, joy and pain in life, we find balance. Knowing the darkest parts of oneself, leads to deepening one's compassion for others.

I have my eye on the prize. And though I have chosen to be alone tonight, I am not lonely. I am exhilarated by the bounty that awaits me in this year because I have faith. I have faith in myself, in the Universe/God, and faith in the fact that what I have to offer this world will become crystal clear the more I listen to the deepest part of my being.

Thank you. Thank you for those who come and go, for those who come and stay, for those who make us angry, sad, cry, elated, humbled. For everyone who participates in our evolution. This year is BURSTING with excitement to give you exactly what you desire most, but it is up to you to make it clear. We are ALL born to be happy, to be fulfilled, to grow. The unexpected smile you share with someone may change their life. I feel as though my life is changing this very moment, when in fact, it is changing EVERY moment. Carpe Diem!

Now, is the time.
