Sun shining, birds chirping, hens giggling,
the first sip of coffee,
the first journal page of the new year,
it all seemed extra special this morning.

I'm mindful of what it takes to feel my best,
and discovering more as I go.
Zeroing in on my passions,
and continually releasing the non-essentials.
Being mindful. Bringing my full self to the moment.
They all add up.
Journal notes:
Welcome the New Year with confidence.
'God is not the author of fear. You are.'
"...there comes a point when we must simply admit
that what shows up in our lives is a function of our thoughts."
"Our efforts to construct an impressive facade
distracts us from learning
and growing."
It takes time to recognize what is essential,
and what is trivial.
'Power is from God. Not us.'
The passage of time is an unstoppable force.
If your life is in total chaos,
now's a good time to set priorities.
Start with one area of your life.
Dedicate to staying on task on a daily basis.
Even when the process is messy,
trust that God is good.
There's no fast forward to change.
'God's plan for you is so awesome, so amazing,
that you have to get it in stages.
You get it in pieces to digest a bit at a time.'
Give yourself fully to the process of becoming.
Do not cling to old ways as you step into a new year.
"He wants us to live in grace and walk in love,
but at first it is a gangly, wobbly wreck."
"Do not conform any longer to the patterns of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."
Romans 12:2
'We get in life that which we focus on.
continual focus on darkness leads us further into darkness.
Focus on the light brings us into the light.'
You are precious and wildly capable of amazing things.
'Get humble, be rooted, and get ready because
it's about to get good.'
"There is more to know and more to see,
And all of your life's most colorful stories
will prepare you for who you need to be."
"What do you plan to do with your one wild
and precious life?"
be well...

"You were put on earth to be a vibrant
disco ball of energy, not a dimmed light in the corner."
"The sixth love language is when someone
takes candid photos of you
without you needing to ask."

"Did you know cuddling or being in a loving
relationship can literally change
your gene expression?
It activates repair genes and turns off
inflammation.
Love truly is medicine."
