Hello my Sweet Friends.
This year I turned 50 and I never expected it to feel as liberating as it is! I don't think I have ever been so alive in my own skin as I feel right now.
While some may consider this strange, I have never been one to fear the impending "turning a year older". And this year, in particular I have felt so deeply the honor and blessing of turning 50.
For me, I sense a very deep level of acceptance of what has brought me to the person I am, whether difficult struggles or experiences abounding in love. I am more myself than I have ever been, and I can truly say I love me, and I love my own company.
Now that's not to say that I don't have moments that cause me to reflect, but I have learnt that if I lean in and get a little more curious about my internal responses, my ability to process and explore helps me find my feet again, meet my past self with love and wholehearted gratitude and choose to grow.
My life is made up of my choices. Be they about my physical or my mental and emotional needs. I choose my own thoughts, feelings, reactions and what I will fill my mind and heart with.
I have learnt, through listening to amazing people like Brene Brown, Mel Robbins, Jessica Sowards and many others, that our journeys are unique to us. If I can make time to pause and listen instead of being judgey and reactive, whether towards myself or others, I can learn so much more.
Deep connections are forged from little moments. Finding opportunities to feel gratitude for even the simplest of things, leaves a gateway open for more joy. Letting go of what doesn't serve me and the direction I want to go in allows room for what is meant for me. Being open to new experiences and exploring ways to grow excites me and I am very much looking forward to the many years ahead.
I hope you'll join me on our journeys.
Much love to you all xx
