Starting over; why we all need to do this ASAP:

Every once in a while, life hands you an opportunity to start fresh. To regroup. To take second chances. To recreate and reframe things. This is one of those times, for all of us here on Earth. There has never been a better time to create, create, create the life you've dreamed of!

Let's face it, it's 2025 and everything is changing. And I mean everything. It seems like every time I turn around, the energy that was once present and grounded has shifted yet again and I find myself recalibrating my direction and purpose, almost on a daily basis! Earlier this year, I felt really out of control. It's like the Universe is strongly pushing us into newer version of ourselves, whether we like it or not! Ready or not, it's time to fly! Sound familiar?

Ouff, I knew for myself that deep down that I needed to make some necessary changes, but where was I supposed to start?  What was I supposed to do? For a while, I kept doing the same things and expecting new results, only to find myself frustrated and confused.  And I kept on asking Spirit why things weren't moving as planned? Like helloooo???

When I finally faced the truth, I realized that it was because I was afraid to step outside of my comfort zone, I was afraid of change (even though I craved a new routine!), and I was afraid to look foolish. Silly, I know! But I finally understood the messages that I was receiving from Spirit were for all of us to embrace change, flexibility, spontaneity and adventure. There is always only THE PRESENT MOMENT.

A few introspective meditations later, plus a few serious sit-downs with God and some serious praying, I finally realized that only I could make the changes I wanted to make and that I didn't want to get to the end of my life regretting the chances I didn't take.

As always, Spirit was listening and provided me with the jumpstart I needed... 'coincidentally', I was having breakfast with my dear friend Lianne and she casually mentioned that I try "exploring and experiencing my mission as if it were a great adventure", instead of a daily chore to get through... what a concept!  *smile* . This totally sparked something in me to move through this time in my life with awe and wonderment.

With that being said, by far my biggest change this month was that I decided to switch gears and actually go with the flow. I realized that hanging on too tightly to what I thought things should be like was draining my batteries, real quick.  I realized that my comfort zone was starting to get way too small. I was so busy trying to tame the ocean, I forgot to sail! Doh! It occurred to me that change & starting over can be fun and joyful too, if we let it be. Why not embrace the current energies? If things are-a-changin', then we must get with the program (or get left in the dust).

Here I am trying something new: a day off... I traded in the office for the park.

As a result this month my intention was to try new things, and let Spirit lead. the. way. So, here I find myself on a 31-day quest to embrace new habits, new food choices, new activities, new choices and more occasions to say "yes" to the opportunities that LIFE brings me. 

So far, so fabulous!  It's only day 10 and I'm riveted with learning, expansion and exploration. And it feels great to let the Universe "take the wheel", as they say.

Stay tuned for more this coming month of May as we jump into making changes. BIG CHANGES. I hope you can join us! 

In the meanwhile, what adventures are calling you? Isn't it time to listen up? Your soul is calling. If we're going to change the world, that's why this is needed, ASAP. Take it from me, the only thing scarier than moving forward, is being stuck in the same place.
