Courageous Curiosity

I am approaching this year with a sense of curiosity.  I walk downstairs in the morning and look at the house as if I’ve just moved in. Have I created a space that holds and comforts me? Do I feel both safe and inspired in the space? I study the art and wonder if I still love it. Is this house ready to hold the me I am becoming?

 I look at my clothes and wonder if they represent who I want to be this year.  Over time, I have discovered that a change in my taste in clothing predicts a life transition. I ask myself if one is coming. What do I wear that supports me walking in my power without fear, without feeling the need to explain or justify myself?

Am I dressing for the future, or staying safely in the comfort of the past?
I am reading books from various genres, including both fiction and non-fiction. And yes, a few at one time. What I read becomes part of not only my knowledge base, but also my perceptions. This means I need to be thoughtful about what I am ingesting and absorbing.  

The future is seductive, full of openings for spontaneous or planned adventures, with friends, or as solo challenges. It is a wonderful year to stretch myself, to revisit old cravings from a different perspective, while simultaneously saying yes when I am tempted to say no.

Something in and around me is shifting, though I am not sure what. Each day I hear the still small voice of spirit echoing in my mind and my heart, guiding me to look at the world through the eyes of courageous curiosity. I have no idea where this journey is leading me, and that is part of the thrill.

May you be filled with the courage to say yes to the life you choose to live. To have the strength to say yes to new perceptions and experiences, and no to the old patterns that no longer serve you.
