Goodness, December is just flying by!! Hard to believe Christmas is a week away...

I'm making some handmade gifts this year to make up for the fact that I don't have the money to buy anything. The upside is that it's given me a chance to be more creative and stretch myself in new ways. It's also really fun for me!!! I enjoy coming up with ideas and seeing them come together...

I'm thinking of baking some sweet treats for gifts too! It's so funny how creative I become when I have to be...lack of funds always makes me get crafty and creative. I would prefer to have more money to be even craftier but I'm making it work this year...so far.

Happy week before Christmas to YOU!!!

One of my favorite holiday films which includes this little diddy...so fun.

Shedding leaves beauty.

This is my farewell photo to the group. I feel like we all got a chance to shed a bit during this journey...all that clutter clearing stuff really works! I hope to see everyone in January for the next Next Chapter...

Have a magical December!!

I feel like everyone on this journey really put their heart out there for all of us to see, and I have loved witnessing it. Sharing from that sacred space makes all the difference. So thank you, my spirit sisters, for letting me peek into your life over the last month. I have seen myself in many of you and been so inspired by your words and encouragement. A special thanks to Jamie for putting this together and for showing up everyday. What a gift you have given us! I will be seeing you in January!!

I look forward to putting even more of these exercises into practice over the next month, especially the fire week ones, as I mentioned before.

I discovered this beautiful Native American prayer during this journey and wanted to share it with you...

Walk in Beauty

Beauty before me
Beauty behind me
Beauty beside me
Beauty below me
Beauty above me
Beauty inside me
I walk in beauty

May you all walk in beauty and find it following you wherever you go in life. Thank you for sharing this journey with me.

I Wish I May..... I Wish I Might...learn to wish again

I Wish I May..... I Wish I Might...

I want to start wishing again. Somewhere in the midst of life, I stopped wishing. I just gave up on that type of magic in my life. Too much disappointment, too many times things didn't work out, so gradually I just let my wishes slip away. Even if all my wishes don't come true, I still think it's important to let myself do this. That's what today was and is about for me...remembering how to wish again, to let myself really want something and believe I can have it.

So here are some of my wishes for the next year:

-Move back to LA
-Discover the book that my soul wants to write and write it.
-Get engaged to the perfect man for me
-My life is easy, joyful, creative, purposeful, and full of love and laughter

Can't believe tomorrow is our last day of this journey!! It has been very fascinating and I feel like I'll be going back and doing some of the days I missed just to keep this energy flowing. See you all tomorrow!

Giving Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday surrounded by those who love and adore you. So much to be grateful for these days. I'm learning the true meaning of gratitude in my life right now. What a gift!
