    Hi everyone. Wow, it’s hard to believe that 2018 is nearly over! It has been a year of huge personal growth for me, and I anticipate 2019 to be much the same. Here are the answers to my journal prompts from the last call:

    If you were looking back on 2019, what would you be saying about yourself?

    I would say that I was a woman standing in her truth. I would say that I was a woman who has learned, grown, and overcome the things that held her back in 2018. I would say that I had continued my journey into greater awareness, wholeness, and healing. I would say that 2019 brought me more opportunities, and I said yes to those opportunities. I would say that 2019 was the year I began to receive more of what the universe and others had to give, receiving with an open heart.

    What’s an intention that you have for 2019?

    One of my intentions for 2019 is to follow specific goals I have set to try to be consistent with my goals. For example, I would like to try something new that’s aligned with my continued journey to health and wellness. So, instead of walking my dog, I will try a new exercise I haven’t gone before. Or instead of making my own meal plans, I may try a meal service where the ingredients are pre portioned. Basically my goals in this area are to be open to the possibility of receiving help more often instead of always resisting it by thinking I can’t spend money on anything or do anything that might need assistance from someone else. If that makes sense! I’m making my goals more specific, but not as extravagant so they will be easier for me to follow. I’m trying to get out of the “go big or go home” mentality.

    What’s a feeling that you would like to experience next year?

    I would like to experience the feeling of being redeemed, and of knowing that I have made it through my darkest times and mistakes with the acknowledgement from others that I have changed and grown from where and who I used to be. P.S. I think it’s so cool that Wes used this word also when he shared. I wrote the answer to this question before he shared, so how cool that someone else wants to experience that feeling. 🙂

    When you think about the next level version of yourself, what’s something from the next level version of yourself that you might see in 2019?

    I think the next level version of me will be more willing to unwaveringly stand in her truth with knowledge of how that truth and the “mountains I have climbed” will direct me to my purpose and will make an impact. Essentially, turning my “mess into my message” (so to speak).

    Is there anything you would like to eliminate in 2019?

    Yes! My job would be number one in that category. It is time to move on and eliminate that chapter of my life. That would include the group of people that were in my life during that 14 year period. Many of those friendships have ended. But, I would like to eliminate the need to associate with those who are not on the same path. Wish them well and move on to a new chapter with friends who are in sync with my values.

    Is there anything you are aware of that you would like to be experiencing more?

    I would like to be experiencing a better sense of community in my offline life. My online world is the place where I have the biggest community support, but I would like to rebuild it in my offline world.

    • Thanks for sharing Karen, I love how intuitive your answers feel and self-honoring. I can so relate to letting go of the job and all that comes with it, I feel like that may be coming up for me too. Love witnessing you be you!

    • I appreciate your thoughtful answers. I hear you saying yes more to the things that feel in alignment with your truth, stretching yourself and getting creative. It’s going to a good year!
