Hello and Happy 2015!
The past year was one of many endings, and moving beyonds, and letting go of's, and overcomings both within myself and in my everyday world. I really feel this was the theme for 2014 for a lot of us. A year of purging what no longer resonates, a redefining of who we are now, and fully honoring who that is without wavering. For me, this meant facing a few fears, getting real with myself, addressing buried emotions that I didn't even realize I was still carrying around and making some painful and challenging decisions to step back from some people that have been in my life for a very long time. Not out of judgment, nor because I no longer love them, but simply because we were no longer serving each other. For me, 2014 was about going deeper within and getting even more acquainted with myself, speaking my truth no matter who I'm talking to, accepting that I'm not going to be good at everything (math...ugh!) and it's okaaaay, reclaiming my power, and standing in it even if fears arise. In other words, having the courage to be vulnerable.
This past year, I graduated college after five and a half long years of juggling night classes, homework and running my business. All I can say is, "Hallelujah!!" THAT was a looooong ride and I'm so, so happy to have that behind me. Now the wonderful journey of paying back student loans begins, but also, having the time to focus on my passions.
This year I am committed to blogging more consistently and I will be kick starting this new chapter of my journey by adding some exciting new components to this website. It's getting an extensive overhaul with a new beachy layout and creative design!
As many of you already know, I have a deep love for the ocean. Okay I'm obsessed, I'll admit it! I just can't get enough of it and my condo here in Arizona looks like it belongs in Coastal Living Magazine! It's time. I've roamed the desert long enough! This past year the desire to live seaside has only intensified and so I am pondering a move to the coast within the next few years. Not quite sure how all of this will unfold, but with a desire as strong as mine, there's gotta be a way. (Open to invites and suggestions, 😁)
I truly feel 2015 can be the year our dreams come alive if we remember to keep a strong focus on the things we desire and love and let go of everything else. This year with the energy amped up even more, our abilities to create what we want can happen quite quickly. So exciting!
My vision for 2015, is a world where we all have nourishment, a roof and a safe place to lay our heads; where we all have acceptance and love for ourselves, thus for each other; where we all realize the truth of who we are and create communities of unities; where the love within becomes the love without, transforming our world into one of peace, love, freedom and joy.
In deepest appreciation,
Loreen
