I started this blog in March of 2014. The idea was to celebrate my rich heritage and the beauty of life. It was a constant thought running in my mind every day of 2014.

This was the year that brought the end to one of my most important relationships, the one with my father. I was fortunate to be able to carve out time to be with my Dad and to help care for him. The best part was nothing was left unsaid and we made some new, wonderful memories.

I had every intention of blogging after he passed but I just didn’t feel ready. I don’t know how often I will post but I do know I want this to move forward. It is time.

Lately, I have been examining my life (more than usual) and what I hold dear. I have been asking all sorts of questions:

• what brings me joy?

• what are my dreams for my life?

• what do I want to accomplish?

• what can I do to make this world a better place?

Today, I wrote down everything I could think of that has been holding me back. And then, I burned all of it 🔥🔥🔥

Going to Burning Man is not an option, today, so I created my own. A moment in time to take all my reflecting and soul searching and release what I no longer feel works. It was perfect.

I followed this up by writing down everything I want for my life…big things and the smallest of things, short-term and long-term, anything that mattered to me. All the little bits of paper were folded up and placed in a jar. I put it in a prominent place so I could see my path and be reminded of the way, when I get lost.

This was all brought on by my “wall of encouragement.” Okay, it’s really not a wall, it’s all on the side of my fridge but it works. There are inspirational reminders of my intentions, centering thoughts and wisdom.

Grateful for this reboot! 💗

Excited for the adventures to come!
