Happy New Year!

For me, there’s something really exciting about starting a new year!

A new calendar year brings with it the chance to reflect on the year gone by and the opportunity to take stock of where we’re at and where we want to be for the year to come.
 

Happy Monday to all! And for those of you who celebrate, Merry Christmas!

Today I’ll start my day with a meditation, and in that way it is a typical day, but Christmas morning feels extra special to me. The energy on Christmas morning is usually very quiet and peaceful – very still. The rest of the day is full of fun, food, and laughter as I gather with family and friends, and I love it! But in these quiet moments of the morning, I relax into the stillness and choose to focus on gratitude.

Happy holidays! I know this can be a busy time – last minute everything! Hopefully you’re able to enjoy a few moments of mindfulness in the midst of it all. One way I do this for myself is through reflection and bringing my focus back to what’s really important to me.

What keeps coming up for me is being present, being of service, and the gift of giving.
