Since 2005, I've started a tradition that after every year is completed, I look back over that year and sum it all up with one word. 2005 was a year of RELEASE for me. 2006 was a year of NEW BEGINNINGS. 2007 was a year of TRANSITION for me and many other people around me. 2008 for me was a year of REVELATION.
I've learned so much about myself this year that I never knew or understood before. I've come to terms with a lot of issues, emotions, and baggage I'd been carrying around for years. Spiritually, this year has been amazing…so much has been revealed to me (hence the word for the year). I'm so excited about 2009 (which I've already declared the year of AUTHENTICITY). I'm ready to step forward as the true, authentic person I've learned I am, with confidence and boldness!
Part of me thinks it won't always be easy. But, I'm excited because I now believe that when you are truly yourself, and make no apologies for it, that's when you truly experience freedom…
So, goodbye 2008, thank you for your many lessons and wonderful memories.
And, welcome 2009…I'm so excited to finally be free!!
