For the last few years I've welcomed the new year by writing a letter to myself to speak life into the new year. In 2020, my theme of my letter was "Liberation" (how timely considering the year we had right?) and in 2021 my theme has elevated to "Acceptance". So here it is:
"You have been liberated to accept yourself, your purpose & all of your being. You fully love all parts of yourself and you are able to creatively put all of your passions together to show up in all areas of your life. You live a life that allows you to graciously spend time with yourself & your loved ones doing all that you adore. You are making an impact daily by diving deeper into yourself. Asè (so it may be).
It's now February (very much still the beginning of the year!) and I'm recognizing that acceptance doesn't come easy which means --- Whew Arri the work must continue! I have ideas about all I want to do but even while embracing Acceptance my own thoughts get in the way.
I know I am force. I know that anything and everything I could do is just waiting on me. That's the thing though - this whole acceptance journey is really about tuning in, doing what comes to my heart no matter what. I can acknowledge the "mind - made doubt", let it briefly hold me down and then I can return to whatever it is my heart intended for me to do. Hence this blog post-- I want to write more, for myself/for others and that doubt is there yet here I am. Accepting what's on my heart.
Maybe at the end of year I'll reread this blog post like girllllllllll you conquered that!
- A.C.
