New Year, New Choices

January… the perfect time to make bold decisions and fresh choices that align with the life you truly want.

I have been this season taking some extra time for being in the moment, for silent contemplation and for dreaming about the endless possibilities.

I’ve been reflecting on the path that led me to where I am today, tracing back the steps and joining the important lessons along the way.

Maybe my contemplative mood stems from being in my forties — a reminder that half of life has passed. Or maybe it’s just random. Either way, I embrace it and trust it’s here for a reason.

I do not know who else needs to hear this (besides myself) today, but here it goes.

  • You are powerful beyond limits.
  • All you need is already within you and available for you.
  • Just by being your unique self, you are enough

Be courageous to listen to your desires.
Be bold to take action.
Be confident in owning your story and your dreams.

French lessons?
Around the world trip?
Starting a family?
Starting that business?
Taking charge of your health?
Slowing down?
Following your heart?

Whatever it is you are holding back from doing, go out there and do it!

Life is so incredibly unexpected, delicately precious, and deliciously magic.

Choose to live it, fully and completely.

(Now excuse me, I am contemplating on how do I put this all into practice myself.)

Happy New Years!
