On October 25th I began a quest to create more consistency in my morning spiritual practice. As a way to keep myself accountable, I told my coach that for 21 days I would text him every day to confirm I had done it.
I shared my intention publicly on this blog post. Later, when I completed my 21 days, I shared some of my insights with my newsletter readers. They included things such as:
We are scarcely 3 days into 2017 and already I feel a quiet power brewing for things to come this year. And as I do on most years, I seek to find a word that captures the essence of my intention for the year. I remember in 2013, the word was Create. In 2014, it was Serenity. 2016 was all about Wedding.
As I feel into this big energy for 2017, I find that my word and my intention for this year is: Forgiveness.
It's November 9th, 2016. It's my birthday today.
This surely takes the cake as the most rarified of birthdays for me. It feels quite odd to witness the mix of emotions that are alive in the country today. Whether elated, stunned, delighted or grieving, most people are experiencing a mix of intense emotion today.
Meanwhile, I'm connecting with the joy and pensiveness that my birthday always brings me.
