It is a new decade today, and so much has transpired for me. Thank you so much for your support in all ways. It means so much to me. 

My life has been one serendipitous moment after another and I keep saying YES to life! I made a decision to stand fully in my truth. It was SUPER SCARY. I now wear My Painted Face every day, I show up and speak to the teachings that Spirit has for me to share with the world. I am committed to Walking in the Beauty Way, in alignment with all the Creatures of this world, and especially Mother Earth, Gaia.

These teachings partner with my yogic path. The Painted Face is a Native American teaching meaning that when we receive life lessons and teachings, truth and Vision we ‘paint it on our face’, as in the old ways. We only wear the paint of our Truth at all times. And when we wear our Truth we are walking with Spirit and our Ancestors; we are walking our Sacred Path. We cannot wear someone else’s paint (our gifts are ours alone and we are here to discover and share them). We must create our own life lessons, and also be in Stillness so we can learn, listen and receive from Great Spirit. 

In what ways are you ready to walk your Truth?

I am sure you are not the same you were 10 years ago! 

Just think about where you were, take the time to reflect and praise yourself for the amazing human you are becoming!

Get out a new Journal! Start to write. 

Here are some prompts:

 

• What are you doing to align yourself with your Truth and Highest Good? 
• How are you making yourself available for Spirit to use you in service, Karma Yoga and SEVA?
• What do you want your life to look like in 10 years from now?
  • 5 years?
  • 1 year?
• What about next month? (Every marathon begins with a single step in the right direction. We can take many steps, but do they get us toward the finish line? Look at your trajectory. Then take that out 10 years… whoa!)
  • Are you going to land where you intend? 
  • Do you know where you want to land in life in each role you hold? 
• Make a 10 year goal for each of these categories, if that is too much make a 1 year goal:
  • Relationships
  • Spiritual Life
  • Career (one for each job)
  • Community
  • Family
  • Friends
  • Health/Physical
  • Self Care/Mental
  • Financial
  • Fun/Play/Adventure

I keep a planner with each of these tabs. I update them every New Year. I call it my Dream Life Notebook Life Journaling Workshop. You can take the workshop with the FREE PDF, download here

Life is intentional! EVERY SINGLE ACTION has a ripple effect. Every butterfly’s wings affect a tiny amount of air, and that in turn creates this ripple effect. 

Do you tread on Mother Earth as if you are literally walking barefoot on her bosom?

What did your 2010-2019 Big Rocks consist of? Good and bad, difficult and awesome?

Get out a legal pad or your phone notes and sit with this. I would love to share my journaling from New Year’s Eve with you, read on or just jump off and do your own!
