"She believed she could, so she did."
Who's ready to fly? We all can, especially if we believe we can. January is a time to take stock and believe in ourselves. It's a time to believe that we can, just like the little train that could.
My hope for you in this new year is that you stretch yourself, literally and figuratively. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to those around you. Go for a walk when your body tells you running is too much. Sip some tea and sense how the steam feels as it enters your mouth and you begin to swallow the savory, blended herbal concoction. Say please. Say thank you. Say no thank you, because you know it will hurt those around you if you do offer a note of thanks.
Laugh. Cry. Take out a piece of paper and doodle. Doodle some more. Doodle until you believe that doodle can turn into a piece of art to be hung on your bathroom mirror. Hang it up so that it represents the life inside you that's screaming to come out and have a chance to introduce itself to the world.
Fall. Get up and start over, and then start over again. Write down your dreams. Put shaving creme on the kitchen floor and "skate" barefoot. Fill your bathtub with water and color the water with food coloring. Put floating candles and create your own oasis of crazy.
Take chances.
Take risks.
I've done all of the above activities and I can honestly say I'm the better for it. They may feel like they hurt, but the secret is -none of them do.
Happy New Year to all, and to all a good day.... a good night.... and a good flight!
See you in the sky!
