One Year Later
The start of a new year is always a interesting time. Sometimes we enter the newness full of clarity, ready with our intentions, certain we are going to crush it the next twelve months.
That's what the beginning of 2022 was like for me. Crystal clear and ready to crush. While there were a handful of things that were pretty stellar about last year, wooh let me tell you, there were all sorts of big, life things that did not go as I'd intended. I had to surrender over and over to letting go, pausing timelines on important projects — ahem, the album — and opening myself to things looking much differently than I'd imagined. It was a year of high highs, and low lows, and a lot of personal deaths.
Crossing the threshold into 2023, I am feeling clearer than I have in several months, and again anchoring some deeply meaningful intentions about things I desire and see coming this year. In this moment as I type this, I have never felt more like me, more confident or certain of who I am.. more connected to my Intuition and my purpose.. more healthy, vital, or FREE.
In November, I celebrated my 40th birthday in Mexico. (One of my closest pals made me a flower crown to wear and took a bunch of pictures of me, and made this cool piece of art with them.🌸) In general, my thirties were a decade of tremendously deep healing and growth, and I feel now as though I have graduated to a new level of my being.
The overwhelming essence I have felt about this significant marker of time is.. “I am just getting started.”
The release of Allow Being’s first full-length album will happen this year. All original songs, written and produced by me. It’s a dream that is lifetimes in the making, and it feels magical. Many would say I’m “too old” to be doing it.
Truth is, I don’t care what many would say… and I also don’t buy into the idea of limiting myself, or any possibilities for my life, based on age. Do what you want, when you want, how you want and where you want. Keep learning, growing, changing… It doesn’t matter if anyone gets it, it doesn’t even matter if anyone cares. You care. And that matters. And you get to choose what’s right for you and what kind of life you lead.
It’s never too late and you’re never too old to change course, learn new things, reinvent yourself, or make a dream come true. And you’re certainly never too old to wear a flower crown and throw yourself a birthday party either.
Here’s to 2023. And all that is in store for us. May it be a year of presences, healing, creative birth, and JOY.
