So far 2012 is turning into the year of deja vu when it comes to people from my past popping back up. Over the years this has always happened to me. The conversation usually entails regret for leaving me in the first place, hurt and alot of apologizing on the other person's behalf. I think we've all come across situations when you wronged someone but were to stubborn to be the adult and apologize for your behavior. Instead, we would rather eat crow and let years trickle by before the Universe flashes a damn bulb in our eyes to make us remember what we did wrong and why it's time to make it all right again. Or what the other party has done as well.
I've had 4 people in the last week alone try contacting me. Once I spoke to them or saw the initial text messages I soon recalled why I stopped speaking to them in the first place. The Universe, God, Allah or whatever you want to call it, is definitely hard at work this first month of the year. I'm using this time as a teaching tool. A tool to show me why things with that particular person never worked in the first place and forcing me to make a choice. Do I deal with that all over again and keep the cycle going? Or do I finally learn the lesson for what I will not stand for any longer in my own life?
I think I choose the latter....why continue a cycle that you consciously know will continue down the same path time and time again.. Especially if you already know that the other person hasn't done one thing to change their behavior.
Keepin' it movin' for 2012!
Namaste,

New Year of Possibilities
For many of us the New Year is viewed as a time of total renewal. In my mind, anytime can be created for true change. Be it next week or next month, time is irrelevant when starting anew.
I took the last few weeks off to take a moment to reflect on my own personal goals moving forward. Honestly, the holidays are just extremely difficult for me to deal with. When growing up back in Connecticut I used to blame the cold weather setting in or the lack of daylight as the true culprit. Now that I'm growing more honest with myself and a bit older I can face saying it's due to the foundational crack in my own family and upbringing.
These last few years I took the initiative to reach out to friends and start my own traditions. I spent Christmas with a friend and her family this year. It was truly bittersweet to be so welcomed with open arms by complete strangers. To be included in multiple conversations dealing with religion, sex, relationships, as well as, other subjects. To know that no one was going to fist fight on another for having an opposite point of view or opinion. To know that being grateful, supportive and nurtured in possible for all of us.
Taking lessons away from everyone that crosses my path has been my own growing experience. I said goodbye to resolutions a long time ago. I put enough pressure on myself every single day so why create a list that many studies show about 72% of us throw by the wayside by mid-February. We should work daily, weekly and monthly on being the change we all strive to be during our lifetime on this earth. Remember life is a peregrination.
My Challenge To You
-Post what you would like to concentrate more on this year or what have you been working on during the past year.
I will pick the best post. You will win a free month of one on one coaching to intensify your progress. The winner will be announced next week - Jan. 17th. So be ready to create some serious change this year.
Namaste,
