What has changed for you?
I know there are some who balk at choosing a word or phrase for the year. But, what if it chooses you? Last year, sometime in mid-summer, the word FREEDOM hit me upside the head and stayed close to my heart. It was everywhere and always forefront in my thoughts.
On January 1st, the word HARMONY, found it's way to me. I wasn't looking for it and I was a little sad to see my other word go. Momentarily I even tried to hold on to it, but it had lost it's power and here was HARMONY staring me in the face, demanding I take notice.
Here's what HARMONY means for me:
Balance
Not a balancing act.
Nor, juggling to keep up with everything.
Rather, a balance that comes with surrender. A balance that comes when what I think, say, and do are in line with each other. Balance that comes when I live in full freedom while remaining grounded. Balance in holding on and letting go.
As I've mentioned it is going to be quite the year around here.
Looking at what is in store, I know now that I needed the word HARMONY at the forefront of my mind to guide me through.
There is a lot of change expected in this year. Change that is at once necessary, painful, and beautiful. There are opportunities in this year to see and do things I/we have never done before. There is opportunity for immense growth and learning.
All the while it is HARMONY that allows for the leaning into change. It is that balance that knows when to hold tight and when to let go. It isn't going to be easy, not at all. But it is going to be worth it. It is going to be so beautiful when we can look back at the colorful tapestry that was woven through our lives in these 365 days.
Out of clutter, find simplicity
From discord, find harmony
In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity
-Albert Einstein
