I wanted to end this year with some really creative ideas, some inspiring thoughts, say some things that are very deep and clever…but the truth is that I can’t think of anything LOL.
So instead here’s a short list of a few of the books that I read this year that I really, really liked.
The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level by Gay Hendricks
Everyday Witchcraft: Making Time for Spirit in a Too-Busy World by Deborah Blake
The Second Half of Life: Opening the Eight Gates of Wisdom by Angeles Arrien
When the Heart Waits: Spiritual Direction for Life’s Sacred Questions by Sue Monk Kidd
What I’m reading right now –
Uncharted: The Journey Through Uncertainty to Infinite Possibilities by Colette Baron Reid
You Are Woman, You Are Divine: The Modern Woman’s Journey Back to the Goddess by Renee Starr
Some new stuff for 2017
I personally feel as though I’ve been transformed and I’m stepping out of an old energy that now no longer fits me and stepping into a new higher level of consciousness.
My word for 2017 is “commitment” (more on this later)
A couple of weeks ago I read about Labradorite and I immediately felt drawn to it. It holds the power for awakening the magic mystical psychic powers within, so this is my meditation/writing crystal that I am holding with me for this new year. And I signed up for The Year of Me 2017 with Nicole Cody, I love her blog Cauldrons and Cupcakes. To work with The Year of Me planner she encourages you to choose a gratitude stone. I have a desert landscape outside my house and I have river rocks and other stones that I’m not sure of what they are. But when I was looking for my gratitude stone this particular one caught my eye and I had to pick it up. I’m not sure if this will be my gratitude stone but, when I hold it I feel very grounded and connected with Mother Earth, and so it’s with me.
My oracle cards that I feel very inspired by and connected to at the moment is the Connected and Free, The Alchemist’s Oracle and these are the two cards that jumped out at me today. And there will definitely be Tarot cards in 2017.
Thank you my lovely friends wishing you
Health, Happiness, and Prosperity for you and your family
may all your dreams come true, and more…
Happy New Year!!!
