SOAR...

.

So many people came up with really great "Words" they felt would represent them in 2021. Mine was Perseverance. I thought this was the perfect word for me. I thought, "Damn, I've been through a lot in my life but I persevered". It really seemed to represent me well. As the first few weeks of 2021 went by, I kept hearing this little whisper inside. (I've come to know these whispers as my spiritual guides). "Should this really be my word?" "Am I in a state of perseverance?" I felt like maybe that wasn't the right word. Although I still felt it was a "good" word, it didn't feel right as "my" word. It was a perfect word for me in the past but it just didn't feel right any more.

Then, one day I was taking a walk and I watched a blue heron take off in flight from a pond in our neighborhood. It soared. Then, I was looking through photos on my phone and I ran into this photo of my husband on top of a mountain with his arms outstretched and opening to the Universe. He was soaring. Then I thought about the things I have already accomplished in 2021 and the personal growth I have felt. I am soaring!

It became obvious that my "Word" for 2021 is SOAR ! I have written a book and it was published in 2021. I've started writing my next book. I've been working on understanding myself better and getting closer to my spirituality. Jim and I are having amazing growth in our relationship. My career is so exciting and fulfilling to me. So many good things!

Jim and I were talking the other day and we thought about our move to Tennessee. Since we have moved here there have been so many things, good and bad, that have happened. Tornados, derecho, COVID-19. My book got published. Jim has become deeply involved with the Nashville Grotto and has jumped back into caving full force. So many changes, but I am SOARING. And I plan to continue to SOAR throughout 2021. More writing, more spirituality, more fun with Jim. Everything. All of it. I'm doing it! 2021 is my year to SOAR!

Love and peace to all. Thanks for listening! <3
