Spilling Open

I poured a cup of tea, light a candle, and set out a few cookies.  I was setting the stage and preparing to dig into Spilling Open.  Each December I will grab my notebook and answer many of the same questions.  This year I decided to pull all of those questions together and create a one of kind printable PDF that included not only the questions but poetry and inspiration to inspire and ignite the spark.  I created this because I love reflecting on the year that has passed.  It is healing for me to journey through what was and set intentions for what I hope will be.

I listed my top 10 moments from 2014.  I relived my biggest adventure and praised what I am most proud of.  I learned from what tested me and discovered many things about where I live.  

I then boldly stepped forward and described how I want 2015 to feel.  I dreamed big dreams and set intentions for spending more time with certain people.  I picked one thing to work on and boldly stated what I want to be celebrating when 2015 comes to a close.

The poems that I had written touched me in new ways and helped me open up my heart just a little bit more.  I felt inspired and excited.  So many good moments were spilling open and my heart filled with deep gratitude.  There is nothing better than reflecting back on your year and unearthing how you want the next year to feel.  I worked my way through the 74 pages and felt so satisfied and filled with love when I was done.  It has been a good year, a really good year.  

I learned:
:: That I am stronger than I ever knew I was mentally and physically
:: I can accomplish anything when I put my mind to it.  
:: Dreams comes true when you follow your heart and do not give up
:: Standing tall in who I am is necessary for me to shine and move ahead
:: I have an incredibly strong and powerful support system
