Final Thoughts on 2007

Inspired by Andrea...

I am proud of myself for the amazing inner work I have done this year. I am proud of myself for healing relationships with those I love. I am proud of myself for speaking my truth when it was the most terrifying thing to do. I am proud of myself for paying off some big debts. I am proud of myself for being gentle with myself. I am proud of myself for learning to accept my body. I am proud of myself for seeking my own answers. I am proud of myself for saying no to the things that didn't feel right, and for saying yes to the things that did. I am proud of myself for learning to take inspired action. I am proud of myself for listening to my inner voice. I am proud of myself for taking the time to get quiet and rest. I am proud of myself for taking a yoga class. I am proud of myself for teaching children how to read, for making learning fun, and for creating a colorful, exciting classroom. I am proud of myself for taking responsibility for what I create with my thinking. I am proud of myself for making time to nurture my friendships. I am proud of myself for being brave enough to forgive, heal, grow, and just be myself. I am proud of myself for loving in a big way.

I forgive myself for not taking care of my body well, for getting angry, for being impatient, for not doing it perfectly. I forgive myself for my messy closet, for not scrubbing the shower often enough, for the baskets of laundry that litter my floor. I forgive myself for neglecting some friendships. I forgive myself for saying yes when I meant no. I forgive myself for being a totally imperfect kindergarten teacher. I forgive myself for blaming others for my unhappiness. I forgive myself for giving in to the negativity and having some really shitty days. I forgive myself for watching really crappy television. I forgive myself for neglecting the things I love. I forgive myself for falling off the wagon, disconnecting, and forgetting Who I Am.

2007 was a year for going within, healing, and growing in some really big ways.
2008 is going to be a year of living from within and creating.

What will 2008 bring about in your life?

Love to all.
