Hey Jude, You'll Do

It's a new year! Wow, so that happened. And here we are. I am excited and find myself hopeful, encouraged, and courageous. It seems I know what the possibilities and opportunities might be that lie ahead, though not clear and not having presented themselves, I can feel it, I sense it, it seems big things are happening, and I don't mean just for me. A collective movement towards change, towards awareness, towards a consciousness that is kinder and more strategic and sustainable (I love that word ❤ and the concept. Why did we ever Stop thinking about the long term sustainability of our planet, our bodies, our collective here in this place? Well I guess we just had to learn it for ourselves, just like Dorothy leaving Kansas, see, I told you everything goes back to the wizard of Oz hehe... anywho) .

Even though I feel these things happening and I know that it is all happening just as it should and in its correct time, there is definitely an uncertainty, a worry, a limiting belief, a sort of sabotage that goes on in the shedding of old ways. When we are faced with the possibilities of a future brighter than we could have ever imagined, or an opportunity beyond our wildest dreams, we always have a choice. Will we step back, sink in and play it safe, just as we've always done, or will we step forward, lean in, and trust with open arms and hearts that what has arrived is serving our best interests no matter the outcome? 

Lean in. Embrace it. Enjoy it. Love with your heart open, trusting that all of it, everything is for you. You don't need anything more, nothing or no one else is the solution to any of your "problems" or your being "stuck". Get out of your own way. Make space for you, for all of it. For all of your uniqueness to shine. That's what you are here to do. That's what we are meant to do. Each and every one of us. When we recognize the excuses we're making, the ways we are holding ourselves back, we can stop the patterns, we can hack our mindsets and therefore our lives, and make way for our limitless potential to unfold. And it will unfold whether we like it or not. We either fight it or we let it flow. As one of my oldest and dearest friends, Leanne, would say, "Go wth the flow, like a river". And that's that. Let what comes come, let what is, be. Be thankful for it. Pour your love on it. Open your heart. That's what we're here to do.

Leaving you with some of the lyrics of one of my favorite songs, "Hey Jude" by The Beatles, because, if you haven't found out already, the Beatles said it first:

"Hey Jude,

Don't make it bad

Take a sad song 

And make it better

Remember 

To let her into your heart

Then you can start

To make it better

Hey Jude

Don't be afraid

You were made to

Go out and get her

The minute

You let her under your skin

Then you begin

To make it better 

So let it out

And let it in

Hey Jude 

Begin

You're waiting for

Someone to 

Perform with

Well don't you know

That IT'S JUST YOU

Hey Jude 

YOU'LL DO

The movement you need

IS ON YOUR SHOULDER..."

Hey Jude, that's you. You've got it. Right here. Right now. This. Is. It..
