A first for me!

So I spoke of the promise of the new year.....the goals and plans I have, which I will cast and write about next week but........I had a cool opportunity come my way recently and will be doing it on Tuesday! Somebody I know has a daughter that does a podcast......it is about "life curious women" and she shared the info with me and thought that my story may be one that her daughter would be interested in.......so I reached out and filled out her Google Form and she got right back and was interested! :)So I am going to be on her podcast on Tuesday! I am so excited, and very interested in that form of communication, and want to explore more of it to perhaps team up with a friend in the new year and do our own:) SO stay tuned:) But it all reminds me that where our focus goes is what we grow......I did my favorite meditation yesterday......and was reminded of that simple yet powerful notion.......the stuff we spend our time doing in our lives.....is the stuff that grows and makes up our lives......and when we neglect or turn our attention away from something too it dies out, or withers away.....so it is really so so important to remain conscious and intentional about where we are spending our energy and what we do daily......I still get a kick out of the fitness gains I achieve on a regular basis now, even though I work toward it every day.....of course it is going to happen......so that is the secret sauce.....giving that energy to our dreams, not our fears and worries......and waking up and doing it again.....and the world tends to threaten to derail that.....I know that myself.....as big life stuff shows up, or stresses come find me......it threatens to grab my attention from the cool stuff I am growing and wanting, to pull me back into old patterns and into futile endeavors.....so I am forever walking the line of honoring my feelings and nudgings, but not getting caught up into overthinking and worrying or staying stuck......but I guess consciousness is the key there....as long as you are aware that awareness can help you transcend your old self and your old ways and help to solidify those new ones......so my INTENTIONAL plan is to ride through Christmas, whatever that will look like....and then spending next week making plans and feeding my new goals and dreams for the New Year, all the while enjoying being with my children for another week:) Some doctor's appointments sprinkled in there too;-) Going into 2023 with determination to feed what I want to grow and starve the things that need to go:)
