December .. can anyone actually believe its DECEMBER! This year has just flown by and in my opinion this year feels like it has gone faster then any other on record!
I recently had my 40th Birthday !! Where are all my Sagittarius gals at? Its actually mind blowing to me that I am in the 40's club! ha ha wow !! Where did time go.. I actually still feel 21 !
Anyway I get a bit nostalgic and reflective at this time of year and this one was worse then ever.. I started thinking about my life, the past, the year just gone, the things I did and didn't achieve .. plus the fact ...I AM 1/2 way to 80!! ha ha
IT ALL BEGAN CREEPING UP ON ME!
I had to remind myself to stop and breathe!! To take some of my wonderfully calming Crisis Care Flower Essence blend and realise that its the end of the year and not the end of the world.
After some more self reflection, a good cry, a breath-work session (with more tears) and some powerful journalling I came to my center again. I realised that many people say (this time of year) that you have a whole new 365 days about to begin and that you can do anything you put your mind and soul too.
I also had the wise word of a beautiful soul saying to me that life begins at 40 and that her years in her 40's have been the best yet!! So I have decided that I want to do some different things in 2025. Watch this space!!
I like the saying or quote .. "if nothing changes nothing changes", or the one that says "if you always do what you have always done you with always get what you have always got". So 2025 I am going to change things up a bit.
While I am here I just really wanted to remind you particularly at this Christmas and New Year Holiday season that it is often a very difficult time for many people.. we are all tired, stressed, overcommitted and frankly needing to set some boundaries. Plus the fact we are missing our family/friends/loved ones who have crossed over and the fact we dont get to spend precious time with them in person is actually heart breaking.
If I can give you a couple piece of advice its.. SLOW DOWN AND REMEMBER TO BREATHE!! If you need to cancel a party or social gathering or change your hectic schedule to give yourself some "me time" you should do that ! This crazy time of year can lead to burn out and health issues.. so please take time to look after yourself.
Last but not least .. please remember to be kind .. you actually never know what someone is going through and how you treat them could actually be the difference between make or break. Kindness can go a long way when someone is feeling sad or emotional.
Thanks so much to all my customers and clients who have supported my blossoming business Waratah Within .. I really appreciate each and every one of you. I hope to bring some exciting things into fruition in 2025. Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year ahead!
Much love
