A 2022 Declaration

Every year around October, I typically go into hibernation mode. I reflect on the year it has been and the people that have had an active presence in my life and I evaluate what I have learned from them and whether they should remain. I do this every year, without fail. But this year has been different. Perhaps it is because energetically the world has shifted in so many ways, I have found myself reflecting and evaluating at a faster rate as I do. I also experienced Spirit guiding me to tap out of this year much sooner than October. And I did!
During the time I was asked to tap out, I got really clear about people that were currently a part of my life for ulterior reasons and motives. I reflected on what was showing up within me during that time that I called to them in some way. I reflected on those I looked up to as teachers and mentors that I felt abused their positioning and made me question not only my gifts, but my wisdom and who I am. I looked at every aspect of my life and what was present and how it did or did not align with what I said I wanted in my life. And I threw most if not all of it out.
This has felt like a very heavy lift on life for me. This included selling the first home my husband and I ever purchased and getting down to one vehicle. It came down to allowing ourselves to surrender and be in a position to receive and be cared for by those who were in our community, in more ways than one. My family slept in other people’s houses, crashed on couches, lived in hotels and racked up Air BnB points for others. All of this happening while I was running a publicly successful business and supporting community in ways I questioned if I even had the capacity to do.
And of the healing that has taken place through my journey of obedience to all that was happening. the surrendering and choice not to battle or refute what was has made it all worth it. No, I do not necessarily know what 2022 is going to look or feel like, but I do not it feels more aligned with where I am at in life. Where my spirit and heart desires to go and flow.
So, my declaration for 2022 is that I will allow all that is for me to show up in its time for me. I call all of my power, thoughts, energy and deepest desires back to me. I release expectations of others to see or witness me and release the need for others to understand MY journey. For those showing up here for the adventure, well I pray you are able to find a deep love and healing that feels like freedom and wreaks of liberation.
