Happy New Year

2018 was… full.

I published a book. Dude. (It still blows my mind.)

I was too terrified to eat for days. (That was awful in a whole lot of ways.)

Some years you are just SO GLAD they are over, you know what I mean? Like you can shut the door on that time and finally take a deep breath again. It feels like one of those for me. The year was not catastrophic by any measure. My children and my husband are warm and safe here at home as I write this. My parents- all still living, are healthier than they have been for a while, and the house still stands around us. And yet- I feel like I’ve been through the FIRE these past 12 months. Something heavy in my heart told me change was on the horizon. I felt it deep in my core. Like the spooling, building music of a movie that tells you to look for the big action. There’s been a constant question- what is COMING?

But from where I sit tonight on the cusp of the new year, there IS one thing I know the changing calendar will bring: 365 opportunities.

The chance to start. Or the opportunity for a do-over. The realization that whatever happened last year, we have an opening here into a wholly new experience. To build on that which we have been striving for, or to enter in to something completely fresh. A blank slate. A white canvas.

This is Grace. A new start. An open door. A POSSIBILITY. A hundred million BILLION possibilities! And it’s just THERE. Waiting for us to grab hold of it. A gift sitting on our laps, bought, paid for, wrapped and presented. And all we need to do is OPEN it.

But Friends, here’s the thing- New Years is still a few days away,

but there is no need to wait. Grace is here for us every moment.

There is only one resolution we need open our eyes on tomorrow.
