Happy New Year!! 💥

2022, you were a year of expansion. My desire going into last year was to expand my business (whatever that is these days— coaching + yoga teaching + retreat leading + lots of consulting + tour guiding). To expand my sense of the world even more. To stretch into the places I’d been worried about stretching into. To expand my horizons (done and done so many times over).

I had wild times and fun times and so many more plane rides than 2020/2021 (duh). I spent a lot of time simply saying “YES!” I traveled places and did things not expecting anything in particular, planning even less than I normally do (which is saying something cause y’all, I am not much of a planner). I moved around this beautiful globe enjoying the precious moments that unfolded and truly, maybe for the first time ever, feeling truly present and at home wherever I was.

One of my best friends commented last night, right before midnight, that 2022 was the year where he felt the very most like himself, in all situations, wherever he was, and I couldn’t agree more. Also shout out to @dylanlouiswilliams - boiii your perspective constantly helps me grow.

I’m constantly trying, like really hard, to not fall into “shoulds” and the way things oughta look and what we oughta be doing.

So I wanna say: if you haven’t chosen a word or an intention or a goal or (god forbid in this day and age!!) a resolution— you’re still doin’ it right.

But I, superior word chooser that I am, have chosen one and it’s been percolating for a few months now and here we are:

My 2023 word is INTENTION. Or put differently, my intention is intention.

My plan is to write more on this in the next few days, so for now— enjoy this precious Sunday and that’s all for now. Happy new year, friends!!
