One thing that having a child has done for me, is I have really become aware of the simple joys in life… quiet walks in nature, trips to the grocery store, planning and making meals, coffee with friends, cuddling in a warm bed and drinking a hot cup of tea and doing nothing.
Usually when I have spaciousness in my life… I find I am the most creative and happy. In general, I have a tendency to fill the “voids” in my life with more things and tasks. I find this is one of the biggest things that cause stress in my life, not having enough down time for doing nothing. Maya my daughter is the same way, if we over schedule our days then both of us are tired and fussy.
As we enter into 2014… I always like to have a word or theme that sets my focus for the year. In the past years some of my “theme” words have been: abundance, simplicity, focus etc.
This year… it feels like it will be a year of expansion and growth with hopefully lots of spaciousness built in. The word this year is EXPANSION… creating more space in my personal life for down time and hopefully creating more physical space for The Wellness Center.
Yes, I am currently working with Whole Foods to see if The Wellness Center can add 1-2 additional treatment rooms. We are still in the planning and negotiation phase but it all looks very promising.
What is your theme or word for 2014?
Wishing you and your family only the best in the coming year.
