As has been my practice for many years, I spent the last weeks of last year saying farewell to my words for 2013 and allowing myself to dream and feel what I need to bring into my life for this new year. I always enjoy this process and savour it by gently taking my time.

I dreamt. I walked. I reflected. I meditated. I felt. I wrote. I shared. I connected. And then I let it be and just sat!

Breathe in. Breathe out. And reflect.

And now 2014 has arrived so quickly! I have managed to continue to step gently into this year bringing my reflections along.

These are my three words for 2014 – commitment, forgiveness and creativity. I feel these are big ones which suits my sense of this year. I think 2014 will be a big year.

I want to commit to taking a very big mouthful of (my) life and savouring it slowly and mindfully while walking my talk.

I want to forgive myself and release those shackles I have created in my mind. I want to forgive me – the me I am now, the little girl me and all the me’s in between. Breathe.

I want to create (my) life and feel creativity in all aspects of my life so that I can weave my beautiful journey. This thing we call life.

In. Out. Reflect.

I am excited to explore these words more and to see where they lead me in 2014. I really hope that you will keep me company on this journey and walk gently with me.

Did you say farewell to your intentions for 2013 before you set new ones for this year? Please share your thoughts with other soulsisters (and brothers) here. And if you think someone else would enjoy this, please feel free to share it.

with love, Delicia x
