A Quieter Season

Welcome to fall, at least that’s what the calendar says.  I am not sure the weather has gotten the message yet. This year I have the privilege of turning 50, living in an empty nest and actually following through on a list of plans I have for myself both personal and professional.  As a child, I thought 50 year old adults were ANCIENT.  I don’t feel ancient, not even sure how it got here so fast. What I can say is this, there is no substitute for life experience and I feel incredibly fortunate.  This may sound so obvious to my friends that have already pasted these markers, but there is a wisdom that comes through living your years.  I think its the more challenging times that I credit the most.  For its the challenging times that I have received some precious gifts. 

Competence - because I didn’t know I could until I had to over and over again.

Peace - because there has been extended periods of chaos

Confidence - because I didn’t know I could until it showed up and I still survived.

Heartbreak - because if there is no opening in the heart how will the love get in or out.

Vulnerability - because I have less to prove, more to give and I am okay with heartbreak.

Here’s to accepting and allowing what’s to come and appreciating every moment, because if I have gained wisdom in anything it's this… the moments are fleeting and you never get them back.  Come wish me happy birthday with your time and a hug.  I’d love to see you at the studio (there are several events just keep scrolling) or at YouniverSoul Fest October 19th.  I plan on celebrating for the rest of the year.

Namaste, 

Kim
