In January, I mused and mused on a
word that resonated with me for 2014. Intuition? Love? Compassion? Fabulous
words that could reveal many a lesson, but none felt like the right fit for the
2014 journey.
Now the winter winds have passed
and glorious sunshine is here, I found myself freshly inspired by my May
Birthday. In the whirlwind of birthday excitement and dreams, the word for
2014, or really my 24th year, emerged all decked out in glitter and
sunrays. SPARKLE. Yes! Yes! This
is the word, my heart proclaimed. My 24-year-old self wants to Sparkle!
Sparkle invites my inner light to
SHINE through writing, dancing, playfully chic outfits, and yummy yoga
practices.
Sparkle keeps me shimmering,
burning through thought and relationship patterns that no longer serve me, and
creating warmth and space for those that do.
Sparkle ignites the flame for
creativity, encouraging me to be bold and brave, to write from the heart and
dance wildly!
Sparkle snaps her fingers and
sways her hips. Stay sassy, and be proud of your feistiness, she says with a
wink.
Sparkle, my pink and golden
glittery friend, I am happy you jumped out and shouted, HEY! She’s my road trip
companion for this 24th year’s journey, and I’m curious and excited to see what
lessons she’ll bring.
So as Zora Neal Hurston says, “Show
Your Shine! Jump At the Sun!”
And I’ll add, Sparkle On, Dear Readers, Sparkle On!
