For a New Beginning

“In out-of-the-way places of the heart,

Where your thoughts never think to wander,

This beginning has been quietly forming,

Waiting until you were ready to emerge.

For a long time it has watched your desire,

Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,

Noticing how you willed yourself on,

Still unable to leave what you had outgrown.

It watched you play with the seduction of safety

And the gray promises that sameness whispered,

Heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent,

Wondered would you always live like this.

Then the delight, when your courage kindled,

And out you stepped onto new ground,

Your eyes young again with energy and dream,

A path of plenitude opening before you.

Though your destination is not yet clear

You can trust the promise of this opening;

Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning

That is at one with your life’s desire.

Awaken your spirit to adventure;

Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;

Soon you will be home in a new rhythm,

For your soul senses the world that awaits you.”

By John O’ Donohue

A New Beginning, just like 2016!

Whatever YOUR beginnings are-

If you don’t know yet, I wish for you space and time to discover them;

to explore, dream, to awaken.

I wish for us the ability to leave what we have outgrown and

the realization that safety is illusory.

Let’s step on new ground, be energized on our path, leap for joy!

I’ve unfurled myself. I challenge YOU to unfurl…

Yet- I humbly ask- that

we do it TOGETHER.

Let’s all of us hold NOTHING back in 2016.

Let’s find that new rhythm and play to our heart’s content.

I intend to save many lives this year as a Health Coach.

The world awaits us.
