simple shui tips

today is my birthday.

and it’s a thousand shades of lovely.

after all, it shares orbit with the glitz + glam, sparkle + shine of a brand new year.

when twenty fifteen tumbled in, i was hoping it would look like the life of the party.

but the stars aligned differently. and so much of what came about was unpredictable. i felt outside my jurisdiction pretty much all the time. my biggest challenge? staying motivated without feeling disheartened.

however.

and that’s a BIG however.

when you spend a year tangled in questions, you embrace some answers along the way.

so, in anticipation and celebration of 2016 and my 41st year, a brand new manifesto. . .

  • twenty sixteen’s hashtag: ENERGY WELL SPENT.
  • be BOLD, baby, and don’t back away from it. especially when my heart shivers and voice shakes.
  • intuition is my practical MAGIC. my superpower. my shui swag.
  • GIVE generously but wisely, so i’m not being used.
  • listen carefully, but not at the expense of my own VOICE.
  • keep my heart wide OPEN. because even when things get jammed, the universe is always staring right back at me. smiling with mad, mad LOVE.

thank you, 2015, for the hard knocks. and, hiya, 2016 – there’s some stardust with my name on it, yes? time to let it start ricocheting off the walls!
