I feel kind of bad saying this, but 2017 was one of the best years of my life so far. I know others didn’t like this one so much, and trust me, I’ve done my time in the past, but it really feels like I’ve stepped into a new life. If you had a rough year let my happiness be a glimpse into your future – I’m usually a bit ahead of the wave. The list of lessons in 2017 is long, but here are a few highlights…

I am always cared for. Always.
Allowing people to move into and out of my life, allows us both the freedom to grow.
People are where they are. Growth can only be instigated from within.
My energy and attention are the best gifts I can offer.
Your energy and attention are the best gifts I can receive.
My Tribe is my everything. I love you guys.
It is my responsibility to consciously choose the energy I release into this world. Always.
My favorite part of being an author is giving away the book to strangers.
A person’s energy and intentions may be one thing, but their actions may be another. Always pay attention to actions.
If I want to know what level I’m operating at, I need to look at my mate and closest friends.
If I want to know what level someone else is at, I need to look at their mate and friends.
Reality really does operate on vibration. Literally. It’s a Holodeck.
I have to take complete responsibility for what I can control.
I don’t control everything. Walking away is a perfectly reasonable answer.
Choices matter. Free will is a thing. Discernment is vital.
Leave room for unexpected joy.
Always choose Love. Even (or especially) at the expense of the ego.
Hurt people, hurt people. Healed people, heal people. Neither has much to do with me.
As above, so below. Again, it’s literal, not just a belief. Meditation works.
Yes, in fact, a wonderful mate can show up at your doorstep. Literally.
My Guides are really funny.
Time is most definitely NOT linear.
I can change my vibration just with thought.
Self-mastery is mental mastery. Bodies are effected by environment, emotions are chemical reactions, but we choose the stories we tell ourselves.
Being open to the possibilities of the Universe is both exhilarating and terrifying.
People are advancing much faster than before… *boop* they’re awake!
Simplicity brings joy.
Gratitude brings abundance.
Personal responsibility brings personal power.
Dragons. Wow.
The Universe is always conspiring in my favor, no matter how scary things seem.
Being a Gatekeeper isn’t nearly as fun as it sounds. Mostly it hurts. A lot.
I’m proud of my body for its healing abilities.
My superpower is resiliency.
When things seem dark, I need to open my heart, be grateful for what I have, and say: this, or better. It really helps.
Awakening is about awareness; mastery is about responsibility.
Mastery requires a whole new level of courage and discipline.
I have enjoyed many happy times in my life, but this is the first time I can recall being happy to be alive. It’s a strange sensation.
Always leave room for something better than I had planned.
I am truly blessed.

2017 was magical for me, even though it called for a whole new level of being. If you haven’t read it yet, here is my forecast for 2018: Illuminating the Shadow. May the coming year bring unexpected treasure. Namaste.
