i've often said that tb was an amazing gift. the amount of love and support that i felt throughout the course of my isolation period, healing, and recovery were immeasurable. it was truly humbling to experience the amount of selfless compassion and warmth from my friends, family, and community. tb also taught me the practice of surrender and patience (i'm pretty sure i've signed up for the life-long course with these, but tb gave me the 101 and masters credentials to start!) and last but not least, tb allowed me to explore the practice of gratitude in a new and profound way. from the simple to the awe-inspiring, i've gained a deeper appreciation for how much there is to appreciate in our beautifully, friendly universe:) so cheers to those life lessons that push us into new directions, reawaken our dreary souls, and clean out our hearts (when we choose to let them!).
in honor of life i've decided to commit to my own this year. while i feel i paid my dues to the tb-gods i also feel that maybe i got by too easy. yes, i learned to be gentler to myself and love deeper, but so what?! on to the next leg of the journey! this year i've been inspired to make some key changes to my diet and lifestyle that i'm knowing will leave lasting and happy effects beyond just a warm-fuzzy feeling.
a few weeks ago at the onset of my christmas vacation i came across a woman/website/book that inspired me in a way that few things have in these last few years. kris carr is my new hero. (learn more about her amazing story in dealing with/ treating/ kicking cancer's ass on her website www.crazysexylife.com. i promise she will inspire:) inspired by kris's cancer remission/treatment measures solely by the changes that she made in what she ate and thought i've decided to change my own life this year too.
this monday, january 9th, i'll be starting kris's 21-day adventure cleanse. my cousin, raquel, and i have committed to walking through the 21 days together....we're gonna be getting our crazy, sexy, mojo on! my goal is to use the adventure cleanse as a spring board to a healthier more committed lifestyle where energy abounds and radiance is the name of the game.
just now i feel myself at the end of yet another soul-season. as always there've been lots of lessons learned, laughs, and tears. here's to ushering in the new season and to sustained motivation and inspiration!
