Happy New Year, all my lovelies!
I am so happy to be back in La-La-Land but was so exhausted from our trip that Paul actually had to wake me up to say a midnight happy new year...
(That's right, I'm officially no longer in my twenties.)
And I've only got a few minutes...I'm sneaking in a blog post while my better half showers, but I wanted to take this time to wish you not just a happy new year (which I do), and not just so much success and fulfillment in 2011 (which I do), but also to remind you, on this day when so many of us are consumed with thoughts of how we can do it better...THIS year, finally, I will achieve perfection!! (that kind of thing)...to remind you that you ALREADY are perfect, and that your job in this brand-spanking-new year (new DECADE) is not to get it right. It really isn't.
So, perhaps instead of thinking about all of the things you could or ought to do, how this year will finally be the year, maybe instead you could use today as an opportunity to breathe a little deeper...
to relax your jaw and your eyeballs in their sockets...
to be sweet to yourself...
and to just give yourself total permission to CHILL. I mean it. TOTAL and absolute permission.
and maybe that chilled-out-ness might soften your heart a bit more, and set the tone for a year full of sweetness, full of gentleness, and full of total with-yourself-ness.
THAT is what I wish for you...
Happy 2011!!
