Wishing You A ‘Less-Is-More’ Year In 2021

The year 2020 was challenging, but not all bad. In fact, it helped me to get my life a little more ‘tuned-up.’ I slowed down and really took stock of what is most important.

I was able to spend more time at home, reflecting on what matters most, and getting more in touch with parts of myself that have been neglected for too long. Sometimes there are sacrifices when it comes to enlightenment and I guess that could be said for 2020.

I also had more time for self-care and learning the importance of it. Not just teaching the importance of it, but actually taking some of the tools to bat for myself!

I have also noticed my relationships improved a lot. I stopped communicating with all the energy thieves and psychic vampires, avoided social media, and enhanced those meaningful relationships that needed more love and care.

I do believe I generally live in a very mindful way, with awareness and discernment, but 2020 somehow just helped me see things with clear 20/20 vision on so many levels.

It may seem weird, but actually I do hope 2021 will be somewhat similar – minus the coronavirus, of course, but with continued awareness and clarity. I do not want that aspect of the year to end. It has enhanced my spirituality, health and well-being on so many levels. I think it would be such a missed opportunity to just back to the rat race mentality and start living again with all the usual pressure and stress again.

I am so incredibly grateful for the time spent at home this past year. It has been downright delightful. Who would not get great joy from curling up and spending time with yourself, your cats, and reading cool books?

Lately, I have been burning sage every morning, while having my coffee, and just really embracing the sweet stillness that can only be had at home, as I look out of my big picture window and really take in the beauty of the snow and the quiet that befalls my backyard during the holidays.

I hope that in 2021 we will continue to take stock of what is most important, and remember that we can get by on a whole lot less in life. Being able to hear yourself think and getting back in touch with our soul is priceless. I pray that 2021 will be healthier, safer and less chaotic, for us all, but still a ‘less-is-more’ kind of year. I wish you a blessed, peaceful New Year.
