Happy New Year beloved ones. I have been eager to welcome you to 2018. My plan was to be ready come January 1st with my whole 2018 plan including a beautiful, inspirational blog post for all of you.

Ha! My wise Soul had other plans.

I got sick right after Christmas and I was still sick on New Year's Day. I admit parts of me worried that this was a bad omen. That, somehow this meant, my year was going to, well, suck.

But then, underneath all of my worries, my steady patient Soul reminded me that this was not an omen, nor a punishment. That this illness had forced me to be in stillness in a way nothing else would have done. I had to slow down and retreat. I couldn't even distract myself with a good book, because I felt too sick to read. So all I could do was be with my Soul.

As I sat in stillness I remembered that 2018 is a year two in numerology (add the digits 2+0+1+8=11, then reduce 11 by adding the digit, 1+1=2). If you have been following me for a while you might recall that 2017 was a year one. A year one was all about setting a strong foundation and about new beginnings. And, because new beginnings, inevitably mean endings as well, many of you had some pretty intense initiations in 2017 that often included relationship and/or career endings.
