At the beginning of each year, rather than setting goals or resolutions, my friends and I choose a word. It seems like such a simple act...selecting a word that I want to incorporate into my daily life. A gentle reminder of how I want to live. Some years the choice has been anything but gentle. More like a bonk over the head every time I stray from how I want to be in this world!
This year's word has already been giving me some grief, just as I knew it would. It didn't waste anytime at all as it starting shaking me awake on January 3rd! You see I tend to be just a tad type-A with a good dose of needing to know where a path is leading and wanting to control the outcome. So for me surrender is about going with the flow. Allowing the Universe to guide me and actually listening to that guidance.
It's actually pretty freeing. Rather than working myself up into a cold sweat about things I just surrender. I no longer waste time and energy thinking I can actual force things to be a certain way. So today I'm sitting at Kelley's Coffee Shop in lovely Cayucos, CA., enjoying the sunshine and salt air. Just waiting for the day to unfold...
