Yeah I know…I’m a few days late. 😉
But in terms of letting 2014 sink in and being ready to embrace 2015….well let’s just say there have been some major changes in my life recently (which I’ll be telling you all about veeeery soon. Â And yeah, I know it’s really unfair to do that to you!), which means it took quite some sinking in.
But I’m not the only one.
You may have had some massive changes last year. Â Some you call good. Â Some you call bad. Â Some you’d like to forget. Â Some you are still integrating into your reality.
If you’ve had a death…or deaths…in your life last year you may have been one of those folk wishing good riddance to a ghastly year. Â But hold on a second…
Every year of your life matters. Â Every year of your life has worth and meaning and beauty. Â Whatever it was that happened…it changed you…it grew you. Â It may very well still be changing you and growing you. Â 2014 is a part of who you are and a part of the story that makes up your life and it always will be. Â Don’t just wish it away and boot it out the door. Â Because every year of your life is valuable. Â Every moment of your life is valuable.
And if someone you love died last year, then definitely don’t just wish it away and boot it out the door. Because 2014 was the last year of their life, the last chapter of the story of the life they lived. Â It’s important. Â It matters. Â It deserves to be honoured for this reason as well as many others.
Take the time to reflect on 2014 and thank it for the year it was, for the piece of your life it was. Â And take the time to welcome in this new year of your life – whatever it may bring you. Â That’s precisely what I’m doing.
Much love,
Kristie

The great pianist Rubinstein, after failing to kill himself, realized the only way to be truly alive is to celebrate everything, the so-called “weeds” as well as the so-called “roses”!
So right : ‘if someone you love’ died. Always seems to be expressed as ‘someone you loved’ which is so wrong. Love is never ending.
