A friend recently posted her reflections from 2009 and hopes for 2010, and I was especially intrigued and touched by her chosen theme for the coming year -- gentleness. It's my friend's intention to be gentle with herself this year, releasing herself from the bindings of the need for perfection and from the desire to do all and be all. Isn't that lovely? I thought it was a wonderful theme for the year, and it got me to thinking. I post a lengthy channeled message every month -- as well as one for the entire year -- which typically includes a theme for that period of time. Why not choose one (or listen to the one your heart sings to you) on a personal level each year?
2009 has been a wonderful year for me. In many ways, I became more of myself this year than in any other year I can remember. I feel joy, even in darker times of frustration or fear. I've learned that everything does indeed change -- even the "good" things -- and that I am more joyful overall when I remember to feel myself as part of this flow, this never-ending series of cresting and receding waves of being. Looking now at the year ahead, I see more of this for myself, and in that more there is also more for those whose lives I touch. I'm so grateful to be a part of so many lives around the world. Sometimes at night I can feel myself as part of a universal pulse that includes you and all those around the world, and it feels good. What will 2010 bring to your life? What gifts will you invite for yourself?

I have decided that the coming year, for myself, will be about expansion. Already I am practicing what it means to be a fully -- as best I can -- expanded human, feeling my awareness expand into a greater wholeness and making choices from that perception, but I'm still working on this. I still feel triggered at times by things that annoy me or unnerve me. I still have trouble forgiving myself for being human and making mistakes. My intention, then, with expansion, is to bring the entire practice of being human into being and into the space around me. Consciously, and with intention.
