“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” – Carl Jung
Perfect Vision.
2020
A new year.
A new decade.
Hindsight is 2020.
I’ve got plenty of that.
A year of 22.
22, the Life Path number of a Master Teacher.
My number!
Looking ahead requires looking back.
Reflection.
Hindsight means little without insight.
Insight allows us to see ourselves more clearly.
2010 to 2020 … there are two me’s – two separate selves.
The me who lost her power.
The me who found her power.
The me who believed she had to live small.
The me who knows there’s only one way to live – to live big.
The me before Midlife.
The me at Midlife & Beyond.
A new life.
A new beginning.
Rewiring.
Inspiring.
In the last decade, a Near Death Experience almost took my life.
It didn’t take my life.
It showed me a new one.
A new way.
A new life.
The me I was is no longer.
The me I am is the true I Am.
She is me and I am her.
This past decade has taught me everything.
It kicked my ass.
My ass needed kicking.
It taught me that creativity is life giving.
It taught me that a life of purpose is a life worth living.
It taught me that a life free of abuse begins from within.
With Self Love.
With Self Respect.
It taught me that joy isn’t a destination.
Joy is a state of being.
It taught me that reality and perception aren’t the same.
It taught me that perception is everything.
It taught me that perception is a choice.
A choice to Love.
Love is a verb.
Love is an action.
It taught me that Love is who I Am – who We are.
Our essential nature.
It taught me about beauty.
True beauty.
The beauty that glows from the heart.
The beauty that grows from the heart.
The beauty that outshines all others.
It taught me about power.
True power
The opposite of force.
It taught me that I have more power than I ever dreamed possible.
Power to love.
Power to be loved.
Power to change lives.
Power to empower.
Power to inspire
Myself and others.
It taught me that life is precious.
Life is brief.
It taught me that life must be lived.
It taught me that life must be loved.
All of it.
It taught me that life happens for us – not to us.
It taught me that life is life,
And we must fight for it.
The Good Fight.
The Only Fight.
It taught me to leave the past behind,
For the present is all that matters.
It taught me that our presence is the most powerful Gift we can give.
It taught me that every day is an opportunity for a new beginning
A chance to be better than we were the day before.
A better human.
That’s all that really matters.
It taught me that revolutions begin from within.
They begin with a tiny spark;
A spark of light to dispel the darkness.
Mine and other’s.
It taught me that evolution is everything.
It taught me that LOVE is the answer.
Love will change your life.
Love will change the world.
How I love a Perfect Vision.
Welcome to 2020.

What a beautiful post, my friend! I have been getting my ass kicked lately and I think I maybe kind of needed it as well. From the fog, I am starting to see a bit more clearly. I just hope I can grab hold of that clarity and make things happen before the fog settles in again. Wishing you all the best in the new year and every year thereafter!

I understand the fog sister. I feel as though it will always return to show me that I have to continue searching deeper. The fog always clears from within first!!! Happy New Year my friend.
