When I picked out my word for the year (
dare!!) I was deeply influenced by this book
right here and thought the word would guide me in doing more, accomplishing more,
dare more..
.more more more!!! What I am discovering so far is that this word has shown up in my life in quite the opposite way...
but exactly in the way I need!!! Isn't it amazing how the Universe works??? So far...I am leaning into the wisdom of daring to do ..
.less!!! I am daring to relax, to take more time for me, for getting back to center.
I am daring to be
seen. To be vulnerable (so so difficult for me, this one!!!), to be mySELF, to not apologize for who I am. So many times...we lose ourselves (in bits + pieces that add up over time) along the way. I am daring to stop...and gather those pieces, put them back together;
repair + replenish. I am daring to shine...not by doing anything spectacular...
but simply by being me!!! A few years ago...I never would have dared to even walk down the path of
"I am enough"....but now it feels comfortable. It feels like I can stop doing so much ("hustling for worthiness" as Dr. Brene Brown says) and I can just enjoy the present moment.
"There are two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle."
-Albert Einstein
More and more...I am beginning to appreciate the daily miracles in our lives. I am daring to be...
*happy
*present
*whole
Halfway through the year and this is what my word has revealed itself in my life. Did you pick a word for the year?
What has it revealed to you?

I love this, Soraya!! Love how it is turning out in just the right way for you, even though it's different than you thought, because you stayed open to possibility! I posted a while ago about my journey with "intention", also different than I thought! I do find that the words start to build on each other over the years as you choose them. Definitely a journey.
