THE YEAR 2022 - How does this story end?

Hello beautiful soul!

"What do you want to celebrate about 2021?"

Here was my answer that I would love to share with you...

I celebrate "me". I am celebrating the extent to which I love.

I celebrate that even in the most challenging moments when we were navigating family drama, the most challenging season of our marriage - I did it from a place of Love. 

I let Love lead the way...and I am so proud of myself. I love how I loved...and if tomorrow was my last day here on Earth, I know as soon as I take that last gasp of breath - I loved well - and with everything I had. 

2021 Love led the way.

....and Love also led the way in 2020, 2019, and 2018....and I would go all the way to 2010.

2010 was the year my first marriage ended - and it was at the ending of this marriage I had the most profound insight into what Love truly is - and the insight was that I had no idea what Love genuinely was.

It was the first moment I acknowledged that I had NO IDEA what Love was... there was my idea of Love; there were my thoughts about Love, my opinion on it...and truth was, I had no idea what it truly is - besides relating it to a feeling, to feeling good, and that it's something we all want. 

At this point, I promised always to have Love lead the way and be committed to embodying and understanding what Love truly is.

Around this time, the question, "What would Love do?" also came into my consciousness. It is one of my guiding questions. My North Star.

And till this day, I continue to expand my relationship with Love.

Why am I sharing this?

Because we have all collectively completed a revolution around the Sun - and so, how was it for you?

If tomorrow was your last day on Earth, and you're taking your last gasp of air - How did you Live? How did you Love?

So then - let's imagine for a moment, it's December 31st, 2022.

How does this story end? Is it going to be more of the same?.... 

How are your relationships? How are your children? How's your relationship with yourself?

I don't teach, share, and guide families on parenting because I want you to have a better relationship with your children.

I do it because of this primary reason.

To heal our model of Love.

If I asked you:

• When was the last time you were kind to yourself?
• When was the last time you forgave yourself?
• When was the last time you were compassionate to yourself?
• When was the last time you trusted yourself?
• When was the last time you trusted your Heart?
• When was the last time you voiced what you needed?
• When was the last time you asked for help?
• When was the last time you received Love?
• When was the last time you were patient with yourself?

....if you answered more than a week ago for most, something is amiss.

How about these questions then:

• When was the last time you judged yourself?
• When was the last time you doubted yourself?
• When was the last time you questioned yourself?
• When was the last time you berated yourself?
• When was the last time you criticised yourself?
• When was the last time you were impatient with yourself?
• When was the last time you felt you should be "moving faster" and "doing better"?
• When was the last time you were hard on yourself?
• When was the last time you said "yes" to others and "no" to yourself?
• When was the last time you felt everything was your fault?

Now... if you answered less than a week ago for most, something is amiss.

Let's try some more questions:

• Do you judge your anger?
• Do you judge your sadness?
• Do you judge your grief?
• Do you judge your jealousy?
• Do you judge yourself when you feel helpless?

Now....you might say to me - Oh, I don't feel those things, Yummii - so then I would ask if your children or loved ones felt those things, how would you respond?

If your initial reaction is "to fix it",... it is a symptom of being led by Fear.

If you're impatient with yourself, you see, you're impatient with others. 

If you're hard on yourself, you're hard on others.

If you have expectations of perfection for yourself - you expect perfection from others.

If you don't trust yourself and your Heart, you don't trust others and their Heart.

Most parents wish they were more present and patient with their children - thinking it must be some strategy.

It's straightforward - be present and patient with yourself first.

Oh, Yummii - it's not that simple.... (Did I read your mind? ;) )

It is. And it's not easy.......Because you have a broken model of Love.

So many of us have an unconscious relationship to Love - mixing it up with perfection and denying our humanity.

That's why we get messed up about it!

And that's why we struggle when times are tough in our relationships, parenting, and experience of worthiness and wholeness.

We "think" our way to Love - and that's not where Love lives.

We "think" our way through our relationships. Our mind is in the driver's seat of our lives.

And herein lies the generational wound around Love.

The Mind doesn't Love. It's not its job nor its purpose. The mind is beautiful and exquisite - and it's not where Love lives.

Now - it's 2022. My invitation to you is this.

Imagine it's 31st December 2022. Connect to this future version of you.

How did they live? How did they love? How does the story of 2022 end of them?

Was it one led by Fear? Or was it one led by Love?

My invitation is that you consciously choose to have Love win.

Happy New Year beautiful soul.

I look forward to doing 2022 with you - and doing it led by Love.

Yummii xx
