As I sit here on New Years Eve 2025 I reflect back on my journey of awakening, or lets say, remembering who I really am at the soul level. I have teetered on the edge of sanity. Felt bliss as the wind caressed my cheek and walked through the dark corridors of my mind wondering if I would ever find my way out. I have lost loved ones and friends who no longer understand me or who are repelled by the light I now carry from the pain I have endured.

As Rumi says: “The wound is the place where the light enters you.”

I have sunken into the deep dark abyss and been stripped of everything including my job, finances, sense of security and even my dignity. I have risen to the highest highs and experienced the most profound soul love that words cannot touch. I have cried a river of tears and climbed mountains only to tumble down and crawl back up again. Through all of it, I never once thought about giving up.

I knew that I could not stop what has been set in motion by my own soul before descending into this realm.

I realize on this eve before the new year that my work is DONE. I have not become a “better” version of myself by picking up truths or lessons on my journey. I have remembered my own divinity by dropping everything that was never mine to carry in the first place. I can now be who I’ve always been under the layers and layers of conditioning. I am ready to live now and not just survive but thrive. I want to experience the world free of fear and self imposed constraints.

I want to travel and not only see but experience beautiful sites and cultures. I want to visit real castles and step into enormous cathedrals across the lands. I want to allow my soul to run free and play in the wind and rain and laugh at who I “thought” I was. I want to sing at the top of my lungs out of tune in a crowd of people…who cares? It is all about letting your soul dance to it’s own music and being free while in physical form. Nobody owns me, I am a sovereign being that can do and go wherever I want, whenever I please, with no shackles on me. I want to see/touch beautiful art, textures/colors and eat fine cuisine. I want to jump in the sea and wash off any old residue of my former self. Throw the salty water up in the air and scream to the sky, I MADE IT!!

My soul yearns to experience liberation like it never has before.

I am ready for adventure, aliveness and freedom, I want to love fiercely and kiss deeply with no barriers against love. I want to live from a place of abundance and not scarcity because truly, abundance is our birthright in all aspects. I am ready for movement as stillness has been my life for far too long now. I may have endured a lot but, every thing/challenge that showed up on my path was worth me remembering who I really am and connected me back to my true self, my heart, and our Creator.

Are you feeling the same? Have you been holding back from allowing yourself to fully live? If so, I hope these words inspire you to live from your heart and soul unencumbered by external influences that impede or take you away from your true self. I hope you feel the shift and use the medicine the horse energy has to offer ALL of us this year. You are a beautiful soul having a human experience here to live out a life filled with love, happiness and prosperity in the most exquisite way. May these words find whoever needs to hear them and serve them well. Happy New Year!

I am going to start this new year with my soul ablaze and I don’t foresee anything stopping me. Giddy-up!
