As we enter into a new year it can often be a time of reflection. A time to catch our breathe and take inventory. Life continues to be a series of ebbs and flows, gains and losses. Depending on where the waves of your heart are a new year can be a hopeful new beginning or a painful new chapter. One of the hardest things to do is to surrender to what is today and remain open to what will be. I continue to be invited into the miracle of the open heart and the beauty and life it can bring in the midst of every season. Whatever chapter you are currently in fight to keep your heart open... as hard as it can be I don't think you'll regret it. It's where your life is actually lived, and actually living your life is no small task.
