Surf’s Up - January

This year is going to be different than most. It is a time of change and expansion and transformation. Miracles can happen in a moment so please don’t despair. Just like your favorite movies where you are afraid the good guy won't win, he or she always comes through in the end. This too shall be the energy of this year. So have hope. Have faith that all will turn out well even if it’s not looking good.

There are many moments for each one of us to be an inspiration to others in big and small ways. Just being yourself and staying true to who you are and what you believe in during the storm of this year will be enough to inspire others to do the same. Stand strong. Stand up for what you believe in even in quiet ways where you think no one will see. Someone will see and be changed for the better. Every moment, every action tips the scales towards the light. 

January is an active month. There is no slow start. Actions can be taken now to improve your life and better your physical and mental health. Begin meditating regularly. Get some exercise. Start small if you like to get the habit started. Five minutes of meditation is better than nothing. A walk around the block is better than sitting on the couch. It all adds up. These two things will go far to help you go with the flow of the storm around you in the public eye and possibly among people in your circle. Nature is always a good respite from the crazy world. Go to the ocean or the trees or watch the birds until you feel calm again.

Pets are an important part of your life and will remain so. Engage with your pet and know that in nurturing them, you are nurturing yourself and Mother Earth. As you share love with one living thing, you share love with them all. As you look into your pet’s eyes, know that you can send Mother Earth love and light at the same time. Do this consciously to raise the light in the world. It all helps.

Walk on the path you see in front of you each day. Notice when there are offshoots to take another path and see where the light is brightest. Don’t just stay asleep following the path. The universe will sometimes send another route that is quicker, easier, or even more joyous so pay attention. Go within when faced with a choice point and see which path feels the lightest or brightest to you and take it. See how it pans out. There is no wrong answer. You learn from each path you take. You can not take a misstep. Know that you are worthy of a path filled with joy and light. You do not need to take the path of darkness and hardship to prove anything to anyone. It is all your choice on how you want to proceed. You hold the painter’s brush on the canvas of your life. No one else does. 

And finally, be the love in the room. Be the rainbow that brightens up the sky. Be the dog smile that makes people feel warm and happy inside. Be the light and hope that others look for when they are down. Be conscious of your energy and how you enter any room. Set a conscious intention to be the light and you will. It matters. Every time. People need you to be the candle light where they can get lit up again inside and carry it on to those in their circle. Be the light. Go in peace and love. You are loved.
