Finally I’m living my Word(s) of the year! Jump/Leap Fearlessly! I finally did it, gave notice at my corporate job (after 12 years) and ill be out there from May 1st leaping heart first into my new life. Yes it is exciting and a little scary too, this unknown space I’m treading into. I have no idea what to expect and no idea what will happen, but I do know that my heart is in it 100% and that the universe and my inner guide (who has been super kind to me of late) will show me the way, send me signs open new possibilities, challenges and so much more that will nurture my soul and wellbeing.
Growing my creative self and following my passion
is what I aim to do.
Today as I count down, I have also made a promise to myself: to nurture my physical body, both inside and out, embrace my community both locally and in our virtual world (love you guys!), express myself more through meaningful activities, including art, photography and time to enjoy my surroundings and outside space, make time for quiet, sunshine, friends & family, yoga, meditation and myself, just to be good to myself……something that is so. overdue.
My “Inspiration Glass Pendants”: Going up in the shop this week!Fan me on facebook to find out when!
I cannot begin to describe how I’m feeling right now. A sense of freedom of the time that’s yet to come, but also the anxiety and fear that has a danger of creeping in as the time draws closer. I know I’m doing the right thing and those butterflies in my tummy are going to be dancing for the next few weeks!
How are you all feeling today? Did you make a Word of the year? Remember how important this is to you, what small steps can you take? everyday to
Make it Happen

Yay! Yay! Yay! I am celebrating for you. That is such wonderful and inspiring news. I can't wait to see where you fly to now.
I would love it if you would join my {messages from the universe} flickr group by the way, and load your 'signs' up for the group.
I am sooo excited for you, Louise! Isn't it a wonderful feeling to know you are where you need to be? I gave up teaching English at a community college to finally pursue my dream, and I've never looked back. It was frightening at first, yes, but to have the courage to do it after years of wishing I could was priceless. I can't wait to hear about your journey and all the fabulousness that is coming your way, dahling!! xXoO Gwynnie

Louise- I am so excited for you! I had a feeling this was the dilemma you wrote about recently. It is amazing to see you living your words of the year. Living your passion. You really did jump and leap fearlessly. I can't wait to see where you go from here.
That Mondo Beyondo class must be pretty amazing!
Love your new pendant!
And I really agree about the self care. You HAVE to take care of yourself. Is is so important.
That is fantastic! I am so proud of you. This blog made me tear up. You are doing what I hope to do. No more excuses for me. Enjoy this time in your life. A big day for you!
EXCELLENT news Louise! You are such an inspiration. And as we are all seeing "signs" everywhere, your post happens to be a sign for me today. How fun is that?
Wonderful! Well done. I did the same over a year ago. No regrets! I am still in close contact with my ex -colleagues and don't feel the urge to go back at all even though I earn a lot less (at the moment!!). Funny, am also wanting to make huge changes in diet, exercise, restart yoga. Its all so linked isn't it/ x
