I am aware it’s been a long time between newsletters/blogs/my offerings and I have been reminding myself that I said I would share when I have something to say.
Yet, every time I am moved to share something, it changes so fast I can’t keep up!
So I don’t.

The world today is not like it was … even a year ago. The rate of technological change is breathtaking for this baby boomer and I gave up attempting to understand it all or even keep on top of it over this past year.

I have become more accepting and comfortable with being an older person who chooses to use the technology the way I want to, when I want to, rather than feeling compelled to engage in and on every platform and share everything with everyone, all the time. I have family and friends who keep urging me to try this or that and I keep saying no.

I have moments of feeling not good enough because I won’t engage in social media and the conversation in my head says: “come on, you are just being old and stubborn without even having a go … you should just try it … you can do this … etc etc”. And it’s true … I could do it, I just don’t want to!

To tell the truth about what’s so for me from my knowing, before my relentless ego mind kicks in with the “but you should …” commentary, takes practice. When I go with the flow of my knowing, things work out differently than when I agree with my “shoulds” and go down the rabbit hole of doing what I think other’s want and need from me, rather than what I want for me.

When I trust myself and what I know and make choices for me first and then you, everyone benefits and life is sweeter.

It’s taken a long while to really be ok with doing what I want when I want and it’s a relentless part of the messy human experience. Others don’t always like it and that’s something I have been accepting more and more too.

What’s key is me accepting and owning it’s ok for me.

And it’s ok for you too.

I am taking a break over the festive season from December 20th to January 12th. I am going to rest, and rest, and rest some more … It’s been a big year for me in so many ways and I am glad I can take the time to stop and BE with no agendas or have to’s.

See you in 2025.
