Charged Up: A Year of Music, Self-Reflection, and Spiritual Growth in 2023

As I sit here with a dead battery, waiting for roadside assistance before I can make my trip up to Woodford for another year,
I figure, why not reflect and share my gratitude now?

This year was the year that felt like a defibrillator to my life and heart.
A year of music; concerts and festivals nearly every month—this brought so much life to my soul, to my being, and to my essence again.

A year of witnessing mySELF witness mySELF—if you know you know. Incredibly surreal, liberating, and where I have been able to shift so much.

Where I have turned from a spiritual teacher to a student of life at a deeper level. Where I have turned from spiritual bull💩er, pulled my head out of my ⭐, to be and enjoy being human again... (still with great teachings, just not so full of it or full of judgements).

A year of tuning in and honouring SELF far more than I ever had before. Giving to mySELF, loving and meeting mySELF in new ways, coming deeper into union with mySELF and all the parts that make me up—even the shadow, dark, naughty, nasty, yummy parts of me!

A year of being loved, being ‘rejected’, ‘rejecting’ to choose ME, receiving, connecting, being honoured, valued and so deeply appreciated—not for what I have to give, though for who I am at my core.

A year of truly witnessing my old abandonment wounds and sitting in them.

A year of witnessing my old codependency traits and sitting in them.

A year of dating, not dating, letting go, letting in, closing chapters, deepening friendships, being with SELF, honouring big boundaries as I moved mountains withIN me, to finally being honest with where my heart lay and trusting in the divine.

Deepening and loving my relationship with God, who is my first love. Coming to the most serene place of love and peace in my heart as I give it all to him and allow him to lead. Receiving his gifts, his magic, and his miracles.

So grateful for my soul family. Although we haven’t spent much time together this year, as I have deeply honoured the cocoon I’ve been in, recognising the love and respect is still there, knowing who has my back, loving the connections and moments, the memories, the laughter, the many phone calls, the love, the accountability, and the encouragement. Thank you to everyone in my life who has contributed to making this year so special.

A year of finally putting my health as a top priority, healing my stomach issues, correcting my eating, and loving the gym.

There is so much more I could say.

New life was birthed through me this year.

New business was birthed through me and is in its fetal stages.

More abundance landed, the more I surrendered.

Hustle and discipline were reactivated as a deeper softening continued.
A more ‘no BS’ approach to my life and those in it became clearer as the spiritual love and light BS dropped away.

To say I’m proud of this woman looking back at me in every way is an understatement.

To say I’m excited for next year and the many years to come, feels like a dream.

To arrive in this place of loving my own company and realising I’m not alone, not abandoned, so frikken loved and so frikken abundant is bliss.

Thank you, God. Thank you, human. Thank you, soul. Thank you, 2023. Thank you to everyone who came and left. Thank you to everyone who came and stayed. Let’s make 2024 the best yet!
