Letter to myself in December 2017

January 27, 2017

Dear Keisha,

It’s been a year and wow, you still find ways to amaze yourself – lots of good times, some not so good times but through it all it was a phenomenal year.

First off, I want to give you an A for effort and trying to accomplish everything on your to-do list because let’s be honest that list was soooo unrealistic 🙂

Secondly, in the most recent years you have been so fortunate to do a lot of fun, interesting, and challenging adventures. Often times people ask what makes you the way you are and the only thing that comes to mind is always searching for a little more. Well it’s December 2017 and you did it. You have your little more, I am so excited for us and in case you have lost sight of why I’m excited here is a little reminder of what we set out to do:

Always be in it to win it, because when I leave this world, I’ll leave no regrets – I want to be something in somebody’s life, and bring happiness to others. Leave the world a little better just because, I was here.
– Beyoncé, lyrics to I Was Here, written by American Writer, Diane Warren.

(Always be in it to win it, is my little thing I’ve been saying lately.  Everything else Beyoncés song.)

These are the words that resonated with you soooo much in late 2016. It was so powerful the moment this happened that you had to make it your self-advice, you hired a professional coach and worked with fervour to live this day to day in 2017.

I know that some days and weeks were harder than others to keep that up but I know that you gave it your all. Living a life where you focused on being true in as many aspects as possible has taken you on quite the ride but look at where you are now.

Finally, reflecting on where you are is so critical.  Be grateful for what you may have a hard time seeing right now.

We are currently reading the book, “You are a Bad Ass” by Jen Sincero and she says on page 39, which is a great reminder to pause:

“When we get so wrapped up in our heads we miss out on what’s available to us right now in the moment. Stop and notice how you feel right now. Feel your breath moving in and out of your body. Feel the air on your skin. Feel your heart beating. Your eyes seeing. Your ears hearing. Notice the energy inside and outside of you buzzing.”

Now, that you have taken a breath.

Your inner-energy is what has you sitting here today, your belief and quest to live a complete life serving others is how you have managed. Your relationships with your family, friends, loved and dear ones will be a clear example of how you have embraced a life of truth. This year has been fantastic, so take a minute smile, giggle, and breathe – you did it girl, we are so ready for 2018!

Love always,
Keisha
36 here we come!!!

PS This one was hard to write, I think it’s because in the back of my mind December 2017 is like tomorrow and seriously how the heck do I commit to such a lofty vision. However, I did read that if your dreams/goals don’t scare you, they aren’t big enough. I guess we will see how this all shapes up in 11 months. Namaste.

PSS It’s now March and this post couldn’t be more real, see you in 9 months!!

PSSS Anyone, considering writing a letter to themselves or taking  a moment to affirm where they want to be.  I would love to hear!!!

PSSSS Holy hell, if you don’t believe in intuition after chilling with me.. I don’t know what’s wrong with you xoxo (December 21, 2017).
