Buh bye 2025!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

I think it's safe to say that we ALL are feeling a great big sigh of relief that 2025 is coming to an end! What a year. What a bloody, pain in the ass, royally f*&^ed year. 

Man that felt good to get off my chest. Yet, I am also tremendously grateful for the amazing lessons and hidden gifts I received along the way. There's always a silver lining, though granted, sometimes hard to see. 

I have been blessed with the gift of being an overtly cockeyed optimist (yes, I appropriately played Nellie-IYKYK- in the Culver City Civic Light Opera version of the musical South Pacific, of course). Being so endowed,  I've trained myself to value this gift of looking for the light (because I lived through some tough ass shit), the positive and the good. This year has definitely put that virtue to the test. Remembering that I am human, while still striving to be better helps me forgive myself when I fall short of my expectations for myself. And of others.

In the end all that truly matters is love. Sounds hokey. Sounds cliche. Yet true. Reality check? Can you co-exist in this space of grace while also setting boundaries against they who will try to tear you down? That's what I am currently striving towards. What does that look like? How does that feel? Having just had a milestone birthday (I'm 60 y'all!), it's courage wrapped in confidence held up by hard won strength. My nervous system is learning what that feels like. I am grateful to have arrived at the place where I can own it, live it and share it. I have to admit, it feels fucking fantastic.

We are all light. I believe that we are all miracles placed here on earth together to share our gifts, collectively; to raise each other up. You can't have light without darkness. You can't know joy without sadness. These polarities are painfully true. Truer still is that understanding this contradiction intensifies our wattage. It raises our vibration. As the observer if we allow these energies to pass through us and lift us up without judgement we are absolved from having to carry the weight of the suffering and also the ego of the joy. It isn't ours to hold. We just have to share the joy; to pass it on. Let the suffering wash away. In however long it takes, let it wash away. The world needs more light right now. So whatever your gift is, whatever your light is, now is the time to let it shine. Shine it brighter than ever before. We need it.

Sending you holiday blessings of light, love and peace heading into 2026. May you be blessed with health, goodness, love, abundance, adventure and love.

All my love,

Elizabeth
