I'm So Proud of Myself!

I just got acupuncture for the first time yesterday afternoon! You know, me with the huge phobia of needles got acupuncture which is when someone inserts needles in your body at your own will to re-balance your Qi (pronounced "ch-ee")? Yep, I did it! I couldn't believe myself! I was so strong, so brave, so willing! For the record, not only did I do a ton of research on acupuncture before making an appointment, but also my acupuncturist was touted as the gentlest of the gentle. So, I can get on board with that.

Can you even believe it? I'm making leaps and bounds in 2011!

My Years

Every year since 2005, I've come up with a theme to focus on for all 365 days. These themes have given me a personal cause around which to rally and I have thought about these important ideas during difficult times. So, in tribute to those years, I'd like to recount all themes and highlight what I expect from 2011...

2005 - The Year of Kelly
2006 - The Year of Living Authentically
2007 - The Year of Evolution
2008 - The Year of Divine Intervention
2009 - The Year of Gratitude
2010 - The Year of Love
2011 - The Year of Trusting Life

Yep. So 2011 is The Year of Trusting Life because in the past, I've had a year for me and I've had a year for trying to live out my authentic soul and I've had years for evolving and growing and loving and being grateful...but I haven't had a year of trusting. And I think that's exactly what I need.

So, this year is all about letting go and letting the processes of life happen the way they will. I trust that life will be good for me and that I don't need to have control of everything. I trust that great things come to me and all is well in the world.

I trust the process of life.
