Destination Unknown
Next Right Steps

Hello yogi friends!

As we near the beginning of 2024, I hope you find time to rest. And reflect.

While resolutions are popular this time of year, I enjoy creating spaciousness so I can get clear on my intention(s).

The yogic concept of Sankalpa helps me along the way.
San: a connection to the highest truth
Kalpa: vow

While making a pledge to live into our best self may sound like a heavy lift, I see this as an opportunity to explore our own growth:

• What changes do you want to make in the year ahead?
• What is no longer serving you?
• What’s a growth edge you want to explore?
• Whom do you want to be of service to?

These are just a few of the questions we can begin asking ourselves in order to gain clarity.

And here’s the thing: living into our highest truth doesn’t mean we know the exact outcome, let alone the pathway forward so we can get there!

It’s true. Our destination might be unknown. The pathway forward might be unclear, or rocky, or a massive set of switchbacks.

But, if we stay focused on living into our best self, and use that vow as a lighthouse, then we have a built in GPS guiding us every step of the way.  

My New Year’s wish for us all?

Create spaciousness around ourselves. For our introspection, our growth, and our pathway forward in 2024. Stay committed to the light within and keep moving towards the light.

May there be peace,
