Hello 2023

2022 was a funny old year. Not the best personally, not the best professionally, not the best globally. It was what it was. A New Year brings hope for the future, brings hope for change for the better, brings a new energy.

I’ve spent autumn and winter hunkering down, making plans, studying and working on my future. My personal development and my professional development. There is a lot to be excited about in 2023 for me. New training upgrading my abilities as a yoga teacher. I have completed training in Trauma Informed Yoga and can offer this in my classes or in specific classes which focus on people who have survived trauma. This goes hand in hand with my work as a therapist and yoga teacher and I am looking forward to bringing all my learning into my teaching. My meditation training has been upgraded - Meditation Mastery :-) yup Master meditation teacher. Though I feel that I will be learning meditation for the rest of my life, along with my yoga practice and daily learning, but I am better equipped to teach better classes.

I have even upgraded my business and the way I work. I am now collaborating with a colleague in our new venture. A new business which will launch in the next few weeks. Watch this space!!!! I am so excited to be able to bring yoga and meditation to more people in the community.

I am also collaborating in writing a new book - writing! who knew? I blog a bit, I journal almost daily, I post on social media but a book collaboration is new, exhilarating, exciting, promising.

I am and always have been a life long learner and so I feel I am now getting to the point in my life where I can bring all this learning together. Offer top tips on surviving life ha ha. Again watch this space for updates on the progress of this too.

2023 is starting in a really positive place with many opportunities. I bring hope into my daily gratitude. Hope - Hope has moved people out of untenable situations into better lives, and has helped humans stay alive long enough to figure out how to thrive. Hope is an optimistic state of mind that is based on an expectation of positive outcomes with respect to events and circumstances in one's life or the world at large. As a verb, its definitions include: "expect with confidence" and "to cherish a desire with anticipation.

Yes, I have hope for 2023. Happy New Year.
