When I moved to America three years ago, leaving behind a life I loved, I understood that sometimes you have to let go of the good in order to experience the even better. Which can be hard when the even better isn’t immediately obvious. And you have to trust with blind faith that it’s there at all.
But if we’re willing to let go of the place we’re at and the things we’re holding onto, however good, then we create the space to move into blessing we've yet to imagine. Into the greater things that are meant for us and waiting for us if we simply choose to reach towards them and accept them.
God - the Universe - is always wanting to give us more. We choose what we settle for. For some people that means settling for the small and mundane and unsatisfactory. Other people push on until they reach a place that feels comfortable then settle there, assuming that’s as good as it gets, or afraid to rock the boat and risk losing the little they‘ve gained. But the truth is that it can always get better; there is always more. Abundance has no end. It flows lavishly and continuously.
We don’t have to settle for the dull; we can have the interesting, we can have the fabulous. We don’t have to be insignificant; we can be of consequence, we can be great. WE choose. And by continually being open to the possibility of there being more, and being prepared to release the good in order to receive the better, then we make way for the greatness, the fabulousness and the undreamt of excitement to occur.
This year join me in committing to being open to the possibility of greater things. Open to accepting wondrousness, the better yet, the unbelievable amazingness hiding around the corner. It’s there and it’s ours. All we need to do is ask; be prepared to relinquish our current experience; and move forward with open arms and open hearts, willing and ready to receive.

Lovely to browse your blog - having been rather cooped up the past week - we too are snowed in but can walk to the shops and have a warm roof over our heads! It has been lovely to walk everywhere, the dogs have mixed feelings about the snow - each day Andrew has had to dig a path for them to get out the back door it has been so deep (I have dachshunds!) Anyhow, I have enjoyed going through all our Christmas cards and alighting on your address and details on the back of your card I really loved seeing this - what a creative girl you are! So many things I would love to chat about with you - we must definitely try and meet up with Moira sometime soon - M and I do try to do something together .....
I am still teaching and like to keep a variety of other things on the go too.
Anyhow, enough of my babblings, keep up the creative work -

I'm so glad to hear that you're so optimistic about the year. Well done. Great things are going to come your way.
