Whether they'll stay with me the entire year, I'm not sure. Whether others will join them, weaving their way into my modus operandi, I cannot tell.

What I DO know is that that these two words - ease and joy - have sunken into my psyche these past few months and become guiding beacons of light.

I don't know how nor do I know in what form they will manifest, and I am more than OK with that.

It's about being open to the unfolding of these desired states and recognizing them when they appear, about creating the space for them to emerge.

It's about stepping into flow, and saying yes once in a while.

Ease and joy.

I am ready.
