Damn, how much I love this new-year-thing! At this point it became a whole tradition of its own for me! Taking the time for a breather and to reflect on what happened on this particular round of zooming around the Sun on top of a planet.
2022.
I perceived it as a quiet year.
Although the world happened to be on fire around me on multiple occasions, somehow I managed to find peace and hope over and over again.
I think this year for me was mostly about growing into my own skin. Starting to trust what I have going for me and learn to rely on it more and more.
It hits me hard to realize, it just appeared quiet.
I guess it wasn’t full of theatrics and fireworks like the ones before, but brought to me some beautiful and extremely valuable changes.
I ran a course twice on connection and relationships and I’m currently on the roll on a new one that is about creativity and human ingenuity.
I served a bunch of beautiful people this year and I’m still shocked to my core, how amazing humans can be. And how lucky I am to witness their transformation from the front row, calling this my profession and get well-paid for it. Damn, I’m struggling for words thinking about it. Gratefulness doesn’t do it justice.
Somehow along the lines I build up some quite intriguing skillsets too, that I wasn’t really aware of until now. (Hence I love this new-year-thing so much!)
I learnt to express myself comfortably, and in a way, that makes sense to my audience. Not a bad thing to unlock, when you talk to people as a profession. XD
I learnt to listen so deeply to others, that my preconceptions and initial assumptions can melt away effortlessly. This brought my personal relationships to a depth I didn’t even know existed and gave such a boost to the impact I have on clients, that I’m still shocked.
I learnt to appreciate the “mundane”, the ordinary. I might even say, one of my new year resolution could be to become as ordinary as ordinary can get. There is such beauty in small, everyday experiences that once more I struggle to put it into words. A cup of coffee, a shy smile on a loved one’s face, seeing the dust disappear from the shelf as I run the cloth on top of it. Unspeakably holy and infinitely rich experiences to have.
What a life to live!
On this note, allow me to wish you a beautiful new year, where you will find this infinite joy even in the ordinary. It might not seem a lot to you, but this is the most meaningful thing I can wish for you from the deepest core of my hearth.
Big hugs,
Andi.
