Let go of anger. Learn to breathe

I have some anger in me. I'm not really sure what it's about, and it doesn't really matter. I think what it's about is long gone, because, really, in my life, there's nothing to be angry about. Yet my first reaction to the wrenches that are thrown at me often is anger, even when I handle the wrench with aplomb, dignity and even grace. I want to learn how to take that breath that gets me to the right reaction BEFORE that initial lion growl comes out of me.

Welcome abundance

I want to let go of fear and scarcity, and welcome abundance and generosity together in my life. Next year I will find the voice whispering in my art and let it speak up loud enough to be heard by those who need it in their lives.

Look inside

In 2012, I want and need to let go of the search for fulfillment outside of my Self. It ain't out there ! In its place, I would like to create a huge dose of Self-love and Self-care that will make me feel fulfilled everyday, on the inside.

Oh, oh ! I put that in writing, didn't I?

-Kim Mailhot

Embrace what simply is.

I need to let go of what I thought my life was going to be like. In many ways it is exactly as I planned it but nothing like I imagined, and the tenacious clinging to what I had envisioned gets in the way, every single day, of my embrace of what simply is. Sublime, mysterious, glorious, painful. It is and I don't want to waste any more time.
