I know, I can hardly believe it either – it’s my birthday again! I just re-read my birthday post from 2015, and wow, what a different place I was in then. You’ll be pleased to know that I did get slippers, in fact, I have gone through a few pairs since then, because they don’t last very long in a house with wooden floors!

On my last birthday, I remember being in a slightly darker place, where I was struggling and feeling like things weren’t happening. This year, I feel like I am in a completely different space, even though there hasn’t been any dramatic shifts in circumstance, energetically, things have changed. Progress has been steady and organic and heading in an upward trend.

I think the biggest difference is the gratitude I feel for everything in my life, the good, and the so-called bad. It’s all happened for a reason, and I can see now that it was all perfect. Of course, we always see these things in hindsight, but I’m learning to see things as perfect even when they’re happening and they don’t feel good!

After I officially launched my first class in the online Earth Angel Training Academy, I went for a frosty birthday walk in the woods, and took a few pictures before my phone decided it was too cold and stopped working! My mouth was open in awe the whole time at the beautiful scenes around me, and the cold made me so grateful for my warm clothes!

Here’s a few of the pictures, including a spider’s web I photographed in town yesterday.

I can honestly say, that I cannot wait to see what this year brings. It’s going to be magical!
