New Adventures for 47

This month is my 47^th birthday. EEEK! I will be 47 years old. Wow! Let me get my mind wrapped around this new number. Yep, I am going to be 47 years old, and I am going to rock it. I am currently planning my intentions for my 47^th year. I have made the intention of being creative this year.  I started this post at the beginning of the month, but I had issues writing what I wanted. My birthday is Friday. A lot has happened this month to teach me where I want to be and who I want to be. For a long time, I have felt stagnant, stuck, and unproductive. Living with several chronic illnesses feels like a punishment. I have no idea how to look at it as a gift. It is a gift, but I do not know if it is the clothes for Christmas kind of gift or the type of gift your heart soars when you receive it under the tree. That is where I am at right now. Learning to look at my life as a gift. I am choosing right now to find ways that I can be creative and to rock the life I have been given.   Below is how I am going to do that.

How I am going to be creative this year:

• I purchased a year’s worth of Apothecary classes to study alternative medicine for healing. I believe in a mix of modern medicine and alternative medicine is a balance. One of my amazing soul friends is doing this with me. My goal with this class is so that I can work on my own healing. I do not feel qualified or able to help with someone else’s healing. I do enjoy sharing and learning from others. I must warn you I question everything. It is the research and the mindset I learned from my dad where you do not take someone at their word you research it for yourself.
• Currently I am reading the book Atomic Habits by James Clear. I am not exactly reading it more listening to the audible version read by the author. I plan on writing a post about it in the future. Let me just say that I am looking at goals and habits in a whole new way. I am working with my counselor in creating sustainable habits so that I can reach my goals in all areas of my life.
• I will be open to trying new creative adventures as they cross my path. I am learning to be open and less rigid in my planning so that I am not stuck.

I am looking forward to seeing where I will be this time next year.
