Every year for New Year’s I always come up with my word for the year. My manifestation for the year to come. In past years my heart was led to words such as hope, believing, blessings, dreams, growth, etc. This year my word is “Trust”. It has taken me years to get “Trust” to manifest itself, but know this is the word for 2015. In recent times, when the wall has come down and my mind and heart trusted is when the magic happened.
There have been many examples of trusting this year such as believing in the book series and actually talking about it at last year’s writing conference. The results were amazing. Then listening to God’s voice of who should illustrate the books. Again, God’s sign to trust him. Lastly, I prayed to God about my consulting career and told him he needed to give me a sign of when to leave my current company of five years. The only way I’d leave is to be gently nudged and then it happened.
Growth was last year’s word and made sense since there were several moments of being a new author and believing, learning, and having growth, but trust makes sense for 2015. With so much change happening, there is no choice but to trust. Honestly, trust is a difficult journey for me due to my need to control. It has never been easy for me to be like the disciples or Elsa and “Let It Go”. I’ve always had a desperate need to see the crystal ball and to know what life has to offer, but sometimes the magic is in having faith, taking the leap, and trusting.
Trusting to me is…
Being open to the magic
Dealing with dusty doors
Leaping wildly
Keeping focused
Never giving up even when it seems like the easy thing to do
Staying on track
Listening to the real voices even the quiet ones
Praying in true spirit
Looking up but staying grounded
Knowing failure will occur but it is not the end of the story
Understanding the universe has it’s own story
Living in perfect timing
Enabling childhood wishes
Realizing mistakes are learning moments
Counting your blessings
Remembering sometimes it takes a village
Loving yourself and your gifts
Being purpose driven
Letting Go
With all of this in mind, I am truly anxious, but excited about the word “Trust”. I think God has big plans for me this year and “Trusting” is what will force me to take action. Since childhood, it was a dream of mine to have people actually read and throw my words around them like clothing. I dreamt of helping people on a bigger scale. The time is now. God has helped dig the path of change, but it is my turn to trust and to hug the possibilities behind this powerful word.
It has taken all of the years of pain, hope, believing, and growth to now trust the journey and my purpose. What is your word for 2015?
