As we approach the end of a year – and prepare to begin a new one – the one word that has been constantly going through my mind is ‘movement’.

For when I think about life – that is what happens all the time – life moves – and so – for me – the end of one year – and the beginning of the next – is not actually the ‘end’ – or the ‘beginning’ – but rather the continual movement of life.

I love this analogy – “Life is like riding a bicycle – to keep your balance – you must keep moving”

Over the years – I have encountered many experiences that could easily have stopped me in my tracks – thrown me off my bike as it were – but I have learnt – that in order to keep my balance – I need to keep moving – allowing those things that would unbalance me – to teach me how important it is – simply to move on – wherever life leads me – and in spite of what life may throw at me.

For – “Life is always moving – changing – shifting into it’s next shape. The movement is natural – it is how we evolve. Take responsibility for yourself – each step of the way. Trust the new shape – and form your world”

I love that my world keeps changing shape – even though in some instances – it ‘s been hard. I liked the previous shape of my world – was comfortable – and didn’t deliberately look to change – to move – yet – as I trust the new shape – it allows me to take responsibility and for my world to reform.

As life has moved me along – I am grateful – for I have found these words to be true - “Life is all about moving on – accepting changes – and looking forward to what makes you stronger – and more complete”

I am stronger – for the changes that have occurred in my life – and as life goes on – I do feel more and more complete – constantly accepting the ‘movement of life’ – as one year follows another.
