sunriseEmbracing Intentions and Setting a Vision for 2025 and Beyond

Whenever I set an intention to get to a Core while going through my Equine Gestalt Coaching MethodĀ® training I always made it. One-time Mike had surgery the Friday before in Kansas City and I needed to be in Elizabeth, CO at 8:30 am Wednesday. The surgeon told us he wasnā€™t working over the weekend, but he didnā€™t see any reason his colleague wouldnā€™t discharge him on Sunday. The doctor covering his patients apparently didnā€™t see it the same way.

Mikeā€™s surgeon came back on Monday to an emergent case and didnā€™t come see Mike until about 2:00 pm. I had already decided that I may only get a drive-by at home. I could do laundry at the ranch if needed. Everything would work out.

We had been talking about this surgery for a couple of weeks. We had decided to hold off until after my training and then decided it wouldnā€™t wait. We had already postponed it from the week before for health reasons and it was important to have it done. So, the surgeon knew about my schedule.

Set your intention and the door will be opened.

When he came in on Monday afternoon, he said he didnā€™t want to discharge him late in the day and would like to wait until morning. We agreed to this then he looked at me and asked when my workshop was. I said I needed to be in Colorado by 8:30 am on Wednesday and he changed his mind and let him leave that afternoon. As it turned out, I did have time to do my laundry at home.

Almost every training that I went to I started my check-in with some version of Iā€™m so grateful to be here. Grateful that he was well enough to take care of himself so that I could leave him for a few days.

At least one time I got back to learn that he had spent a night in the hospital. I had been talking with his pulmonologist about an hour before I left that time, and he had reassured me. On Tuesday I was driving him to KU Med Center for a three-day hospital stay.

Quote about resolutions

Ditch the resolutions. To resolve means to find a solution to a problem. You are not a problem. the way you showed up for your life the past year was necessary for your growth. Now is a time to reflect. To learn. To create an intention, a positive call to shift, a spark of magic + manifestation rooted in self-love and backed with action. – Old Soul Witch on Facebook

Rethinking Resolutions

A friend posted the quote about resolutions to the side on Facebook and it started me thinking.

I donā€™t know that Iā€™ve made any hard and fast resolutions in my life. But the quote makes a lot of sense to me.

Forget about resolutions! It seems people have trouble sticking to them.

Could that be in our perception of what a resolution is? A solution to a problem and we are not problems. We have problems. Those problems, challenges, issues, or whatever you want to call them have shown up to help with our growth.

As I reflect on a year full of challenges itā€™s time to create a vision for next year. Set an intention.

Will there be challenges? Most likely. I will Embrace them as necessary for my growth and keep moving forward.
