We are a month past December 21, 2012 - the Winter Solstice, the long awaited date of the Mayan Prophesy, the day many feared some negatively earth-shattering apocalypse, while others embraced an opportunity whereby a new earth, a new energy, a new hope would shift our world as we knew it into something beautiful, free, and profound.
Here on the other side, I see myself and my loved ones dripping old trinkets of fear as it bubbles to the forefront brewing a most lesson-filled concoction.
Apocalypse or new earth, we are undoubtedly confronting a final frontier that is fear. We are shedding ourselves of that which terrifies us, that which haunts, that which holds.
And so, what if we embrace our vulnerable sweet spots? Perhaps a garden of self awareness may grow. And together, our gardens become lush forests of tranquility.
We got this.
