Home stretch.........

As May has arrived it has brought the home stretch with it.......last day of school is June 10th......have an outdoor classroom and garden project to pull together before year's end......I sure do wish the weather would cooperate;-) but it will get done! I graduate from my life coach program on June 1st........which has me super excited.....and I just feel like on June 11th......I will be able to breathe easy some......what a year.......juggling all the moving parts and pieces.......with the beginning of the year holding the ever present threat of covid.....and then its eventual arrival in our lives......and pandemic/ post pandemic teaching.......which is hard to even adequately articulate.......getting divorced..........refinancing my house........so much has changed this school year........ it has been a year to remember........and now as it all shakes out and settles it feels good to be on this side of it.......and now it is time to move forward in a real way and start my new life........I will remain teaching for as long as I need to, I am infinitely grateful for my job, and will be able to continue to teach as long as is necessary as I build my coaching business......I have lots of ideas surrounding all of it......just need to figure out the how.....which I will, if I consistently go after it.......it is going to require effort and consistency.....a willingness to keep putting myself out there to meet with people that may be part of the life I am trying to lead........I was thinking the other day how many new people I know from this year.......that hasn't happened in so long.......and how the new people I have met are in line with the things I believe, and the places I am headed, and how that is no accident......I got my journal last night, it came later......and there is some reading before you get into the journaling and it talked so much about that......about how your life is a reflection of how you feel about yourself......and the people that come into your experience are you......and as your views and feelings about the world change.......those people either join you or fall away........surround yourself with people who epitomize the things you want to be........and if you are somebody that looks for the sun and for things to be grateful for......and really mean it and believe it......then your experience will come with more things to feel that way about......on the other hand look for the negative or believe that the world is a negative place, more things will step forward to share that reality with you....so again mindset......but more important than that......you are truly crafting the 3D reality you get to live in each and every day, with the quality of your thoughts......that is powerful.......and one of the pieces I read last night that really hit me......was my self talk.....my self talk used to be awful.......I was so hard on myself, constantly beating myself up internally for all the things I didn't do.......I have somehow found a way to shut that off......my self talk and the quality of it has shifted dramatically this year.......and it has changed so much.......so my journal is one that spans a 30 day period.......looking to make powerful shifts......as I slide down the home stretch, I am excited to see where June meets me:)
