build your beautiful self

My word for 2019 is:

REBIRTH
~The action of reappearing or starting to flourish or increase after a decline; revival

“The rebirth of a defeated nation”  Definition from Dictionary.com.

You come upon a magnificent bird building a nest in the latest part of the night just before dawn. The bird tirelessly works on building its’ nest.  You can tell that the poor creature is exhausted but works tirelessly to get its’ resting spot just right.

As the sun rises you can see the gold and red feathers. It stretches out and sings a haunting song that stops the sun itself.

A spark falls from the sky and ignites the nest and the bird into a great blaze. The beautiful bird and nest were reduced to ash. Once the ash settled, a resting period, a more beautiful golden bird emerges from the ashes and leaves its’ remains there. It begins its’ new life by flying back to the land of paradise.

This has been a theme in my life. Live a lifetime to experience joy, build my nest, then get reduced to ash in a burning flame, only to be reborn again a different, more beautiful bird emerges. Always a little scarred, a little stronger, a little…just different.

Each life built on the next and on the next. Lessons learned, and love had!

This year is the year of REBIRTH. Stronger, smarter, more patient, more full of love, more love of life, more my terms. We are abundant with everything that you don’t have to pay for. Love, Joy, emotion, conversation, friendship, beauty, happiness. That is the goal.

Cheers!
