You may think that my title for this post is typo-ed, but it's not...and here's the story.

I'm sitting here on a snowy 8th of January, drinking a hot cup of homemade Chai tea, and realizing that I have already missed my goal of posting a new blog every week for 2021. But really, I'm only off by one day...so I'm gonna call it a win! (I promise this is relevant.)

Now back to the "typo-ed"title of this post.

Every year I pick a word for the year and get it made into a MyIntent bracelet that I wear day and night for 365 days. This year, my word is Patience. I have an intuition that with this being the year that we are moving to Ireland, the unrest in the world (especially in the US), plus the ongoing pandemic, I am going to have to have a lot of patience for how this move is going to unfold. After sitting with this word for a while, the phrase that came to me was "Trust the Timing."

So, rather than get the word "Patience" on my bracelet, I wanted the reminder to "Trust the Timing." I ordered my bracelet a few days before the New Year so that I could change from last years word to this years word on January 1st.

But to my surprise, when the bracelet arrived, it was misspelled. It said, "Trust the Timming."

If this had been even two years ago, I would have thrown this one in the trash and ordered another bracelet that was spelled correctly, but I no longer identify with that part of myself that needed to try and appear perfect. My first thought on seeing the typo was, "this is exactly right." So much of trusting the timing means recognizing that everything is not going to go as "perfectly" as I would like it to. The lesson is in letting go and TRUSTING.

Friends, I know that 2020 was a big year and many of you are ready to put it behind you and move on to 2021. BUT, I would like to offer the wisdom of my bracelet for the year. This year is not going to be "perfect." It might not even be "better" than 2020. Just like every year, 2021 is going to have its lessons, its joy, its grief, its celebrations, its changes, its challenges, its love, its ups and downs. And I would invite all of you to TRUST THE TIMMING of it all. Ultimately, our lives always unfold exactly how we need them to in order for our soul's lessons to come through.

So, here I am, posting my first blog of the year one day late, and I'm calling it a win. Because I Trust the Timming.

Have a Beautiful Day!
