Hello Gorgeous Goddesses!
Well we can say now that we are definitely in 2011! New year celebrations have passed. I don’t know about anyone else but I know with me….I just feel like a huge ‘detox’ plan coming on.
I’m sure the mozzies need a little detox too after their biting activities in the festive season  In some areas, celebrations have not come into fruition due to tragedy & sadness. Our hearts go out to all those affected in the floods. The amount of kindness, support & love that we share when we all connect, is priceless and so needed at this time. Love, love, love to them all.
On another note, looking back over 2010 (and I’m sure many of us do) I feel grateful of the lessons learned. After talking to many awesome women through Goddess Playshops and of course speaking from experience, over the last year, the one thing I ignored is play time. When did life get so serious for some of us?
Of course having ‘play time’ with my sister Luanne, is always fun (that’s one thing we make sure happens) but by not managing the time I had in other work commitments, I let that slide and ignored it (I ignored my purpose) which actually led me to saying ’stuff it’ (that’s code for a different 4-letter word ) and resigning from my job. How I was feeling made me want to take on, that what I really wanted to do was just resign from ‘responsibility’, obviously not the best way of thinking at the time. Good ole Kali….shake that ground up!  I thank Kali for doing so . So play time is important, nurturing is a must and laughter is cleansing….. Take note and wiggle those hips! I want to share a story I found that relates to how at the time i was feeling as I’m sure many of you feel at times too. Enjoy!

My Resignation – Author Unknown
I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an eight-year-old again.
I want to go to McDonald’s and think that it’s a four-star restaurant.
I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks.
I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them.
I want to run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer’s day.
I want to return to a time when life was simple, when all you knew were colors, multiplication tables and nursery rhymes, but that didn’t bother you because you didn’t know what you didn’t know and you didn’t care.
All you knew was to be happy, because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.
I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good.
I want to believe that anything is possible. I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again.
I want to live simply again. I don’t want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive when there are more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness and loss of loved ones.
I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, mankind and making angels in the snow.
I want to play with my pets and my days of imagination to last forever
So here are my checkbook and my car keys, my credit card bills and my 401(k) statements. I am officially resigning from adulthood.
And if you want to discuss this further, you’ll have to catch me first because,”Tag! You’re it!”
