2018 The Year of the Dog

2018 The Year of the Dog

- by Jenn Royster

2018 Is fast approaching. My wish for all of you this new year, is happiness no matter what. To find your way through the great shift and keep yourself grounded in the process. By grounded I mean, in the game and fully present.

An interesting synchronicity arrived yesterday. As I study the energy for 2018, there is an important theme that runs through the entire year. Stay grounded. Keep your head in the game and focused. Then I stumbled upon this: 

Did you know that in Chinese astrology, that 2018 is the Year of the Dog? A dog is related to earth (grounded) they are focused on what they have in their sights. Have ever watched a dog focus on that tennis ball he's waiting for you to throw? No distraction whatsoever. They are loyal and they love unconditionally. What a perfect animal symbol for the New Year 2018. 

So I looked at my dog Emi and I thought, what a great daily reminder you will be this year! So I created the post above with a picture of Emi swimming in the Chesapeake Bay. One of her favorites activities. I wanted to share the inspiration she brings me with you. Whether you have a dog or not, the energy they bring is what will help us all prosper into 2018. 

As life throws curveballs, we learn to adjust and redirect ourselves. We grow wiser and stronger as we find our balance and stay in the game of life. 

Life is a gift. What we do with our life is a choice. Appreciation and gratitude will carry you far as you navigate into the New Year. 

AFFIRMATION: I AM ready with gratitude for 2018 and a fresh new beginning.
and so it is... ​​​​​​​
