Hello my conscious creator 😊

Last week on Christmas eve we had an amazing family evening.

Very simple, nothing fancy… Staying home alone, just us…. me, my husband, our two teens and our dog, yet it was the most magical evening of my whole life!

You might wonder why….I will tell you!

A few days before Christmas eve I had this idea to play a very special game with my family.

I described it in detail in my last blog.

And we did it!

I prepared all the post it notes, and the pens, and we set all around our huge oak table.

My kids were not quite enthusiastic about the game, they somehow reluctantly sat down and waited for all the instructions.

Yet me and my husband just went full in with a lot of humour and a bit of inclusive teasing, and we started. And after a few minutes of staring into nothing, the kids started to pure their stuff and experiences and challenges on paper, and they really got fully into it. They started to really enjoy it.

I was amazed about how much of our beautiful experiences we forget, especially the little ones and how much of the family life and relationships and gestures of connection and help we just take for granted.

It was astonishing to see how many challenges we went through individually and as a family in just one year!

I was proud of us, because we truly care about each other and we were aware of most of the challenges each of us was facing.

But the best part of all was sharing. I was having teary eyes most of the time, when I was listening to my beautiful kids knowing themselves so deeply and knowing each one of us so profoundly!

I’m in such deep gratitude to have had the opportunity to listen to the things my family was seeing in me and each other!

I’ve learned so much about myself through this family game.

The first thing being that close relationships are the strongest catalyst for growth in all fields of your life. Cherish them deeply!

I want to share with you a few things I learned in the last 12 months!

My 5 LESSONS OF 2021 and my goals for 2022:

1. Building a deeper relationship with myself is building deeper relationships with my loved ones.

GOAL FOR 2022: deepening my self-respect, self-care and self-love!

2. If I can’t trust my own word, no-one else will be trusting it!

GOAL FOR 2022: showing up for myself by keeping my word to myself!

3. When there is chaos all around me and there is no rest in the situation, there is only one place where peace, calm, clarity, and solutions can be found. It’s deep within myself! When I get into the space of calmness, the storm around me calms down!

GOAL FOR 2022: finding peace and calm within my own Self,

no matter what is going on around me!

4. My image/pre-formed perception of someone or something is profoundly affecting my relationship towards that person or that situation!

GOAL FOR 2022: working on my internal images and perceptions of everything

I encounter and everyone around me that I spend time with!

5. Giving is receiving, but not the way I thought it works! I learned to give from a deeper source within, a source that is unlimited and connects us directly to our true essence. Giving from this place can never be felt as sacrifice or depletion. It is receiving form a deeper unlimited source and is here to be freely shared with everyone around us, because it can never dry out!

GOAL for 2022: building a deep constant connection with my inner source

and resourcefulness.

If you didn’t play the game yet, I invite you to do so. And see what you learn about yourself and your loved ones.

And I’m so happy to hear from you!

What are your biggest lessons you learned in 2021?

I wish you an amazing year ahead with many new adventures and moments of deep connection and love!

With love, Karmen
