As I take a break by myself this NYE from packing up my house I cannot help but think of this year past. This is the first year ever that I am home, alone and packing on New Year’s Eve. I am ok with it. I don’t need to understand what my future has in store for me this next year and finally for once in my life I AM OK with it. 2014 - WOW. What a fricken ride. This year I have learnt the meaning of true friendship and what possibilities love can offer. I have broken free from those people in my life that did not lift me up. In this, I have found a true soul sister. I have experienced a friendship on a soulful level. This truly is a whole new playing game. We don’t even need to speak and know what the other is thinking. I began to dance with life with someone who has shown me so many things. Having no fear and not giving a shit what others think has been crucial. We became UNSTOPPABLE. Melissa, from plane rides, to car treks, to foreign countries, to Hotel Herweier, the cries we’ve shared, the countless number of hours in a day we’d be in each other’s space and all the other amazing feats we accomplished together —- thank you. You have shed so much light into my world. You’ve never judged and accepted me for who I am. This is a blessing. I learnt what it means to have a true connection with myself and love every part of me, despite my weaknesses and how to share this with the world. I couldn’t have done this without the people in my tribe. You are my light, just as I am to you. Thank you. This year has been a year of firsts for many things. From trade shows, to book signings, to speaking at countless events in and around Western Canada. I found my calling, to serve people. We embarked on a cross Alberta journey sprinkling kindness in communities and invited others to join along, this is just the beginning. I had the courage to take a vacation a month in 2014 and the last one was by myself. Life has been preparing me for the next adventure to begin. It has given me trust in whatever is meant to be and it has empowered me to listen to my intuition. This last year has given me the confidence to believe in myself despite what others think. If I want to live an extraordinary life, I must persevere despite adversity. This is what makes me unique. I know now how to meet people where they are instead of shout down to them from the mountaintops. Thank you to everyone who has embarked on this journey with me so far and thank you to the amazing people I work with each and every day, you are amazing. Finally, MD I am honored to call you my best friend and soul sister unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before in this game of life. 2015 I am nervous, excited, scared, prepared, willing, open and feel my heart is in the right place, BRING IT ON. To all my friends, you deserve to live your best life, so STOP waiting for “some day” and START making it “today.” xoxo Melissa Macky
