Beth's soundtrack

I unofficially named this year "The Year of Beth." I just finally felt it was time to be worthy of the good life I wanted and could see just barely out of reach. My good friend Robin said to me "Who are you to question God, that he did not make you perfect, just as you are? And that you are not EXACTLY where you are supposed to be on your path?" That let a thousand pounds roll off of me. And I felt like without all that guilt and doubt and self hatred there was a shining light, that felt joy and could radiate joy, and that was what my purpose was for now. Just to be, and to be happily!
So I figured that my year needed a soundtrack and I spent lots of time happily listening to music (oh, my iTunes bill...) and finding out who I was through what music spoke to me. It's cool to me that "Keep on Shinin" is my all time favorite song now, and so many other songs that fit me speak of light and shining and feeling your worth. Before this year, "shiny" was not a way I had ever thought of myself, and I had never thought I was "enough".
I just wanted to give a shout out of gratitude to the universe, for bringing me to this shiny, happy place. I am sending love and peace and joy out, knowing it will come back a thousand-fold.
