"She had an immense curiosity about life, and was constantly starting and wondering."

- Henry James

There is a saying that goes "curiosity killed the cat" and to whoever said that, I have to humbly disagree.

Curiosity is the divine elixir that promises us eternal youth

An idea captivates us...

We feel that spark...

Something is calling your name...

There becomes a need to explore and expand, to study the human experience.

Learning keeps us YOUNG

The world opens up to us again.

We can approach our new world with a child-like wonder, soaking up all of the information that comes our way on a daily basis.

We become a humble student of life.

Becoming and remaining a student creates a more harmonious existence because we see each event, situation, challenge, accomplishment, and person we encounter along the way, as lessons and teachers.

I made a personal commitment at the beginning of this year to make 2020 a year of learning

Initially, this was only an internal journey of deep meditation and external growth only within my occupational position.

Now, half way through the year I have reassessed.

For me, my study has evolved into the following:

- Learn from people who are masters at what they do

- Connecting with and expressing my creative energies without expectation... creating just for the sake of creation

- Reading more and expanding into different topics

- Intentionally stepping outside my comfort zone and putting myself out there

- Balance out the relationship with my ego, not letting any accomplishment or perceived "failure" get to my head

- Listening to my heart despite what my head may say

The second half of 2020 is something I am truly excited for.

As ever, Im fascinated by the existential and working on discovering myself on a deeper level - who I am, how I am, why I am, etc.

I've been learning crystal healing techniques and am in the process of becoming a Certified Crystal Healer because I know how much it could enhance and deepen my esthetic treatments and help my wonderful patients.

Becoming a Reiki Master has also been calling my name for the same reasons.

Learning more about investments, being a business owner, and incorporating my various interests into a sustainable business model are other things I'm working on in 2020.

Writing a book, becoming a better better cook, and learning how to be a better mother to my garden are featured on my list too.

I astound myself daily with how much I am learning and growing.

Follow those little feelings and signals from above; learning improves ALL areas of our lives - being a student makes us more well-rounded, more ourselves.

Curiosity is a call from out Soul, our Higher Self, to take a path of learning which can lead us to GREATNESS

What are you LEARNING this year?
