2024
the year of the dragon
What comes to your mind when you think of a dragon? Do you see a wild beast full of fiery fury? Do you see a scaly creature with great wings? Do you see a Komodo dragon?
When I think of a dragon, I think of a creature who comes in many forms: large and small, with massive wings or no wings at all, fierce and mild, feathers or scales — each wild in their own unique way. Dragons hold symbolism of great wisdom and power to me.
I was excited to know that 2024 was the year of the dragon, according to the Chinese Lunar New Year calendar. Powerful energy and great transformational shifts. Little did I know just how true that would ring for me throughout the year.
Through the lens of the Chinese Lunar New Year, dragons represent:
Power: being Celestial creatures, dragons can control the elements (such as the wind and water).
Great fortune: dragons are considered to be good luck and symbols of prosperity and abundance.
Wisdom: dragons are intelligent creatures with innate wisdom.
Strength: dragons are symbols of strength and confidence.
2024 was the year I truly stepped fully into my power for the first time. I realized gifts that I possess and began to share them with my community. That was vulnerable for me, but very well received! So grateful for all of the love and support from everyone in my life. I am truly so grateful.
The year of the dragon definitely brought much prosperity and fortune to my life. It was my most abundant year yet! From a monetary and physical perspective, I achieved two of my dream goals: purchasing my dream car (The Cosmic Queen) and buying our Dream House. I also invested in myself big time by participating in Sacred Rebels 2024 with Sadie Jane Sabin. This was a major stretch year for me in expanding my growth zone, especially where abundance is concerned. And I am so proud of myself! Not to mention the abundance of friends and family gained, experiences and adventures I had, and so much more. Truly a prosperous year.
Wisdom. While I don’t know I can claim to be wise, I gained so much knowledge through learned and lived experience this last year. I truly came home to my body, mind, and soul. I was able to learn how to utilize these three systems together, for they truly are each meant to work together. I realized ways I had been ignoring my body’s signals, gained greater ability at quieting my mind and all the overthinking, and my intuition grew stronger the more I listened and acted on what it shared with me. I questioned and challenged beliefs, I jumped way out of my comfort zone, and truly changed and solidified my foundations. While there were many uncomfortable moments, I learned how to listen to myself and get comfortable with simply being.
This brings me to the last representation from the dragon: strength. There have been a lot of moments in my life that have proved to me just how strong I am. But 2024 required courage, to truly come home to myself and be me in all of my authenticity. While I am still working on sharing the full facet of Sadie online (vulnerability and energetic boundaries are a thing, and I am okay to admit that I am still navigating that), I have gained so much confidence and I have found my voice. The moments that have given me my strength have also shaped me and led me to where I am today, and I am excited to share more about that and just how impactful these life lessons have been for me. I am so proud of the confidence that I gained throughout this last year, especially as I have stepped more fully into Who I Really Am.
2024 was a beautiful year. It had many challenging and uncomfortable moments, especially where I confronted some deep-seated fears. I faced some well-hidden shadows within the caverns of my soul. I also saw some of the brightest light and beauty this world has to offer. I gained a lifelong sisterhood, I grew in community and friendship and family. It was a year I lived to come fully home to myself, so that I can now go out into the world from a place of confidence, excitement, and true embodiment. What beautiful, transformational shifts this year brought. A year of the dragon, indeed.
