⭐️ COMPLETING 2017 ✨ STARTING 2018 ⭐️
What a year it has been.. For the last few hours I'm sitting in a Starbucks, going through the photos, videos I've taken in 2017. I'm reflecting, writing, crying, feeling all sorts of emotions, letting go, inviting in my dreams..
.
If I had to give a title to last year it'd be, "Own Yourself: Transform Your Life in 1 Year". So much happened in this past year 🙌🏼
.
I facilitated:
- 3 Find Your Bliss workshops
- 1 Connection Through Joy workshop
- 10 Goddess Circles
- 2 Freedom Through Breath workshops
- 1 Embrace Your Divinity workshop
- 1 cacao ceremony
- 2 interviews
- 141 private sessions
.
Completed a transformational coaching qualification, 4 group breathwork sessions, a big clear out in my house, ISTA training level 1, 4 times being on the team for SuperGenius..
.
Launched my website, my business, women's group, had a stand, attended so many networking events, met so many wonderful people doing what they love..
.
Had countless breathwork, healings, dances, breakthroughs, Indian food, laughters, hugs, celebrations, ups and downs..
.
As the year went I had less makeup, fewer bras, a bigger altar, more 5rhythms, more feathers, more dresses..
.
A funeral happened. A wedding and a new baby was born..
.
My body changed completely through healing, breathwork, releasing, changing old programs without even working out regularly..
.
I danced fully naked with beautiful beings celebrating joy of life..
.
I created an intimate and playful relationship with my man where we grow and serve together..
.
I went on a holiday in Turkey with my love traveling around for 5 weeks..
.
The wisest decision I made was always following my truth. The biggest risk I took was doing my first solo women's workshop making it up on the spot. The most important thing I did for others was to connect them to their true essence, cutting through all the crap we tell ourselves.

I'm sharing some moments that meant a lot for me in the last year. The biggest lesson I learnt last year was there's no point in success and accomplishment if there's no one to share it with, so I want to thank some people for their presence and love in my life 💜
.
I can't tag everyone I ever had a connection with this year, if your name is not there please don't take it personally. If we were in each other's life in some way this year, know that I love and acknowledge you ✨ Also know that there was a tag limit 😃
.
My sisters Nathalie, G-Therapies Gulie, Sarah, Lauren, Daisie, Amanda, Tamlyn, Marium for times they held me, supported me, laughed loads with me and went on adventures with me. I love you all and even when I dissappear and go to my independance mode know that I'm there for you 💖
.
My Genius friends Filip, Rachael, Adam, Emma, Taylor, Soheyl, Josh, Yui, Isabel, Ali, Daisie, Gulie, Steve, Ryan, Danielle, Carole, Lucy, Kálmán, Moss, Mark, Gina, Duane, Magdalena, Jonna. Thank you for your love, awareness, playfulness, openness and just being yourselves in your own unique way 🔮
.
My friends from my hometown Istanbul, Kerem, Bahadır, Maya, Mert, Hazel, Ceyda, Oya, Ceren and so many more people that I'm grateful for having in my life, who saw me changing throughout this year, I love you 💜

.

.
My parents Arif, Ipek and my family, thank you for believing in me and still supporting me with your love even when you didn't agree with what I was doing 😃 I love you 💞
.
My coach and friend Sherin, for supporting me all along when I was about to give up, when I didn't want to go into the unknown, when I wanted to plan out eveything for once instead of flowing and trusting, thank you for guiding me to the truth ❤️
.
My friend Duke, thank you for everything we shared, talks, adventures, healings. You taught me so much this year that I'll ever be grateful for. I'm always here for you and I want to see you more in 2018 💙
.
My love Aaron for your belief in me, love you have for me, adventures, connections, breakthroughs we had together this year. I love you with all my heart and looking forward to our beautiful journey together 💚

I am proud of the woman I've become. And I am grateful for the growth and transformation that happened in my life last year.
.
I learnt that when I follow through on my truth, I get what I want and so much more. When I seek an acknowledgment everything goes downhill. I learnt that I can do anything that I put into my mind, that I have a lot to offer and share. I learnt that as I create a life I love, things don't have to be hard, a struggle. It can be fun, easy and effortless.
.
I'm letting go of:
- Needing a rule book telling me how to do things
- Fitting into norm, not wanting to push people's understanding of what's acceptable
- Playing small
- Self judgment, impatience, sadness, anger and so much more
.
Thank you so much for all the lessons, all the hard times, all the fun times. Thank you 2017 for pushing me to own myself, to follow my truth. I let go of the girl I was and welcome the woman I am today 😍
.
Next year will have:
- Publishing 2 books
- Running a retreat for women
- Guiding men and women into who they truly are
- More breathwork, healing, dancing, tantra, sessions, workshops, talks
- Travels, festivals, trainings
- Connecting with people more
- Many more things I will reveal as I go 😉
.
I will say yes when its true to say yes, when I'm about to play big and when there's an opportunity to grow ✨

Here are great questions to acknowledge, appreciate and complete 2017:
1. What have I created in 2017?
2. What have I learnt in 2017?
3. What am I letting go of from 2017?
4. What am I going to create in 2018?
