New Year’s day is my favorite holiday of the year! There is something cool about being able to wipe the slate clean (if you need to) and start fresh. I enjoy reflecting on my past year, so every year I sit down with my calendars and do a little journaling recap of the events and happenings of the year for myself and my family. It is interesting to look at the year as a whole and realize all we accomplished and sometimes wonder how we did it all. Sometimes I look back and think “oh, I forgot about that!” and some of the events make me sad. All in all, I enjoy the process and it ultimately moves me toward my vision for the year ahead, which also becomes part of my journaling.
I lay out a plan of the areas and details of my life that I want to put my energy into and write my dreams out on paper. What unfolds from there always depends on where I choose to put my positive energy.
I said I like the idea of wiping the slate clean and what I have come to realize is that we can do that every morning when we wake up if we want to. We have the power to change the plan by changing the goals and changing the choices we make. We can actually do that any moment we choose, not just when we wake in the morning.
So part of my plan for 2012 is to keep and expand on what is working for me. I have a goal of staying open to new ideas so that I can evolve and create a life that continues to be the fullest, best expression of who I am. My purpose is to teach this, to whoever will listen. 2012 is about teaching what I know and soaking up all there is to still learn so I can keep teaching.
I believe that we are here on the planet to connect with others. We connect in many different ways in all of our daily interactions. We teach, we learn, we listen, we care, we love. One of the most fulfilling ways to connect is by living in our own passions and being an expression of that to those we connect with. That whole process is a process of healing. And it is part of what I want to help people do.
I HAVE SOME EXCITING GOALS FOR 2012, MEANT TO SHARE WITH YOU! I SO HOPE YOU WILL JOIN ME AS I CONTINUE TO LEARN, HEAL AND TEACH…
