skyrocket!
! ! ! ! ! ! !
were your holiday dreams realized? did you receive all that you wished for? i invite you to set aside a few moments of quiet time. after the crazy rush of the christmas season, before bolting headlong into the new year. snuggle up with a hot cup of liquid coziness. and contemplate on paper what brought you happiness in 2013. fulfillment and insight.
was there a particular story, person, object, event that stood out? that held special meaning for you?
did you accomplish great things? or forge new pathways to understanding?
then i want you to brainstorm how to attract more of that delight. how to bring it fully into your life in 2014. expand the wonder to fill your world.
maybe your year was difficult or sad. did it somehow fall short?
were there moments of regret or disappointment? things you wish you could redo (or would have done)?
write down how you can change your circumstances, or at least your reactions, in the new year. introduce a hint of joy as a welcome respite.
i had an interesting year. of ups and downs, of breakthroughs and discouragements. of thrilling enlightenment and bitter disillusionment. of happiness and of sadness.
a great deal happened:
a self-immersion into memories as i sorted through box after box before moving
a goodbye to roots and also to our beloved free-spirited canine (jag)
a fabulous / inspiring / chaotic / educational / family-bonding adventure in europe
a forging of cultures with relatives never met before (despite language barriers)
a firsthand foray into the reality of my dad's advancing age
a mutual infatuation recapture with my best-friend husband
a clarification of my coaching vision as it naturally unfolded
a reconnection with childhood friends (both human and in book form)
a chance to meet several online acquaintances in person
a struggle to regulate my asthma and allergies
a fascinating seventeenth year of homeschooling

i do not want this quote to define me. don't let it describe you either.
design your own life. your bold.free.new life. match the expectation you imagine to its real-life counterpart. ~~~~~~~ next week i'll be sharing my vision board and revealing my word of the year. i'm very excited about both.
but before i leave you today . . .
seven of my most popular 2013 studio notes:
and three somewhat neglected (but i think important) studio notes from 2012:
~~~~~~~ what does your list of 2013 highlights (and lowlights) look like? (i absolutely love reading lists, so please do share.)
