Let the New Year in!
Hola Friends,
Long time no blog! Just a quick note as the anticipated eve of the coming year shines before us! Now is the time to recap on our accomplishments, disappointments, hopes, fears and well, what I think is most important; an outline to what we set before ourselves as future goals.
Everyone has their typical resolutions! Stop the swearing, the smoking, the bottle (!), a life of sin and smoky seduction… OK OK well maybe more just letting go of drinking soda pop and eating fast food and movie theatre popcorn! Sometimes for some, that is a fearful brush with life on the wild side!
For others it is more about letting go. Finding comforts in the gifts of your “present” and focusing on the positive space in your life. Perhaps Thanksgiving and New Years were switched, as you would think eating lots of coma inducing turkey and lounging around giving thanks would come before a nice clean slate (plate?!) of a New Year and that a gratituitous evening of reflection and pondering would arrive just on a day of thanks and praise. Or perhaps they blend into one.
Either way now is the time: To do what has always been wanted or to get moving on a new path. Change is good; it is necessary for the soul. Sometimes the comforts of a cozy nest may strap a bird from heading South, but birds were meant to fly. The armour of fear may be heavy on your back, yet it keeps you aware and grateful for where you came from.
Many have made resolutions, adamant in their efforts. Keeping these self promises are the hard part and not all succeed. I suggest picking up a resolution that you have truly thought about. What is it that you want? How does that fit into your life now or in your life to come? What lengths will you go to get it and will you sacrifice for it? Is it worth all the heat? Take it from me. The end result is always worth it, so long as you feel the fire, the passion I always speak of; the different turns you take will get you there. And *there* is not always where you expect, but always a pleasant surprise, passing through storms and scenic outlooks– inner battles and self development.

Happy New Year!
