Ready, set, go!

As much as I intended to start the year out thoughtfully and slowly and not be a fool who rushes in… I did it anyway.  I don’t mind though, I am learning to accept myself as I am and give myself what I give others in life, the presumption of good.

I am diving into work projects, writing projects, making new contracts and contacts, revising my website and trying to decide how to re-launch it, singing every chance I get, participating in a fitness challenge and remembering to breathe.

Every year we have a tradition of making dream boards, some people call them vision maps, others intentions but the idea is the same.  You choose images and words from magazines that represent concepts and experiences you want to bring into this year.  It is fun and effective for learning what is really on your mind and heart.  I’ve been doing these boards for over 20 years and have loved seeing the changes in me as reflected in what I desire.

My first boards were full of material things in my twenties and gradually the material disappeared to make way for the experiences and circumstances of life.  Now you’ll find emotions, states of being and qualities on my board, the details have faded and I create a picture of health, joy, laughter, prosperity, giving and growing.  This year we will get to our group in California to late in the year to do this ritual with them so we’re going to invite some Ptown pals to join us and set up  a group skype with our west coast friends.  Should be fun, energizing and I’m curious what I’ll see on my brightly colored poster board this year.

Cheers to you!
