my birthday is tomorrow... a whole year passed since the last. i promised my thoughts of reflection on the last year... a very major and intrical year in my life... an influence unlike any other year i've lived through on the rest of my life; sometimes you just know... and so in the following forum i share with you my thoughts...
so much closer, now, then ever....

i send you an invitation to reflect, alongside of me, on all that transpired in this last year.
-what were the things you were proud of (your evolution, your expression(s), your courage, your changes, growths, healings, experiences etc)?

-what things are you grateful for (people, events, your body, mentors, family, your dog, your being alive etc)?

-what things do you forgive yourself for?

-is there anyone you'd like to reach out to, to apologize to, or to express how you feel about them to before the year ends?

-how are you different this year than you were last year?

-how did you take better care of yourself this year?

and looking forward...

-what is your intention for this coming year (to love more fiercely--yourself first of course--than ever before, to slow down, to acknowledge yourself more, to express yourself in new ways etc)?

-what area of your life needs attention from you (relationships, your home, your creative personal expression, your spirituality, your friendships etc)?

-what things can you do this year that bring you a great sense of joy and purpose (if it's purpose without joy, i'd encourage you to keep looking :)?

-what talent or gift is sitting in your back pocket that you've not yet expressed, that you may want to in 2005?

-what scary and exciting thing has been beckoning you, that you may take the risk of checking out this coming year (sports, reaching out to someone, trying something new etc)?

-what can you be grateful for IN ADVANCE, knowing that it's on its' way to you (something that you know will benefit you and others, in that order)?

i am so with you all. and so i let my new year begin...
