How do I you see yourself at the end of 2012? – Thanks to the The Summer Blog Hop Challenge, I get to contemplate more of my near future. It feels very good, actually ~ I decided to make it into a list because #1) I love lists. #2) I am in a listmaking mood. #3) It helped me stay focused and intentionally powerful with few words. Perhaps it would be wise for you to make your list?
- I will have traveled more with my children: explored more of the Southwest instead of plugging into the Northeast. Since Katherine started attending Smith College in Western Massachusetts, I have made more trips to New England than I ever did in the past. Thankfully I love it there, but I also feel like it is time to expose my children to more of the west since we are Californians.
- I will have made my first trip to Europe. Katherine is taking her senior year abroad. I am going to visit her in December and fly home with her. Fantastic!
- I will have more Writing Campers from more places. YAY! My unique writing and creativity virtual retreat/camp/space of inspiration is growing. Usually in Summer it slows. Not this year. I am grateful.
- I will have more books published. Love the options from CreateSpace.
- My children will be content educationally and socially. Each of them are having adventures in learning for which I feel so fortunate.
- My home will be even more welcoming than it is now. I have several projects in the works. Emma’s room, the hallway, and continuing to show my photography, my painting and more of my Women’s Sphere? projects. I want to continue to share hospitality with couch surfers.
- 7. I will have continued to spread my artistic wings. So excited to do more paper art. Learning to make paper is exciting me so much… more mixed media techniques here I come!
- I will have active spiritual practices that delight and inspire me. Morning pages, walking, art, Lectio Devina… what else? I’ll be shown!
- 9. I will laugh, daily. Since October of 2011 I have been actively engaged in another battle with depression. I am grateful to say I am winning. I will continue to be victorious. I will laugh, daily.
- I will remember to let go of attachment to outcomes – so if the ways I see myself are 1,000 times different than I write now, almost halfway through, I will know everything IS going to be just fine because with resilience it always is, it always is... just fine.
