For the next three days of December, we're going to be evaluating 2012. Here's the Cultivate12 prompt for today:
Reframing: How are you
framing yourself, your relationships, your community, and your dreams? Could
you reframe these as we enter 2013?
As soon as this prompt came up I thought, “VISUAL ELEMENT!” and “Art it up, baby!” I could literally picture photos I have taken and wrapping them in “frames of meaning” to hang on my wall. They would be more like “re”frames of meaning.
I am working on a lot right now. The a-ha’s are flying and I am trying to shepherd those baby a-ha’s instead of throw them on the floor and forget about them. I need to tie something to these concepts so they stay right in the forefront of my mind.
I wrote yesterday about time management and the concept of
asking a question early in the day and then right before sleep to allow your
subconscious to bring the answers to you.
The question I
have been asking is, “What can I do today to build my
business?” with a follow up for when I am in action, “What can this action do
to build my business?”
It is a great way for me to focus on my business because in 2013 I want to frame my business in abundant breakthrough. I want to take it to its full richness through serving a lot of people who have yet to hear my message, my lessons, my teaching and offer them the priceless gift of seeing life and living life and speaking with a voice that is clearly one thousand percent their’s in all areas: professionally, artistically, relationally, Mommyingly, spiritually.
With GROW as my word, this fits perfectly.
In 2012 I would have liked my business to wear 2013’s frame and in some ways it did but in others, it wore the “Wait until time is right and I know the outcome of this whole cancer thing…” frame. I put a lot on hold because of that cancer thing and that recovery from that cancer thing and my fear of more cancer thing.
I frame my community as “Place I live because Emma has two more years of high school and I don’t hate it but the fit isn’t great.” I have immersed myself in the arts community so to a certain extent it is a-ok but once again, the niggles to move are scratching my forehead.
I have seen my home as “ball and chain”.
I want to reframe my home into “Sanctuary Space”. I’m not going anywhere until 2014, at the earliest, so for now it is my Sanctuary Space. Reframing it like this will make it fit, just right, and enable me to reach out into my microcosm of a community (my neighborhood) more.
I would like to frame my most important relationships in a frame of Passionate Gratitude. I have so many beloved friends and my children – yes. Draped in a frame of Passionate Gratitude for just who these lovely souls are, not because of what they do but who they are to me.
I noticed in October there was some reframing of my relationship with my Mom. I want to keep that up. I am not sure about the rest of my family, but I will hold it there and says, “Reframe as you go” and “reframe as you create art!”
I’ll reference #cultivate12 when I do make that blog post with the artful reframing.
Thank you, all, for reading and supporting mine and everyone else’s process as we end 2012 and bring 2013 into the light.
