Happy New Year to everyone!
This morning I received an email from Eve Agee. I don't know her personally but I signed up a month or so ago for her mailing list. This particular email addressed the idea of New Year's resolutions, and suggested that rather than making resolutions (which often are broken or forgotten), choose a theme or vision for the year and create a focus around it. Some of her examples were the "Year of Joy," "Year of Health," and "Year of Love". Once you have chosen a theme, she then suggests that you create a visual aid of some sort like a painting, collage, drawing or even a list. As you think about your theme, imagine what it's soundtrack might be and how you would explain it to a child. The idea is to allow these exercises to get you deeper into your focus and to attach positive emotion to it.
As I read through the email, this idea really resonated with me so I thought I would take a few moments to do this for myself (here...publicly...because why not?). So here goes...
I declare 2015 as my Year of Abundant Prosperity and Joyful Love. About a month ago, as a result of some connections that I have made over the last couple of years with some wonderful people, I now have an additional stream of income. For the first time in over ten years, Thanks to this, I am able to breathe a little financially. I intend to move forward this year embracing this prosperity and to finally allow myself to start planning for the things that have been long overdue (such as getting certain things repaired on my car and investing in projects around my house). Along with this prosperity, I will continue to pave the way for creating the love-filled life that I started focusing on in 2014. For the past six months, I have slowly whittled away at the stuff in my house in an attempt to create room for someone else to live or at least stay with me more frequently. These two themes really go hand in hand because the abundant prosperity will bring about the rest of the renovations that I want to do in my house, which will in turn create more space to share with someone else. I'm not sure what my soundtrack would be yet but I'm pretty certain that it would include some Weird Al (although I will refrain from wearing stripes with plaids in public for the time being).
So, there's the beginning of my vision/theme for the new year. What does your 2015 look like?
