I had a friend over for breakfast this morning. Oatmeal with goji berries and local cane syrup. Mmm... We fried up the mini egg (and split it).
In other, perhaps more important news; I have new work caring for an old friend. So it continues to fall into place, this 'bohemian' life of mine. Selling antiques, community manager, elder care provider, gardener, property maintenance and the like. It works. Im psyched. This is what I have dreamt of. Bits and pieces of assorted work, independent, money making jobs. Piecing together an income doing various work that I love and feel good about, mostly while the kids are in school. All the while having plenty of time for me, and doing what I love. This weekend I intend to sit and journal my wishes and goals for 2012. I plan to spend a few hours really examining the direction I want my life to take. Here are some of the questions I have taken from "The Language of Letting Go" by Melody Beattie: "What would you like to have happen in your life this year? What would you like to do, to accomplish? What would you like to attract into your life? What particular areas of growth would you like to have happen to you? What would you like to attain? Little things and big things? What would you like to have happen in friendship and love? What would you like to have happen in your family life? What problems would you like to see solve? What decisions would you like to make? What would you like to happen in your career? What would you like to see happen inside and around you?"
Try it with me. 2012 is a year to get focused and let go. To define what is really important to us and see what the universe has in store. To facilitate the change we want to see in and around us.
"Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." - Howard Thurman
Happy New Year! Lets all shine as bright as we can. Kristen
Hi Kristen
ReplyDeleteI love that last quote! It's so true. I have always done jobs that I thought were 'worthy' but I have recently started a course in Horticulture and have been spending time crafting in order to make me come alive.
How cute is that tiny egg? That made me smile :)
Enjoy doing your 2012 goals this weekend, those questions will certainly make you identify your intentions.
This year I am trying out a vision board for a new approach to my intentions.
Happy New Year to you
Jo :)
Some great questions for your journaling, Kristen. Possibilities abound! (And I think you already know that!) Here's to a rich and fulfilling year! (Sometimes one very tiny egg at a time! :-))
