2014- Ready to go!
While this process has taken a few weeks to unfold, I am satisfied with my results. I have a list of 12 things on my 2014 agenda, ideally one thing a month that I can focus on and delve into.

We are well into the second week of the year and I am still uncertain about what I want to focus on for 2014. I feel like my plate is pretty full so I don't want to add a bunch of stuff, yet at the same time, I do. I want to explore all kinds of interests, too many, and I am not sure which should be my priority. So for the time being I am taking my time to re-evaluate where I am and where I want to go.

I know January is almost over, so New Year's Resolutions are already a thing of the past. That's okay with me, I actually don't have much in the way of a Resolution this year. Last year's intentional and focused shift from busyness to awareness, was a huge resolution, not a simple 365 day project but part of my continuing life journey. I made great strides in no longer living by events and activities, but there is more to learn, more to change, more room to grow in that area. However this is no longer the season for such focused self re-structuring.

Over the past couple of New Years I have tried different techniques and types of resolutions in hope of figuring out how to stick to them! Last year I decided against “resolutions” and instead created a list of 12 projects (one for each month) that I could actually attain. It was very gratifying to check off each accomplishment:
