I love the new year. The shaking off of the old and the excitement of the possible. The new…
For those of you who are readers, it is much like the anticipation of a new book that everyone has told you that you “must” read. For the artist, the joy of the rough draft… the promise of the mental image coming to life.
Every new year is an opportunity to create a new story – to draw or form a crazy awesome work of art.
Regardless of what you are facing this year – a new relationship, a new diagnosis, a fresh start, a challenging project – it is your opportunity to shine right through it! To “decide” that whatever comes your way, that you are going to step in with a new optimism, a spirit of faith and a “get ‘er done” attitude.
After all, the story of our lives is a combination of the people in our lives, the places we travel, art, music, movies, good books and great food (and more). While we don’t get to know what is around each corner, we do get to choose how we are going to “show up,” and respond.
My prayer is that your 2017 story is made up of so many amazing chapters, that you focus on the good and that you decide today that the crazy and harsh will be just that… and left in it’s place. Life is short as anyone who has experienced loss knows all too well.
Let’s all form a “tribe” of people that create a magical story that makes everyone around us want to not only read it, but be a part of it!
