December for me always brings about a feeling of renewal especially towards the end of the month as we look towards a new year. A
time to bring some projects to an end and find renewed strength after a period
of reflection. To face a new year with new opportunities, adventures and
circumstances. This is a time to think
about the new seeds that you will sow - those ideas, goals and dreams that you
want to see in 2013 take shape and grow.
I feel the drive to take stock over what I have done during the year –
what was a hit, what missed - deciding what the best choices for what I want to
achieve.
I find it also important this year to look at my current
state of health and make changes if necessary.
I didn’t do as much walking as I would normally do this year and
definitely felt the effects of an unhealthy body. I also found out I was deficient in quite a
few vitamins which may have been the cause for the allergies that presented
themselves. I tried to convince the
doctor that a prescription for a holiday in the sun would be the right course
of action, but she couldn’t quite get passed the cheaper version of supplements
instead! So armed with my scarf, gloves
and several layers we will see the start of a regular time for exercise as I
reinvest in my physical health and well-being.
Personal development is also an area that requires focus to
see how you can grow. It is important to see growth as part of a continual process for all areas of our life, it is essential for our creativity.
I do think it is important to have a personal
development plan to enable you to either perfect a skill or learn a new
one.
I did a few courses and workshops
this year, including
Hello Soul Hello Business,
21 Secrets and
Motley Soul Mixed Media - check out some of the workshops
yourself.
There is always something
useful to learn - it is a continuous process.
There has been also been changes in the health of loved ones
and I try and think of new ways to adapt to the changing needs of my mother who
has
dementia or the resurfacing of the
multiple myeloma for my bother.
I ask for you all to continue to lift our family
in your thoughts and prayers.
Yes December for me brings thoughts of tying up loose ends
and embracing the new journeys and not running from them. I won’t run from the new challenges ahead,
some will be unexpected and some we might have some notice about, but while we
have this life, let’s live it to the full and as we are blessed, remember to be
a blessing! Why wait!
