And so we begin. A new year. A new opportunity to get closer to who we strive to be.
Blogging and writing like this, for an audience who has opted in to being here, could be my version of being heard. Since I’m not one to speak up in groups, this is like the “water cooler at the office” for me.
Writing has always been how I make sense of things and it strikes me now that I don’t use that vehicle nearly enough. The benefits are so high, yet it’s as if I’m afraid of what may come from it. At any rate, I’m grateful for each one of you for being here, for reading my words, and especially for your supportive comments. Mwah.
This year, I have no formal resolutions and I’m not participating in One Little Word, but I do have a word to keep in the forefront of my mind all year. Previous words have been very helpful in guiding me toward actions I am very proud of, and I hope this year will be no different.
My word? CONNECTION. First, I mean that spark between me and another person, both dear friends and random strangers. Second, I mean the connection I have to my inner self and soul. Finally, I refer to the unexplored but strong link I have with God/Spirit.
- Between others – I will spend much more time catching up with those I care about, both online friends and in-person relationships, nurturing our friendships. It also strikes me that just by being myself, smiling at strangers, helping someone here or there, I am making a difference for my fellow humans. I love those meaningful moments between people.
- Within – I’ve already begun to incorporate a little quiet time every day for reading and reflection. Maybe this is similar to the next one?
- With Spirit – It is only by calming my body and mind that I could hope to be in touch with my higher self. I love exploring spirituality and the connection between me and the larger infinite life force.
So, you know, nothing big. Lol.
What do you plan for yourself in this brand new year?
