Happy New Year!

The past couple of years I’ve done something different. I’ve had so much fun with it I think it’s a good tradition to do with you.

Rather than thinking about either New Year Resolutions to break all too soon, or hoping to a get a glimpse of what someone thinks of the future, hoping it happens, let’s each first do our own personal predictions for our coming year.

To get into the spirit of it, I’ll share mine from last year. You might remember I suggested last year that we each create three fun predictions for ourselves and tape them on the fridge as daily reminders and then see what they look like at the end of the year.

What I Predicted For This Year

Here’s what mine were and how they turned out:

1. Settle down somewhere perfect in my own little place.
2. An unexpected financial boon, a small nest egg.
3. Time to write a book.

How Did I Come Up With Those?

Then I sat down to meditate on it one day, pen and paper in hand. I asked my Higher Self for words, feelings or images that indicated what my Soul intended for my life for 2020.

First I saw a little cottage 🏡 in a neighborhood. It felt like mine and the feeling was settled, so I wrote that down for my first one. (more…)
