HAPPY NEW YEAR I Love that today is Day 1 for us all; the world collective reboot. There is no other shared start. Our Birthdays, anniversaries of every kind and end dates are varied, with each of us counting moments by personal yardsticks. Today is the agreed on day to Begin Again. Ideally, it is the first page in a new novel, the first step on a new journey, the 1 count for a many phase achievement. Of course, every single day, and within them each moment, carries a seed of change, if we are so bold as to actualize the germination. But, 1/1 is sanctioned as a start date. I do not believe in Resolutions; they are too easily abandoned by my irresolute self. I do believe in To-Do lists. They can be worked through. They can be set aside for a time, without quitting. They can be pulled back out, worked on some more and happily checked off, as time, opportunity, finances and desire will allow. My 2015 List includes items from last year, the year before and the year before that, etc... Even if it did not, there would always be those things I sought, desired, hoped and aimed for that did not happen. That is true for all of us because what is fervently held is often far too precious to put on a list. We dare not ask our hearts truest desires for fear of their unlikely manifestation. Wed rather not ask than be disappointed. Heres my (Unflinching, Braver than ever, Bolder and Gutsier than I Imagined I could ever be), 2015 To-Do List: Become a published, paid Writer. Visit Seattle. Travel abroad. Run the 10k Peachtree Road Race, (19 days after my 50th birthday). Celebrate the Holidays, vacationing with all four of my children and their significant others. Be embraced by romantic true love. And, last-but-not-least, as so many of the rest of you, and, yes, I know it is not that big a deal, but: lose the last 10 pounds! Ive been stuck at -95 for the last 6 weeks...and its time to finish what I began, 3.5 years! ago. I encourage each one of you to create your own list too, if only in your heart, but even better, To-Do while you can!!!) So much Love to all of you, especially those who have, and will continue to, support my lists goals...but also to each of us in mustering up the intestinal fortitude to dare ask the Universe to manifest our passions, as we devote ourselves to the work required in their achievement. Special Thanks to the following individuals who, by example, birthright and/or their lionhearted friendships, make it possible for me to begin this year confident and with purpose: Pat Roche and Ronnie Roche and Alex Nolan-Ingham, Tristram Nolan-ingham, James C Brolin-ingham and Chris Nolan-Ingham, Donna Ison, Chandrika Duffy and Peter Bloeme. Happy 2015 Everyone. )
