“Your
heart is a bloom. Shoots up through the Stony Ground. “ It’s a Beautiful Day –
U2.
2013
has been the year of opportunity.
Opportunity
to see who we really are in the face of change.
Opportunity
to appreciate our metrics past present and wish list.
Opportunity
to break down and break through old stories and value the subsequent pain for its
true purpose.
Opportunity
to sneak a peek behind the green curtain and marvel at the familiar naughty old
wizard pulling the levers all along.
Opportunity
to see ourselves in the faces of those around us expressing all the stuff we
brain f*ck ourselves into believing we couldn't or shouldn't.
Opportunity
to thank them for getting their hands dirty where we simply wouldn’t!
It’s
been a year of hospitals and ambulances and discovering the depth of the human
body’s ability to endure and to heal.
It’s
been a year of THE wedding and THE engagement and THE celebration.
It’s
been a year of passports stamping and airport collecting – arriving, departing,
and returning.
It’s
been a year of peeling back the ancient layers of a house and discovering its
hidden beauty while uncovering hidden talents within ourselves in return.
It’s
been a year of expanding and connecting into new faces and new communities and
new projects with simple outstretched hands and the celebration and
appreciation of the nature that surrounds us – even in a historic inner city
pocket of the world.
It’s
been a year to marvel at the audacity of the human spirit. J
As I
stare into the face of a looming 2014, I wonder what delicious exploits await
us next year?
How
do you feel entering into a new cycle defined by the questionable structure of
those seemingly separate from us?
What
plans dance in your new year head?
What
goals tease your Christmassed out pocket?
What
dreams are ready to burst from your heart?
If
2013 were a bank balance what would the numbers be?
If
2013 were a blood test what would the results be?
If
2013 was a color, smell, taste and texture, what would it look like to you?
If
2013 were a marathon, where would you place?
For
me I will review my metrics by completing The Metriculus™ again
for myself to redefine my vision mission and purpose for the parameters of 2013
have shifted the foundations in significant unexpected ways.
I
wish you all a new year of taking action on the catalogues of endless
possibility you have collected over the past few years.
I
wish you the courage to step into unfamiliar territory flexing previously
underused muscles as you adventure your way into uncharted waters.
I
wish you a deep peace emerging from the depths of your soul as you move closer
towards your goals inch by inch step by step knowing and trusting that you are
on the right track.
Felice Anno Nuovo!!!!!
