What a year! I got married to my BigLifeLove, in France. I traveled to 7 countries and 10 US cities, for work and personal exploration. I welcomed a new job, with new friends and colleagues included. I managed the demons in my head telling me I am not good enough. I sighed and yelled at the television and the radio news, like they could hear me. I marched. I yelled. I cried. I laughed. I danced.

I lived

As I sit here today, I find myself somber. Not depressed, just somber for the loss I’ve had, for the things I wish I had done differently, for the things loved and lost. But I also smile for the love that I have found, for my darling sons, for the family and friends that are dear, for the lessons learned and good choices made.

I am living

But it’s not enough to reflect on the past or even enough to sit with the immediate. What is enough is to live each day with the intent to live the life you want, the life of your heart and soul, to live your vision. This takes discipline, takes reflection, it takes YOU!

In this month often void of discipline, we are escaping for the week, headed to an island to stop, reflect, relax and recharge for the year ahead. I cannot predict what the year will bring.  I will focus on the things important to me, I will work to be my best self each day. I will use my BIgLifeVision to shape my decisions and guide my actions. I’m excited for the year ahead.

I am living with vision

Happy New Year to you! What will you do with the year ahead? What’s your vision?

Cheers To You and the Year Ahead!
