Happy New Year - Starting Again in 2017


Happy New Year to All! Let's party!

2016 was chock full of, well, everything! Ups, downs, surprises, and it seemed to just go on and on and on and on... Like that relentless To Do list that never ends. Just when 3 things were crossed off, 4 more were added.  For many, this continued up until the stroke of midnight.

From a numerological point of view, 2016 was a "9" year (2+1+6=9), and 9s are years of completion. The end of a 9 year cycle before we start over with 10 (or back to 1).  To me, it felt similar to when some of us get ready to go on a trip - we try to get all those loose ends tied up before we go, and just when we think we are about ready to go, we get a flat tire or have to take the dog to the vet! That was 2016. Completing what ever it was that we were doing for the last 9 years. Time to celebrate! We did that!

That makes 2017 a "10" or as we say in the filming business "back to 1." So we begin again. Fresh start. For some, this feels like freedom. For others, very ungrounding. Things to pay attention to - what is it we really want (if anything).  So in this season of "New Years Resolutions," this would be a year to pay closer attention to big picture goals/intentions as we are setting the stage for another 9 years.

The upside of a clean slate, is that it's clean. A blank canvas. Nothing on it. Spacious. The downside of a clean slate is that it's clean. A blank canvas. Nothing on it. Spacious. And nature abhors a vacuum, so if you don't fill it consciously, eventually your unconscious, or the collective consciousness will fill it for you.

So if you don't know what you intentions for the next cycle are, take a moment and feel what it is you truly want more of, and fill it with that. At least until you get clearer as you set your stage for your next act.

So if you aren't clear, maybe take the first couple weeks to let some of the dust settle, take stock, go deep, and see what you really want to commit to for yourself, your transformation, your journey. What tools would be useful? What inspires you? What are you willing to do differently?

And if you want to go deeper with this, join me on Jan 15 for the Win-Win in the New Year workshop. I usually refrain from workshop promo in the blog form, it's just that it feels like the Jan 15, 2017 (which is a "8" - balance, power, and if you put the 8 on it's side, the Infinite) is going to be really important. No pressure! And of course, let's just drop our expectations to the ground and we'll all be ok...

And don't forget to Celebrate your Self today! It's a New Day! A New Year!  Party on! etc...
more elipses and exclamation marks please...
