I am so appreciative each time you share something from your life about your loves, your journey, your joys, hurts and your many inquiries and explorations…

Reading your posts reminds me of the importance of posting more personally and more often myself!

My business and this work demands so much of me, I have found myself exhausted by it to the point where I simply have to unplug and go offline to recharge.

However, I am consistently working to create a lifestyle that is simpler, easier, where I have time, energy and joy enough to write more posts sharing my heart, my dog, my life.

And that’s my promise to you in 2014 and beyond.

I was talking to Barb Cotta, my best friend and mentor/coach, about how discouraged and depressed I get sometimes.  She was astonished because from her perspective, it’s been an extraordinary year on so many levels!  And in retrospect she’s right, it has been an amazing year.

She’s given me an assignment which I’m working on.  If you’ve also felt that way, then do this exercise with me.

Recap your entire year – your successes and perceived failures, your spiritual journey, insights, milestones and accomplishments.

What do you know NOW that you didn’t know this time last year?

What do you want to do different in 2014?

What do you want more of?  Less of?

For me this next year is about taking extra measures of self care so that I can serve at a higher level.  What’s your promise for yourself??

Much love and many many blessings, today and always,

Val
