(This piece above is the pieces I will be teaching start to finish at Craft Fusion Jan 17th)

As the year comes to an end, I begin to focus on the New Year and planning for the business and life. Setting goals, marketing plans, personal goals and things to make my relationships better. I write and write and write till there is nothing left. Then I organize and put a plan together.  I love this process…. it revitalizes me, new energy, and new experiences!  As important as this process is to me for growth….. there is something that I almost always forget to do at this time of year….. and that is to look back and be grateful.

Grateful for what I received from 2014….. For me it’s part of accepting the good and the not so good, owning it and living in a peaceful place.  It prepares for me for the New Year.

I hope you look back on this last year and embrace all the moments, the blunders, the scary, the heartache, the laughter, the rejections and the acceptance, the love, the soul searching, the goals attained, the stretching yourself, the muddled feeling and the sheer delight, the hugs, the uncertainty, the power, the weakness, the fights and the make up, the doubt and the confidence, the faith and the unbelief.

Embrace it all! Every stinkin good and bad, and make peace with it, with yourself, so that you can be ready for another Brilliant and Blundersome (I just made that word up) New Year!

You are amazing, You are loved!
