December Merriment

Love that my December art Journal doesn't have Red & Green in it...Love alternative sparkly holiday colors!

I'm sitting in the light of our Christmas tree and blinking holiday lights, eating a dark chocolate kiss feeling very content. I absolutely LOVE the holiday season.... the sparkle and twinkle of Christmas lights, the opportunity to attend and host festive gatherings and creating and LIVING holiday traditions.

My main goal this December and really every December for many years has been to embrace the holidaze, bring a bit of cheer to my family and friends and help create a few special moments to provide lasting memories.

During the remainder of this December 2012, I'd love to incorporate a bit of:

• Reflection on the year of 2012. I enjoyed creating a pictorial summary of 2011; it's such a fun way to visually reflect on the year's experiences

• Brainstorm a few big picture goals I'd like to see happen in my life during 2013

• Create a 2013 Mantra - a word or phrase I can continuously return to for inspiration that guides me through my days, projects and efforts

• As I enter a new stage of my career, at a new company and in a new city --> I'd like to create new daily and weekly routines that allow me to create space in my schedule for healthy routines, yoga practices, gym visits and yoga teaching

• Learning, Learning, Learning my new accounting role

• RESTORE!!! Take moments to breath, wakeful rest, spoil myself to unscheduled time

• Spread Holiday Cheer!
