Happy New Year Everyone!

I love this time of year. A fresh start. A ritualized time to reflect on where I’ve been and where I would like to go in the new year. And it just so happens that I indulge in this practice year round! I’ve found that reflecting and creating my experience, daily, is the number one way to keep myself positive, present and moving forward. And it works! Miraculously.

This past year I had created a template, that I filled out with my Evolve 2011 participants daily, where we could reflect and create. But a special one was needed in order to mark the turn of the calendar.

So on January 1st, I sent a series of questions out to my Evolvians that was similar to the daily template they were familiar with, but like I said, included a few “year end” modifications.

I invite you too, to sit down and Reflect on 2011 + Create 2012 by using the following questions as your guide. Again, I can not express how powerful a tool this simple template can be. One Evolve participants calls it her “daily vitamin” and wonders how she ever got along without it.

I often wonder that same thing myself.

Here you’ll find a downloadable template for you to use, and just below I share with you my filled-in year end/new year template. I have so much gratitude to you all and look forward to what we’ll uncover in 2012 together.

Cheers to a gorgeous New Year!

…………………………………………………………………..

Right now I feel… Grateful. A little groggy. Open. Ready. Slightly anxious. Excited.

What I’m grateful for from 2011:

  • All of my clients (especially my Evolve 2011 participants) for jumping into this experiment with me at the beginning of last year, site unseen. Thank you. Seriously, thank you.
  • A seemingly endless supply of great great friends in and out of Austin
  • Clean and clear and loving relationships with my family members
  • My freedom
  • A lot of amazing travel – some for work/play and some just for pleasure
  • Astounding Abounding Abundance
  • My bed (that one comes up a lot in my gratitudes)
  • Joel, my friend/trainer who makes exercise fun and is helping me get physically strong for the first time in my life
  • All the folks who support me in my business endeavors
  • A new nephew joining the family
  • Love in all of it’s many forms


What have I learned in 2011?

  • 1. I actually do like to exercise! And, I can workout without hurting my back. I just needed to work on my glutes and core first.
  • 2. Having a year to support folks is really the way to go for me.
  • 3. I’m happiest when I’m near large bodies of water.
  • 4. Life is as it is. I can resist or I can accept. Accepting lends itself to more ease and flow. Resistance tends to just muck it all up. And yet, it’s part of life. Oh well.
  • 5. I have some habits and beliefs around food and my body that I choose to change.
  • 6. Anything is possible. The work is clearing those pesky limiting thoughts that get in the way of allowing.

My intention(s) for 2012 or I choose to feel… Gorgeous. Light. Fit. Astoundingly Aboundingly Abundant! Free. Joyful. Love love love love LOVING.

What am I joyfully anticipating in 2012?

  • 1. A wildly successful Evolve 2012 – A year to focus on creating and sharing amazing insights and practical tools  (way more tools) on parenting, personhood, partnership and prosperity that can really help people retrain their brains for more love, fun and joy. Another, more focused year of learning and sharing and supporting.
  • 2. Insane physical fitness -  To feel super fit and strong and gorgeous and alive and sexy and comfortable and capable.
  • 3. More love – True, deep, fun, sparkly, delicious LOVE! In all it’s various forms. I’m wide open. Do as you will.
  • 4. International travel – France, The Netherlands, Iceland, Belgium, Spain, Scandinavia are on the top of my list for spring. I’m also wide open to any and all other places. Especially tropical spots in the South Pacific. Yes please!
  • 5. A whole summer away from Austin – Time in the northeast with my family, time on the west coast and time out of the country. I’m going to beat the heat this year!
  • 6. Debby and I getting our book published. Finally.
  • 7. Massively creative projects that are fun and satisfying and profitable.
  • 8. More paid speaking gigs in beautiful places with interesting people.
  • 9. Surprises. Lots and lots of completely delightful surprises.
  • 10. Even more freedom.The ability to go where I want, when I want and do what I want to do.
  • 11. Inspiration. To feel inspired everyday to create and give and love and be more alive.
  • 12. More consciousness. To be more awake and present to All.
