Happy New Here



Specialty Ice-Cream Cones -one of Tanita's new achievements

Cheers to a New Year.

Cheers to a New Here.

A New Here could mean changing where you live physically.

A New Here could also mean changing where you live intellectually, spiritually, socially, emotionally, creatively, or vocationally.

Doing different things.

Or doing things differently.

So cheers to a New Here.

To looking at things with a fresh eye.

To changing up your routine.

To stretching your body in new ways.

To stretching your mind to new things.

To trying something completely adventurous.

To chasing a few ideas down rabbit holes.

Cheers to looking at ‘Here’ without looking back.

And because this may require courage, I was prompted to write Dare to Share and What's Next for You.

And because this may require confidence, I wrote How To Feel Good About Yourself When the Chips Are Down.

And because you may be feeling a bit worn and jaded, I wrote How To Become a New Person.

And because you may be cynical, I wrote How to Let Nothing Come Between You and A Fulfilling Life.

And because you may be suffering from inertia, I wrote The Path to Change and 7 Keys to Changing Things Up.

And finally, because you may be low on ideas, I wrote Elections 2012 – Yes on Bath Crayons.

Yes, I truly believe a renewed sense of hope and excitement and determination is just an inspiration or idea away.

So cheers to kicking “woe me” in the pants.

To saying “I can” and “I will”.

Happy New Here!

Have a Meaningful, Fulfilling 2015!

(Or as Roberto Goizueta put it - "In order to show proper respect for your future, you must sometimes show some insensitivity to your past ")

A New Year's Wish For You



http://pinterest.com/mccallh/new-years-eve/
Round the corner….
…Is food you’ve never tasted and recipes you’ve never tried

Round the corner….
…Is a fresh start and an opportunity to grow a new self

Round the corner…
…Are fellow-travelers you will meet whose words, or comments, or advice you will be grateful for
  
Round the corner…
…Is the lightheartedness that comes from a relationship that’s been mended

Round the corner…
…Is the self transformation you long for and the new ways of living and consuming it brings

Round the corner…
… Are lessons you will learn the hard way, or even harder way, and the courage to learn from them and move on

Round the corner….
…. Are people you will meet who will leave an unforgettable imprint on your life and memories that will be created which you will recall with joy

Round the corner….
 …Is an experience that will move you or restore your faith in humanity

Round the corner….
….Is the courage to follow your heart’s desire

Round the corner….
….Is the challenge to transcend personal tragedy and rise above personal circumstances to heal and be healed

Round the corner….
..Is your opportunity to change lives by your example

Round the corner….
…Is your chance to explore your creative side

Round the corner….
 …Is a new lens through which to look at emotional problems

Round the corner….
…Is the brainwave to explore your moorings or to reflect on what absorbs you

Round the corner…
Is the moment when the light breaks in the areas of your life that are still in darkness

Round the corner…
…Is your opportunity to show the world who you really are and what you are really capable of

As we approach the New Year, I am filled with expectancy about what’s Round the corner.

For you.

For me.

And for all of humanity.

Happy New Year to All of You.  Have a Great 2013!  

(Or as Oprah said: Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right)
