happy 2008

Here it is already ~ a brand new year! We rang it in at our house with a super fun gathering of some of our most spirited friends and since then... I’ve been reflecting, doing a lot of reflecting. (We also just saw that movie, Into the Wild ~ if that doesn’t get you thinking I don’t know what will....AMAZING film.) It’s that time of year. Time for new intentions, time for change, to step back into your life in the most powerful way, and by most powerful I mean~ this is it ~ every day is always the chance to grab hold of your life and turn it into what you want it to be.

And it seems like many of us are ready to do just that. Turn our lives into what WE want them to be. I’ve decided that this year as I continue to find and refine my voice both personal and artistic, especially with this blog, and with my podcasts; I want to offer more support (and inspiration) to those taking that path. It’s a road I am becoming quite familiar with. And even with all its perceived uncertainty, I would have it no other way.

I also just want to continue to offer a little happiness in every day with the art I create.

I am wishing you a year filled with the realization of all your hopes and wishes. To borrow Paul’s saying, may 2008 be GREAT!

and go blaze your own trail!

I've been trying and trying to come up with a phrase or word that captures what I hope for in 2008. You led me to it.."refine my voice". Exactly!
