Happy new year, readers! It’s 2018, how did that happen?<\/p>\n
Whaaatttt?!<\/p>\n
Time to think about what it is I’m doing with my years, as they stack up.\u00a0 I did a new years ceremony with some friends, and we all came up with our WORD for the year. how we each want to show up and be in the next year.<\/p>\n
It’s funny. At this point, I have crossed off a lot of the definable goals. Graduated from college. Have a husband, daughter and a mortgage, not in that order.<\/p>\n
I have published a book. More than one.<\/p>\n
I have a career.<\/p>\n
So now it’s more about how I want to feel.<\/p>\n
Have you seen that video of Jim Carrey talking? He says “I wish everyone could be rich and famous, so they could see that it isn’t the answer to anything.”<\/p>\n
Well, damn. So what is?<\/p>\n
All those things I felt like I had to have, like i couldn’t be me until i had them–the achievements and statuses–what now?<\/p>\n
Me and my friends wanted to think about what we wanted to feel like. How we wanted to experience life.<\/p>\n
This is a new idea for me.\u00a0Is it because I have reached a certain age? Or is the whole zeitgeist coming to realize this?<\/p>\n
The phrase is “core desired feelings.”\u00a0 How does my life make me feel? Is that how I want to feel? If not, can I do something to change it?<\/p>\n
Guess what my word is. I choose:<\/p>\n
EXPLOSION<\/p>\n
Go big or go home! But still, they way I think about it is that explosions have to be very strategic or they are not effective.<\/p>\n
I want to explode on my days and in my life with precision, to make an IMPACT.<\/p>\n
that requires directing my energy and then<\/p>\n
BAM<\/p>\n
That’s how I want to live in 2018. That’s how I want to feel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
