December 2016 was the last time I did a year in preview. I was in a pretty dark place. What I didn’t know was how right I was about 2017 (except for the colonoscopy part. I didn’t have that until 2018).
The one huge thing I didn’t know was how fully and deeply I would fall in love in 2017. How I would find this miraculous partner in life. How at this time in my life when most people are winding down, I would continue to build up and reach for the future with a man I love by my side. We took 2018 by storm, buying a house and moving our family. Giving ourselves the space to stretch out with a lawn and a creek and a beaver dam (with an actual beaver in it). It’s been quite a year, as was 2017 before it.
Let this be a reminder to you, out of your darkness there is always the opportunity for light.
Now it’s time to keep moving.
In 2019,
I will witness my beloved child as he graduates from elementary school.
I will write again.
I will continue to teach my workshop students and expand the circle outward to bring in more students.
I will continue therapy.
I will fully and completely love my ever-expanding family.
Wishing you all peace and light.
2019. Bring it on. You are ready. Continued good work. Looking forward to your writing again.
Best to Henry. He has wonderful caring parents.
