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.
