I'll see you there
For my last post of 2022, I am asking you the question that I ask *everyone* this time of year. I would love to hear your answer.
Beloved.
As I put 2022 to bed by reflecting on accomplishments, growth, wins, and losses, it feels natural to turn my gaze toward 2023. I’ve tentatively landed on a word for the coming year, I am excited to tune in during Celtic Omen Days, and of course, I will be slowly and gently opening to what wants to emerge and be born in the new year as I lead Dream a New Dream.
Begin with the end in mind.
Even as I end the year with anticipation of what I know about the coming year (and curiosity about what I can’t possibly know), it’s good to have guiding questions. Questions that begin with the end in mind.
So imagine with me, won’t you?
Imagine it’s the holiday season a year from now, in 2023, and you are meeting me (or someone you haven’t seen in a while that you are excited to see) at your favorite place to enjoy your favorite hot beverage. You know the conversation will be authentic, with the invitation to be celebrated in your triumphs and held in the beauty of all you learned and experienced.
As you joyfully meet up in this imagined future…
What will you say about 2023?
What successes are you celebrating?
What challenges did you face or overcome?
What did you learn about yourself?
What adventures changed you?
How did life surprise you?
How did you surprise yourself?
Take some time in this visualization - imagine being fully received and seen. Write down your answers - please share them with me or someone who will love you and celebrate you today and at that future magic moment.
May this imagining help you set a true path for your journey in 2023.
Thank you for being here with me on Substack in 2022. I’ll see you in the new year.
