Goodbye 2009! Hello New Decade!

The last day of 2009. A year and a decade finish tonight at midnight! And tonight is special in other ways--there's a blue moon (another full moon in the same month) and a partial lunar eclipse. Wow! That's a lot of responsibility for one day! ;o)

I am happy that 2009 is ending. It has been a challenging year for us: 2 deaths, 2 apartment moves, 2 people (Michel and me) thinking they had gone through some portal into an alternate reality. Things we thought worked a certain way (belief system things) simply didn't this year. A life-lesson year!

In honor of this last day of 2009, I am posting the mandala* I used for my holiday card and also a quote that brings balance to the whole resolution frenzy that happens every year at this auspicious time.


“We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.” ~Ellen Goodman

May 2010 be a year where you discover your amazing potential and fulfill your greatest dreams.

Happy New Year!
