Making a list 2016

Making a list for 2016

With my word to help define the year and the intentions I aspire to achieve I approach this new year with resolute excitement. And isn't that how we should feel, excited about the prospect of what is to come, of things we can do and all the possibilities which arise in a New Year?

Working on my word for the year. If you have not tried, here and here are a few places to get you started. It is a powerful way to set intentions. The word I am choosing is still tumbling before me as I vacillate between; joy, flourish, balance, growth, enjoy, grace, focus and fruition.

My intentions for 2016 are...
