goals and serendipity

I got an email newsletter with a very short concise commentary on goals which was serendipitous in content to several conversations that I've had with friends lately...

here's that it says:

Goals

"It is not enough to take steps which may some day lead to a goal; each step must be itself a goal and a step likewise."
-Goethe (1749-1832)

This week our topic is goals. We learn about the importance of setting goals, and we know how good it feels when we reach those goals. But at the same time, we need to remember that each step is an important part of our progress. We need to recognize this, and celebrate that we are moving forward. We are learning and growing every day.
-Lissa Coffey

perhaps it's the current year winding down & new year coming on,
perhaps it's the gradual lengthening of the days,
perhaps it's holiday stress release

whatever the reason
each step is a step, whether forward or back.

holiday song

My favorite online Season's Greeting:

White Christmas


Enjoy!

interesting bit....

that explains quite a lot ...
well, at the very least it helps add a bit of clarity to my current (and on-going) situation

every little bit of additional information can aid one in making sense of the misadventures that occur in our lives and, more importantly, how to over come and continue as a more whole individual...

	Neptune Conjunct Saturn Dec 22, 2008 to Feb 18, 2009 A lot of soul-searching, questions and doubts about your values, commitments and the overall direction of your life mark this time period as a critical and difficult one.ot of soul-searching, questions and doubts about your values, commitments and the overall direction of your life mark this time period as a critical and difficult one. You may feel less enthusiastic or motivated than usual but aren't sure why. If you are predisposed to depression or confusion, those feelings could set in now; you may lose faith in yourself and your abilities or feel inadequate and lacking in direction. You may find it difficult to approach your daily tasks with your usual level of enthusiasm. Subconscious doubts about the ultimate value of your endeavors are undermining your sense of purpose. Find some solitude and gain some distance from your daily life at this time, but don't completely retreat from life and resign from your daily affairs, which you may be tempted to do. Evaluate your situation in life, your commitments, decisions and values, but try to wait on making any major, life-altering decisions. Any old habits that inhibit the attainment of your ideals must be dropped; be careful, however, not to give up on long-term efforts and commitments just because you are running into difficulties.

just the kiitythougths for this holiday season...

Lah lah laa la lah...

There is something wonderful about being able to add music to your world and the link between body, mind voice & health is still being explored.

So sing out loud...

let it snow...

it's snowing here...
big soft fluffy flakes of snow that is settling on the trees and mountains looking lovely.

been a while....

quite a long while actually
sorry 'bout that...

I changed some things in my life in the past year....
& while major life altering transitions are not always what one expects, things do get better when a required change is made.

As personal life perspective shifted, the professional life did as well & this is a good thing

there has been a re-connection with what really matters and this continues to be life altering

I've found that with the new perspective, those things that were once so very life consuming, to the end of self & relationships, are NOT the items of true importance...

health, spirit, family & home these matter and should never be usurped be replaced by the mundane.

may the end of this year provide blessings & abundance for all

namaste

do you resolve?

I've found that resolutions tend to be left behind quite quickly...

and that is why,
this year,
I joined the creative space...

...

Visit CoachCreativeSpace

...

a supportive & creative group of folks who encourage each other to stretch out and make th art that is in each of us.

my hope
(& mind you this is NOT a resolution!)
is that I will be able to maintain a creative space in every day this year.

and that by doing that
to grow as a person

to grow beyond my job

to expand beyond the confines of the work-a-day world

and to not be limited by the worries that come with both of those.

I'm hoping to be a more balanced human

a more peaceful soul

and a better person.

happy new year

the journey is the thing of it...
may the new year bring you all to where you want to be

or at least to where you should be

travel with joy
travel with interest
travel with the journey as a part of the quest because the destination will find you
