a new year, a fresh start, full of possibilities … i love little rituals like:

choosing a new diary – i loved this blue one from smiggle

checking waters & discovering full dams (a real treat!)

i’ve also been contemplating a word for 2010. instead of making resolutions (which most of us rarely keep), the idea is to choose a word that sums up your intentions for the year. then use that word to keep focussed & on track esp. when you are faced with challenges (as you will be). in the past, i’ve chosen focus (2008) & bloom (2009). this time, i considered focus, aspire, visualize, intention & ended up selecting action. many people have good intentions & focus & visualize, but if you want to achieve your goals, you need to take action. so action will be my mantra for 2010.

• take action to declutter (body + home)
• take action to beautify (home + garden)
• take action to move towards all my goals
