This holiday season, has been such a whirlwind...and I really enjoyed every bit of it! It just comes and goes all too quickly. And while I was busy on the home front making sure that every little thing was festive and bright for family and friends, I was not able to focus on anything related to the coming of a New Year...2018!
In the past I have chosen a word that reflected my spirit at the time the New Year rolled around. I'm not big on resolutions, but a word to guide me throughout the year has been a somewhat grounding force. This year, a word did not present itself to me, leading me into a bit of a fog...like this old photograph I took years ago.
I was out and about in the frigid temps of the northeast freeze on New Year's day running the dog around through the woods, and really tuning into the quiet stillness that Mother Nature provided for the day. I was tapped into the natural sounds of the creaking trees as they blew in the high winds, for that day the Native Spirit oracle card that chose me was ANCIENT FOREST.
SOAR
That is my entire purpose...to SOAR! Each and every day, I have opportunities, and many choices. I have many new ideas and projects on the horizon that will allow me to do just that!!!

And there it is...I will reach...and I will achieve...and I will fulfill all the many dreams that have not been allowed to come to fruition because of the detours and distractions that take place when I am not paying attention to my soul!
With Love and Peace and Great JOY in abundance to one and all!
That's an awesome word for 2018! Happy New Year!

DeleteI like the idea of a word to guide you throughout the year. Soar is a fantastic word - my wish is that your soar to great heights!
ReplyDeletei LOVE the word soar, and what you have done with it. i would love to swap a washcloth for a bar of soap, if you would still like to. you have "no reply" on your comments so i was not able to send you an email. my email is stangs6@hotmail.com. let me know!!
ReplyDeletethank you for the kind comment about my home. those pictures are so old and i have update some things. i need to update those pictures. my husband built the house, we were only 23 when we built it!!
DeleteI sent you an email with my address for a swap...and a list of the different soaps to choose from! Just let me know...
DeleteThanks for stopping by Kim's County Line. I wanted to "meet" you in your space, too. I love your photos and your commitment to SOAR in the coming year. (My daughter thinks I need to take that Organize goal to heart, too. I know she's right, but I can always find other things to do - like read, write, take photos ... I'm sure you get the idea!) Nice to "meet" you!
ReplyDeleteThe fog looks interesting because one wonders what is beyond.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my blog :)
I am glad that you find solace in Mother Nature. There is nothing quite so peaceful as a walk in the woods. I hope you remain steadfast to your commitment to SOAR.

ReplyDeleteI also don't make any resolutions and huge plans for New Year, I just want to make my dreams come true. And I want to reach a success. But I'm working on it for some time. I just decided and started making it! :)
