from Martha

In this Holiday season, I think it's best that we hear from our beloved Martha Stewart ... serving time for what so many have done and are doing. She, however, got caught.

Martha ... what do you have to share?

And maybe, just maybe, I actually got the html link code right this time!!??

Update:
Nope, I didn't get it right the first time! Last time I forgot the (") and this time I forgot the (=). Third times the charm right?

HTML is such a dirty little language!

Reflections and Projections

So, I've been thinking … yes, this is something I can do now that my semester is over … what is 2005 going to be about?

Some things were stirred up in my men's group the other night … some thoughts now whirling around in my head about lessons learned in 2004 and the things I want to create in 2005.

All in all, I feel pretty great. I look back at this year and have nothing to complain about. I think I carried myself more wholly than ever before. I made a lot of what I wanted to happen, happen:

I ended a long-term relationship with style and grace.
I developed new, loving friendships.
I got accepted into school and did a kick-ass job my first semester.
I intentionally built cohesion and unity among my classmates.
I began visioning and preparing for the home that will meet all my needs.
I created the job situation I wanted while in school.
I embarked on many adventures of the body, mind and spirit.
I challenged myself emotionally, physically and mentally.
I grew.
I accepted my faults and failures.
I stood up for myself when it counted most.
I loved.
I danced.
I stuck to the path that I laid before myself … the path that I wanted for myself.
I healed myself.
I loved myself.

So what's in store for ‘05?

Well, there are a number of things I want.

I am going to live more freely - less inhibited, less self-limited.
I am going to create possibility for myself to have what I want and help others have what they want.
I am going to take care of my friends, family and the planet as best I can.
I am going to continue to kick-ass in school and pave the way for the career that will allow me to help others create the change they want.
I am going to love, laugh and live deeply.
I am going to break down more walls.
I am going to speak more effectively and act more fluidly.
I am going my body to be in the best shape of my life.
I am going to sink into deeper relationships with those I love.
I am going to drum again.
I am going to stop obsessing about money and stop worrying about not having enough.
I am going to heal people.
I am going to lead people.
I am going to bring people together.

And I think all that just scratches the surface.

This year is about stepping into my greatness and laying the tracks for what I want in my life .... living in possibility and with less self-limitation ... enjoying the greater gifts in life and worrying less about the day-to-day details.

I'm trusting you to help keep me on target.
