This is a time to reflect on the new cycle that has been set in motion with the Winter Solstice and continues with the New Year celebrations the Earth commemorates. I began a practice 15 years ago of formulating a "theme" each year that I wanted to focus on rather than a new years' resolution. This past year (2011) my theme was "Live Art-fully". I enjoyed creating this blog and posting my own pictures and accompanying thoughts in hopes of inspiring others to create an art-filled life. I created cards with my own art work for the Fall and Spring Equinox and the Summer and Winter Solstice, which I gave out to friends. The theme helped me to see the world around me in a new way. I've had some great themes over the years. Some of my favorite themes were: Living by the Moon; Embracing the Medicine Woman Within; and Living Your Authentic Self. All brought powerful teachings.With the coming year of 2012 many people are aware of a new world which is about to be birthed. Let us dream a beautiful dream together of the world we want to experience and then take action to make it manifest.
