This is my year of yes. I am saying yes to ME. For those who have not read, The Year of Yes, by Shonda Rhimes, you should. It will help you to be your own person.
There have been big changes in my life in 2018. Some good, some not so good. I am still trying to find the new "normal." Not sure there ever was a "normal" in my life, but there sure isn't one anymore.
Finding my forever home was a dream come true. I have tons of unpacking and sorting yet to do. I still have walls to paint and paintings to hang. I have an alcove to create, an office to put together and then there is work outside. Because I am not a hedge person. I am tearing out hedges at the end of my driveway and along the road to plant lilacs. At the beginning of the driveway I am repurposing an old tractor tire in the yard to make a flower bed. I am having a sign painted for the post out front. I am tearing out the hedge in front of the house and planting a three season flower bed. I am planting lily of the valley. I am moving my passion plant so it can grow and climb, but not onto my deck where it will get crushed. My fire pit is in the wrong place and will be moved. I have dead and downed trees to cut up for fire pit wood. I am creating an arts and crafts room in my barn. Can't wait. My kiln is just waiting for me to do some glass fusing.
But I have a couple of New Year's Resolutions. They are quite simple. 1) I am going to reinstate the art of letter writing. I love to write letters and I love to receive them. So, watch your mail boxes. You never know when one might appear. 2) I am focusing on my two businesses. I am sitting with my publisher to make a five year plan for my books. Those waiting for Macy book 4 have a year more to wait. Anything I write in 2019 will not see publication before 2020. It's all good. I am also writing a five year plan for my coaching business. It will include mastering landing pages and setting up an on-line store. There is much more, but I have to start somewhere. I am also looking for more speaking/book signing events.
Those are resolutions which work themselves into my year of yes. My first signing could come as soon as early April in Florida. You will see things happening on this blog. You will see things happening on Facebook, Periscope, and YouTube. Don't be surprised to see me doing telesumits. Where I have someone else on my live streams. Keep your eye tuned here for the action.
I also have awesome family events this year. I will be a great grandmother in March. My youngest grandson will graduate in June and leave for Eastern Michigan University in the fall. He will be in the honors program studying education, math and social science. For those who don't know EMU is my alma mater. My Bachelor's Degree is from there. My granddaughter is thinking of coming to spend part of her spring break with me.
Life is moving in the right direction. So, state tuned for updates. They will come more frequently than in the past.
Happy New Year everyone. May 2019 bring you peace, joy, happiness, and prosperity.
