What do you want to do with your one wild and precious life?
In this post, I share how the New Year is unfolding for me and how I'm reflecting on the previous year and setting intentions differently for this year. I also share the inspiration for this post's title and a movie to watch that will make you want to embrace life to the fullest.
Happy New Year to you! I can’t believe it’s the end of January already. On the one hand, the memories of Christmas are still very fresh in my mind. On the other hand, the quiet, relaxing days of my favourite time of year seem a long way away. Do you feel the same?
I’m a reflective person by nature, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve been especially reflective at the start of a New Year. There have been years when I’ve had fun ringing in the New Year at a party, but I’ve always preferred the comfort of my own home as one year passes into the next. This New Year was no different. It’s boring! I know! I’m ok with that though because as I get older, I’m becoming more comfortable embracing what makes me feel good. I hope you are too.
Last year, in January 2023, three wonderful women joined me for IntentionHaus 2023, a reflection and intention-setting retreat that I hosted in a luxury hotel in Orlando, Florida. For 4 days, we reviewed the previous year (2022), re-assesssed our values and needs, restored our bodies, refocused our minds, and kickstarted the year with clear intentions for thriving in 2023. It was a wonderful, nourishing experience, and I will treasure the memory forever.
