This is a time of year when, like it or not, most of us look back at the past year and do a little reflection, maybe make a top 10 list or a few resolutions. It’s been a big year for me, and yet I’m deliberately ending it where I started it, at Karme Choling in northern Vermont. Over the past year I’ve…
left Boston (again), left a perfectly good job, spent around 6 weeks on retreat and 8 weeks overseas, trained to be a yoga teacher, tried to prioritize my life more wisely, and tried to be a better friend, daughter, sister and community member, and truer to myself. I had the sense that 2008 would be a big year. 2009 portends to be even more interesting.
While so much of the New Year hype is, well, hype, I think it is valuable to sit back and think about what to leave in the previous year and what to cultivate in the new. This is an exercise I will be doing (and probably should be doing daily!) and would recommend highly.
Happy New Year, everyone!
