I've been playing with a new blog since the new year although it has not been online.  Yesterday, I activated it with the idea that I will write on it for a year.  I'm moving from Blogger to Wordpress mostly because I've always admired how Wordpress blogs look; however, the reason that it has taken me so long to make this move is that I don't quite understand enough about how Wordpress works to make the blog visually satisfying to me.  And so, I am taking the plunge.  I may be back if I cannot make this work.

Resolutions, intentions and a motto

A first stab at 2014 intentions.  They’ve been in my head for a few days now so they belong more to December than January.  Later revisions, of course, will be totally of the new year.

Motto for 2014:  Thrive where you are planted.  This is an old motto that I used when I was challenged by place.  It is time that challenges me now -- although not as much as it has -- and I want to pay full attention to living this very day completely.

Resolutions:

breathe & be gentle

sit each day

give more, expect less

awaken

indulge the body

love

invite passion, inspiration & kindred spirits

read

write

dream 

knit
make art

ask for help

have no fear
integrate dualities
