It’s that time of year again. Resolutions, intentions.<\/p>\n

Here’s mine..rhythm<\/strong><\/em> (gosh my first challenge is to spell it right!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

We began the rhythm by sitting round a wreath of white<\/em> candles (ushering in the new…) and each of declaring a wish for the year (resolution is just too <\/em>hard a word for a 3 and 4 year old!).<\/p>\n

I wrote the wishes down and have put them on the fridge door…<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Fun, love, rhythm, specialness (of the kind you feel on your birthday!) and whole-hearted living.<\/p>\n

Oh, and I am back to my daily rhythm of morning pages…anyone else starting or still keeping going with this?\u00a0 And I will start my green smoothies again tomorrow – I have missed them.<\/p>\n

2010 has so much to celebrate and acknowledge for me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Artistically, major mosaic commissions, my first solo exhibition, mosaic classes that were joyfully full all year and already full to bursting for the first 4 months of 2011. A deep sense of consolidation and confidence in\u00a0 my skill and instinct as a mosaic artist. A\u00a0 feeling of arrival<\/em> in my transition from being a social work \/ trainer to an artist.<\/p>\n

As a mother, I have managed to stay connected to myself (quite intentionally) so that I can parent from a place of awareness, self-care and knowing. I am proud of this and despite a journey full of struggles and obstacles, I feel I can pat myself on the back for how I am doing as a parent. I…we…are doing WELL. There is ease in being a parent, a mother, a family…like a comfy pair of shoes, no longer new and rubbing and causing blisters!<\/p>\n

The ups and downs continue in the midst of the goodness – a broken night of sleep last night and the impact that immediately has on my mood – the feeling of overwhelm – the need to learn to manage stressy feelings better,\u00a0 to slow down and pace life in a more healthy way.<\/p>\n

2011. Time to enJOY and have fun. To get back into music, reading, sewing. To manage my time in this glorious blogosphere, so that it is life-giving not depleting. These are some of my\u00a0 challenges of 2011. How about you?<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
