Every year I choose a theme that helps me focus on the important things I am learning.  I am just wrapping up a year of Letting Go and it was a well-chosen theme for 2011. My son moved out, my daughter got married, and I went back to the corporate world just to name a few things.  Along the way, I did a lot of reflecting and reading on the topic of Letting Go. I used a great book by Melody Beattie called The Language of Letting Go that helped me focus on the things I needed to work on.

Near the end of the year I started to desire to figure out what I wanted in my life now that I have let go of so much!  As I thought about it the theme ‘All About Me’ emerged.  I’ve decided to really focus on what I want in my life. What do I believe at this stage?  Where am I spiritually?  What about career goals?  I’ll graduate this year and that will free up some time to pursue other interests. What do I want to pursue?

I am looking forward to 2012 and my new theme!
