So am going to do it here... Celebrating 2015
- What did you create? - I created - I find it really hard to look back! OK. I created in 2015 - a course called "declutter your head". Several paintings. A vision board. The circumstances for doing my Art of Creative Living retreat this year. Friendships. The opportunity to do a caoching course. Some Oracle cards. Many many pages in my art journals. Looking back I feel as if 2015 was a preparation year. I am looking forward to MORE creations this year.
- What are you proud of from the last year? - I know this sounds very light - but I am most proud of how I managed the summer holidays. 2014 was awful and we were so at a loss and didn't go away and Hub was working and Bub and I just felt at a total loose end. It was due a lack of planning - which had previously not mattered - somehow in previous years it had all just panned out well despite the lack of planning. Series of fortunate events meant that we did stuff and had fun and had things to do. But 2014 was more like a series of unfortunate events. We missed things, the few plans we did have fell through and we missed being with other people due to these plans... etc etc. But in 2015 I planned it and it worked. For 6 weeks in the summer Bub and I had plans and we did them. We went to Dance Camp East for 9 days of camping with friends. We went to visit my folks. We went to France. It was all super good. It worked and I loved it. I am also proud of the fact that Secret Salad Society got resurected, I feel have made some good new friends in 2015. And created a new network for myself. I have also achieved a good deal of work - certainly in the last 3rd of the year - which has meant I have been busy but not too busy and earned good money. I also investigated coaching training and I have made a decision on which one to do.
- What is there to grieve? Personally I don't feel there was anything to grieve for me. But The War in Syria and the boat refugee crisis is pretty awful. The children drowning and all. And The UK governments decision to bomb as a way to stop terrorism.
- What was hard? - Nothing was really hard. Perhaps that is the only thing to grieve -I didn't do anything that really made me feel as if I had conquered a challenge!
- What was disappointing? as above. I had wanted more progress than I got.
- Where did you grow? I grew in confidence and in terms of knowing the direction I want to take
- How were you brave? I don't really see that I was particularly brave in any respect. I began to ask for the help I need towards the end of the year. Its about acknowledging my needs and asking for them. If that is brave.
- What were the unexpected blessings? Work so that I have money to contribute to our family. A gift of money from my parents to help with house refurbishments (yet to come) My brother being able to come on holiday with us when my husband could not.
