I have certainly cleaned up my home a lot lately, by giving away the good stuff and backyard burning other stuff. Who knew such personal ownership and responsibility could bring such joy?!

Bord Wed, 30 Dec 2009 15:04:20 +0000 https://theboldlife.com/?p=1873#comment-3372 2009 was a transformational year, to be sure. I left a good job to follow a dream. I overcame an addiction that wanted to get the best of me (and a few times, I almost let it!). I learned how to partner with not only others, but also with myself, and in the process have met some incredible people who have lifted me even higher than I ever dreamed possible. I've softened my mind and let my heart shine. I've embraced LOVE as a way of life --- a palpable, affirming, "breathe-it-in-and-breathe-it-out" energy --- as opposed to something that's given or received. Love always IS, and I know what that looks and feels like in my life now. I've befriended and learned from amazing folks like you, Tess, and seen myself in many new lights as a result. With gratitude, I bow to you, and wish you a loving, happy, and healthy new year. .-= Megan "JoyGirl!"

I am most proud of my growth as a father. I relish the time I have alone with my 5 month old son. When I first took care of him I was scared. I wanted my wife to take over. But as our relationship has grown I've learned to be a better listener and figure out his needs. Now I almost always know when he is upset and how to make him feel better. As for business. Joining in a alliance with other bloggers has been amazing. They encourage, push, and give me so many great ideas. I feel so lucky to be a part of this special group. I know my blog is taking off and each day I am able to help more people.

It is a great exercise! Then I wrote a list of what I want for 2010, in the present tense, as if it is happening now. I love doing things like this and then looking back to see what really did manifest. For me in 2010, trying out for that TV show was a highlight!

That is the most extensive list of questions I've seen in a long time! I'm sure I've asked myself those questions in my daily journaling but more over the course of the year than all at once. Long lists of questions bring me back to test fears - haha! I am grateful for the blogosphere as I reflect back on 2009 - it's been great fun. And thank you for being a dazzling bright star in the sphere! Hoping 2010 brings you glittering opportunities infused with peace and serenity. Hugs suZen Hi Tess!
