Living In the Moment

Photo Credit: (Pinterest) Shabby Art Boutique  Happy New Year!  Wishing all of you only the best in 2019.  I am  hoping these upcoming months will be ones of change and growth for all of us. Letting things go that no longer serve us. Knowing your worth.  Speaking your truth.  I am focusing on going back to basics. Taking a step back. Yes, Learning the basics teaches us a strong foundation in any area but at times we need to realize we need to revisit this space. To refuel. To move forward. To become whole. To find your own balance.  I plan to bring back more of my love of music, photography, and poetry back to my blog.  Visit with family and friends that I love.  Find my niche in a few different areas of my life.  How will you change and grow this year?

Original Self Portrait by Kristine / Diana App A New Year's Letter ... A New Year has always been a way of starting fresh ... Leaving the previous year behind ... The highest of highs, the lowest of lows, and everything in between ... There were many moments of uncertainty and fear last year for our family and then came the ultimate joys that we were so grateful for! Spending New Years Day with my family confirmed we made it through the storm. Each New Year I try to set a few intentions. I do not like to look at them as resolutions. Ideas that I will look forward to. Perhaps trying something new or as simple as visiting a new destination. These excursions usually bring photography and writing possibilities along with them. I tend to think of enjoyment attached to learning so anything else that unfolds is just a true bonus!  A New Year - 12 Full Months - Being Served Up - For Us To Choose How To Fill Our Days ...
