I can't quite believe the year is almost over. Where did 2010 go? Only a few hours to go. Faster and faster time goes, it seems. But as fast as it's gone, the last decade has brought deep change in how I see myself, how I relate to the world, my priorities and how I feel about my responsibility in being on this planet.
When I ask, "Who do I want to be in the world?" It's not so much the "who do I want to be" that has changed but the how. How do I want to express the best and most loving, creative version of myself.
Do you see yourself differently in the world than you did 10 years ago?
Have your priorities shifted?
Who do you want to be in the world in the next 10 years???

I hope your new year and your "New Years"
Are filled with many miracles.
"People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle.
But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air,
but to walk on earth.
Every day we are engaged in a miracle
which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves,
the black curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes.
All is a miracle."

Such a wonderful painting. You are really gifted. A Happy New Year to you, Inge
I can't believe a decade has passed in the new century. Just be. That is my goal for the New Year.
Your painting is remarkable -- such talent!
No new goals as such -- just trying to evolve!
Such a beautiful painting! Happy New Year!
