Thanks so much and I always love seeing what you are up to. I enjoyed Susannah Conways Unraveling when I took it several years ago. She also did a journaling course that i had fun with.

I've just recently began thinking about all of my life as "practice". That has much explaining behind it, but I'll just let it go there. I don't set resolutions, or choose words and that way I'm more open to where God leads.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738013703083011762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346935990049787898.post-48384793279518057322016-01-15T10:17:16.647-05:002016-01-15T10:17:16.647-05:00Yes, I feel just the same about 2015!

It sounds good at the moment we proclaim the goal, and despite the journey, unless it ended exactly as we initially painted in our head, we quickly classify it a failure. You have grown and inspired more over the past year than you can appreciate and I have no doubt you will<br />rock 2016 as well.Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236806773789677957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346935990049787898.post-47007520606791848522016-01-07T17:36:37.807-05:002016-01-07T17:36:37.807-05:00Always enjoy reading your thoughts.

This life is a blessing and there is so much goodness - and maybe we really are already good enough. I prefer a direction to a specific goal, and I hope this strategy will serve you well. I'm participating in an online book club, and the first book is by CS Lewis - The Weight of Glory. Enjoying it immensely. Love your self portraits, especially the one of your hand writing!
