Wrapping Up a Year

Portrait of a Happy Crow

Portrait of a Happy Crow

Gift wrapping. It is the time of year where we are all thinking of wrapping presents, the anticipation of gifting and receiving, and sharing meals with those we love. I am wrapping 2017 and gifting it to the past so I can receive the gift of the present fully. This year I saw some of my pets leave, the birth of my granddaughter, a five year project come to fruition, appeared on my favorite television show, and shared tears and laughter with family and friends. Much more than that happened of course and I am grateful. I am especially grateful of making a living with my creativity for the last four decades. We tend to reflect when we come upon life markers, births, birthdays, losing someone dear, anniversaries, and the conclusion of a year. What is working for us? What isn’t working for us? Do we have the wisdom and courage to evolve healthily? I am wrapping this year and offering it’s ashes to the wind and breathing in the fresh air of the now. Thank you for being here.
