    New Year’s Reflection

    January 4, 2012 / 7 Comments

    I enjoyed using Andrea’s form to reflect on the past year. In an effort to make myself more vulnerable, I thought I would share my reflections with you:

    What did you create?

    • A fun baby shower bowling party
    • A fun birthday brunch

    (As a process note, that’s part of how I generate my intentions for each month. I look back at my intentions for the whole year and pick and choose things to tackle each month.)

    So, I’m kind of scared to look back at October. But that’s why I do this, right? It increases my accountability to myself.

    Here we go:
