A personal note from Sylvia

When we wish to begin something new, in order to create space for it to evolve, we customarily either complete or stop doing another unfinished project.

Despite whether we are ready for the change or not, at a specific moment, the kitchen clock will tick past midnight and announce the New Year has begun. All we are familiar with is now in the past and just like every dawn we begin a new chapter.

The new calendar will grace the space where last year’s calendar hung.

A brief nostalgic sigh, out with the old and in with the new!

Traditionally many make New Year’s resolutions. They are often based on the disappointments of the past or looking to the future and calling for greater faith and responsible choices to contribute to personal growth and maturity.

I’m a dreamer. I hold space for the next step forward to emotional, intellectual wisdom, and spiritual maturity (refinement). I hold the vision, and similar to tiny droplets of water furrowing the rock, change begins to happen.

Jacob Riis (1849–1914) a journalist and social reformer, wrote:

"Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times, without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow, it will split in two, and in that moment, I know, it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before."

Hold faith dear friends, many have been through and many are still going through uncertain times. Make your New Year goal a statement-of-purpose, hold it in your heart. Not everyone shares your dream or passion. We each have a life path calling, hold yours in your heart till you feel it is safe to share your dream or resolution with another.

With blessings for the coming year.

From my heart to yours I send you love.
