2017: A Year in Review

What is that quote about the universe laughing when you make plans? Well, let's just say that this post is coming out about ten days later than I'd like. That comes down to a number of reasons, but the big one was the worst, most raging sinus infection I've had in years. It obliterated me. I was actually rather impressed. Still, I soldier on. At the same time as my infection, I've taken on a new position (more on that below), so my other projects are moving a bit slower at present. I look forward to that changing soon. Add in a family emergency all in the last two weeks, and you get a recipe for late posting. So, without further ado...

2017: The Year in Review

Another year come and gone. Remarkable, isn't it? I remember this time last year when we were all wishing 2016 good riddance. There was a distinct unity to our discontent. Celebrity deaths took too many beloveds. The presidential election threw just about everyone. People were just...unhappy with life. When the wheel turned, more than a few lifted a middle finger to '16, myself included.

This year, it's a little different. Some people were ready to give 2017 the old boot. While I had my own concerns regarding this year (not the least of which being that sinus infection I mentioned above), I found that it was decidedly better than 2016. So I nod more fond farewells at this turn of the year than sour ones.

...And there were definite farewells. Did you know the Death card of the tarot doesn't actually mean "death"? It actually means change, that concept that when we shuffle off the mortal coil, we are actually just making a change of venue, of scenery (actually that's a very loose definition, but you get the idea). And this was such a year of change: upheavals to be sure, but what those sharp lurches created were moments of true inspiration, motivation, and focus. All things being equal, I view it like that card. Letting go of certain things so that other things could flourish.

Here are the highlights:

Inspiration Quote Tuesday: In the direction of those dreams...

Hello!

So, you may have noticed some quotes popping up on here, Facebook, Twitter, etc. I've been testing the waters, so-to-speak, and decided to create a sort of program...

...okay, it's really just quotes.

See, I'm a quote person. The ones that really speak to me have kept me going through those "hit-the-wall" moments we all get. They are the ones that keep me inspired, passionate...and, well, get me off the couch. Which is hard when you like Netflix...and chips.

So, I'm sharing quotes, that is. Each week, I'll post a quote for helping keep ourselves inspired and on track. You'll see a bit of a pattern emerge as we go along (mostly along the lines of "yay, goals and dreams!"). I'll even throw some of my own thoughts in along with it, and open things up to discussion here and other social media. Simple, yes?

Oh, and here's the fun part: you can join in. Yep. I want to hear from you...because hearing other people's dreams, how people choose to express themselves and fulfill their destiny, also keeps me going. So, comment below each post to share your reactions, dreams & goals, and some of your favorite quotes. I'll bet we share some of the same!

Without further ado then, I present Mr. Henry David Thoreau, one of my earliest inspirations:

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams!
Live the life you've imagined"
~Henry David Thoreau

No, seriously. Live it.

Inspiration Quote Tuesday: To Fulfill our Destiny...

"Dreams are part of our heart and soul. Our dreams go to the depth
of our thoughts, wants, and needs to fulfill our destiny.
In order to fulfill our destiny, we must fulfill our dreams."
~J.R. Davis

The Burn is over, and I can already tell the difference. Energy and drive to continue with my dreams and help others fulfill theirs is one of the greatest gifts the Playa can give. What kinds of dreams would you like to fulfill? What's your destiny?
