Happy New You!!!




Are you ready for a new beginning?  A new year?  A new you, perhaps? I wonder what this year will bring.  We are like the empty bottles in that top photo...waiting to be filled up.  How will you fill your bottle?  Be mindful as you think about that.

And like that simple glass of water...be clear in your thoughts.  Clarity is wonderful.

Anyway...

What a year 2011 was. New beginnings, sad endings, but overall many important lessons to have learned. Believe was my word...and as I said before...it was so powerful.  I do believe now.  I believe in miracles, I believe in myself, I believe that if you want something bad enough you will get it.  But I had to really learn that lesson...I had to own it.  And I owned that word.  And it was good for me.

*sigh*

So now in a few hours 2012 will bestow itself on us...and I will close 2011 with a happy heart.  And no regrets.

And so my word in 2012 is SOAR.  I am ready.  I have been standing on the edge of the cliff...I am ready to jump off and see what becomes of me.  I really have nothing to fear. Is there a such thing as failure?  I don't think so. So like this paper white flower ready to bloom, I too await the emergence of what will become this year.

I wish you all a beautiful new beginning and year filled with miracles, magic and blessings.

xoxo

Happy New Years, Caroline! I really like the idea of a "word". I love that you found so many ways to believe in the past year. I am going to think hard about the word I will be meditating on in the year ahead. I wish you all the best, and look forward to watching you soar in the year ahead! xo

A perfect word, and I have no doubt that you will own it. I can't wait to see where the year takes you.

Happy New Year.
You Sound happy and peaceful, the best time to unfold those wings and see what happens. I haven't done a 'word' before, so I'm not quite sure what I'm doing. I Believe I'll get the hang of it though. I'll be using your old word, as it is new for me.

Your "happy new you" hits home with me since my word of the year is "renew." I think your word is just perfect for you. I've seen you evolve over the past few years and I think you're ready to soar to new heights, too! Here's to a new year and to all of the possibilities it holds for you.

Caroline! I have missed you. Somehow I lost track of you for a while, along with a lot of other bloggers. But today I've been thinking about how two years ago after reading your blog I chose a word that helped me SO much throughout the year. Then last year, for some reason, I never ended up choosing a word. What a difference.

So then I googled "constantly evolving" and there you were again. Thinking about it though, I have seen you on Pinterest.

Happy New Year. I can't wait to see your different ways of SOARing.

Caroline, after careful debate, my new word for 2012 is EARNEST.

And how interesting.. the title of your post Happy New You! are the exact words i wrote on a work easel today! Ha!

Happy (belated) New Year, sweet Caroline.
The year is young, and so much has happened for you already! That word had some serious flower power for you.
My word is still trying to find me. :)
