A new year, oh the possibilities. Do you love it? Or maybe it weighs you down because the thought of not accomplishing a “resolution” or goal has left a bad taste?

How about intentions? Perhaps a gentler way to guide your year without any specific goal in mind, but presence. This sits more gracefully with me. My phrase of intention for 2020 is to “Hold Space”. To literally let space be for whatever may come - for people, for opportunities, for rest, for adventure, for spontaneity, even for messiness. I confess, I don’t easily hold space - I like to feel control and enjoy efficiency and productivity. So, opportunities are sometimes missed and resentment can creep in and perfectionism can become my end goal. I expect (hope?) I am not alone in this.
