Happy New Year! I'm back at work after two lovely long weeks of rest, doing nothing, family time, and eating lots of yummy treats.

I'm still coming out of the cave. In fact, most of my sites are still in malware hell. I've migrated all the sites to a new host who have been great at communicating with me. They're in process with cleaning up my sites and helping me protect them against future malware and other online baddies.

I spent the last few days of the year day-dreaming for 2015.

As I looked ahead into the year, I felt that the first few months of the year were quiet compared to what I have in store for later in the year. I feel I'm still in the quiet of winter, wanting to hunker down, edit my latest novel (super content about doing that), preparing for my next print project, prep my next online course, and basically, nurture the creative soul without the intensity of creating something absolutely new. That will come later in the year! 

I don't want to rush into the new. I want to meander into it and savor what I've created.

I want to protect the growing new stories and projects, keeping them out of the gaze of world, for now. 

I'm also open to the newness of the year, stepping out of my comfort zone in small ways, playing with new online tools, making plans to meet new people and learn new things.

I have one foot in the past, reflecting and cleaning up (sites, manuscripts, my apartment!), and also pulling in the new vision for the year. I am hopeful, curious, and taking it one small step at a time.

How are you approaching the new year?

You can also share your reflections on Facebook, where I share my phrase for the year: "Powered By Love".
