I took this photo this morning, of a gorgeous white chrysanthemum & cedar frond in our low northern winter light. I love the clean feeling of early january, after the christmas things are put away, you can take a big breath and look at the year ahead, and the year behind. I love that feeling of possibility - maybe THIS is the year I'll finally push through this or that really stuck place. I have my own hopes for 2010. There are a few knots in my life I would love to untangle this year. And lots of things I'd like to create and do. I plan to spend some time over the next few days clarifying my intentions and setting them down on paper -- and here, too.
I've made two really pretty pages today: a january calendar page, and a page of new year's journal prompts. These are for all my Artful Life subscribers, and I'll be sending them out on New Year's Eve. I'll make the calendar page available here, too, but if you want the page of new year's journal prompts, just subscribe between now and Jan 1!!
I also want to celebrate the new year with an artful GIVEAWAY. I'll send out a not-just-for-sushi dish to one of you, with love. Just leave a comment on this post, letting me know 1) your name & place 2) why you read the Artful Life and 3) what you'd like to see on this blog in 2010. I'll choose one of you randomly on January 11. Here's the dish, good luck!
**UPDATE** the lucky winner was Sondra of modern marks, congrats, Sondra!!!
