New Year, New Moon

I love the freshness of a new start.

And there's no new start like a New Year.

But when a New Year is followed by a New Moon on a Sunday (my favorite day to take time to reflect and set new patterns), it feels like the best time to start anew.

This New Moon for me is in my 3rd House which governs communication (astrology nerd-alert!). One of my goals this year is to improve my writing and editing skills so I thought this would be a good time to initiate a project to do just that. Like most things, the only way to do improve a skill is to do it, over and over again.

So I'm giving myself the writing challenge this year to publish a blog on here every day.

The rules are simple. Each blog post needs three things:

• A picture or image

• A title

• A sentence

Plus, it needs to reflect upon some aspect of living life on the Upward Spiral. For me that can mean many different things. My intention is to explore all the different ways I try to do that for myself and with my clients.

Here’s the hard truth: Some posts will be mediocre. Some might be down right "bad." But that's part of the deal. So I guess I'd say part of living on the upward spiral means accepting all the bumps in the road instead of thinking they are road blocks. The trick is always to keep going.

What are you initiating for yourself right now with this new year, new moon, or new moment (because you know you don't need a particular time of the calendar or moon phase to begin anything that you really want to do, right?)?

Leave me a comment below. I always love hearing about your Upward Spiral too.
