Happy New Year!!!

Something good will happen...by Shari Sherman© 2010


It is time to Be Brave.

It's about 5:00 a.m. here in chilly Florida and I'm quietly jumping about the room, so as to not wake up the other members of the family. The dog is totally into it though!
I woke up this morning to a lovely little email from Kathy of The Brave Girls Club, so sweetly letting me know that my birdie and I would be the featured artist of the day on The Daily Truth.
I can only begin to tell you how amazing these women are and what they do, so just go on over and check them out if you don't already know.

I am just thrilled...THRILLED... because it is New Year's Eve Day!
(Dear Universe, I am not missing the significance of this.)
IT IS TIME.

If you read my post from yesterday, you know that I lost a day. And remember where I said, the day before I was being so productive.....well, one of the things I did was submit this little birdie! I don't even want to say how long I have been putting it off, letting other things get in the way, and just procrastinating on something as simple as submitting a little bird. Well, it was on my list of things to do before the clock strikes 12:00 and I finally got it done on Tuesday....or was it Wednesday?  Anyway, I got it done...finally.

And Whoop, there it is!!

I have been on the fence about signing up for the Brave Girls' Soul Restoration online course. In my heart I know this is the step I'm supposed to take, but I was rolling it around, not fully committing, and doubting, asking myself...is it the right time, maybe NEXT TIME would be better. I have been foolishly debating about it because I didn't sign up in time to get the supplies included in the fee. Oh, the fee, that's another one. These are reasons that stem from lack and fear and doubt.
Why am I letting these things stop me...again?  Why am I holding back from my dreams?

Well, I guess I'm going find out or I'm gonna blast through them or I'm simply going to take off.
Today, this little bird inspired me to commit. I'm going to sign up for Soul Restoration (hopefully later today-- I already put the little blinkie on my blog to hold myself accountable).

I'm feeling so inspired! Maybe you'll join me?  Let me know if you do!

Whatever you're wanting to take on and accomplish for this Happy New Year, let it soak right into your soul, and then
Be Brave.

Happy New Year!

I lost a day!

I don't know how it happened, but I lost a day! I went to bed last night and woke up this morning thinking that today would be Wednesday! I checked in with Jamie Ridler to see what the Wish for today would be and was quite surprised to see so many people had already posted and it is only a bit past 7 a.m.

Hmmmmm.....as my brain was warming up, I realized everyone posted yesterday!! Today is Thursday! OMG, I'm a little bit freaked out. And the most hilarious thing is yesterday I was seriously cruising along thinking about how productive and on track I was being.  I CRACK myself UP!

Well, yesterday the wish was "What do you wish for the New Year?"

I have my wish list in progress and I'll share that with you over the course of the next few days. I have my goals and resolutions and wishes all wrapped into one master list that Santa would be proud of. The kids get to make their lists at the beginning of the month of all the joyful things that would light up their lives. But the end of the month is for us. It's the time when we get to write out our wish lists of what we want the New Year to bring. I just love the air of possibility and optimism.

This is going to be MY year!

So stay tuned for my wish list....but for now what I wish for the new year is...

Happiness!

For the year to be filled with happy friends and family times and artsy success, not so many challenges...an Easy Year!

May all of our New Year's wishes come true!

(still can't believe I lost a day!)
