Happy New Year!

There has been so much I’ve left unsaid these last few years.  Good stuff.  Awesome stuff.  Sad stuff.  Bad stuff.  Angsty stuff that I have been too [many words could fit in this space] to talk about.  2014 has been a year of ups and downs.  Big ups and big downs.  There are a few bright and sunny spots that stand out to me.  People who lit up my world from the moment they entered it, huge accomplishments in business, new things that have sparked my interest, and some plain old darn good times.  But the flip side has been some crushing disappointments and setbacks, and I have to say to 2014, “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”

A few months ago, I sat around with some of my artist friends, a bunch of “horse people” and we talked about how we all thought 2014 was going to be amazing for us because it was the Year of the Horse.  Should be our year, right?  And yet, it pretty much sucked, across the board, for everyone.  Illness, loss, moving, family troubles, this wasn’t what we’d hoped for.  I surmised that The Year of the Horse was only going to get awesome right at the end, that it was just going to be the kickoff for all the good stuff yet to come.  And you know what, I think that just might be the case.  :-)  May the bright and sunny things that have sparked in the last few months turn into awesome things in the coming year.

I know, I’m vague.  When I’ve neglected to say so many things, I don’t even know where to start.  I’ll try to do better.

  26. That’s a beautifully raw reflection on 2014—honest, hopeful, and deeply relatable. The mix of big highs and crushing lows really captures how unpredictable life can be. I love the idea that The Year of the Horse didn’t quite deliver as expected, but maybe it was just laying the groundwork for something better. FAQ

  28. Wow, it sounds like you've been carrying a lot. It's so relatable, that feeling of having a whole backlog of experiences and emotions just... sitting there. We all do that, right? Especially the past few years, it feels like there's been so much happening, and it's hard to process it all, let alone talk about it.

  30. Ugh, I feel that so hard! I'm constantly losing my keys and phone. It's like they have a secret hiding spot they go to. The idea of my phone actually helping me find them? That would be a game-changer! I'd love to know how that would even work. Imagine, no more frantic searching before leaving the house. That would save so much stress!
