Joy-filled greetings!
As you may recall from my last newsletter, I found a renewed sense of meaning and joy in the holiday and solstice season; and I've managed to maintain it, too!
As I'm writing this, I've just come home from yet another food errand. With so many special dinners and my son home visiting from college, there has been a lot of shopping!
I could have been driving around tensed up and tired, right? You know what I'm talking about. But instead, I was reflecting on the warm, friendly conversations I struck up with strangers in the stores, and how, at our core, we're all good and all the same. Everyone just wants love and to feel good.

As I was leaving the farm near our home to buy our farm fresh, raw milk and baked bread, I was thinking about how much I appreciate and really love the man who owns and is so committed to that farm and its cows.
And that led me to reflect on all the beautiful, amazing people in my life that I admire and enjoy so much. My family, my friends, my coaching clients and my various group and class participants. They all have such huge hearts and huge desires; and I am so grateful to be a part of their lives.
Then there's the woman with the huge, friendly smile who greets me at the bank every time; and the super friendly people who work and help me at Whole Foods. I could go on; but you get the point. It's the people in my life that fill me up with the best of feelings, and are my greatest gift.

So if you're reading this, then that also means you. YOU allow me to fulfill my life's purpose and feel fulfilled at the end of each day. YOU keep my faith in the goodness of mankind as I hear the intimate details and desires of your life. YOU fill my heart with love and joy; and I thank you, thank you, thank you.
It's so easy to say, “Of course I appreciate the people in my life!” But how often do you really take the time to sink into those thoughts and really feel that love and appreciation until you're filled up with good feelings that can take you through the day?

As you reflect on your New Year and all that you've accomplished, acquired, and all that you did, I encourage you to include the most important part of it all – the people in your life; and let your heart fill up as much as it can. Go beyond what we typically call good or best friends. Who are all the people in your daily life who contribute to it in positive ways? It wouldn't be the same without them.
I hope you've been having a wonderful holiday season; and my heartfelt wishes to you for a New Year filled with inner peace, love, ease and joy, with plenty of laughter and fun! I hope you'll join me in some of what I have planned for you to support you in creating and living your best life and being your best self!
Supporting you in greater ease and joy, with a warm heart,
Ann
