My New Year Irresolution

At Mind Key we focus on finding our inner strength and peace.  As members we rely on a small voice that calls us to determine our true destiny and to reach our highest potential.  To do so it takes practice, patience, and enlightenment. 

Focusing on new milestones is something we often do at the end of a year.  As the holidays approach and we ready ourselves for 2016, we’re faced with the future.  Where will our hearts take us?  Will we find the right path?  Will we conquer our fears and accomplish what we were created to do?  Sometimes the answer to those questions comes in the form of resolutions, a common practice when confronting a new year.

As for me, I call mine ‘New Year Irresolution’.

When I was a kid I thought of the end of a year as a rather sad event.  My reluctance to meet a new year mirrored my thoughts and feelings in regards to ‘letting go’.  When I was five years old, I cried for an entire day when my parents forced me to get rid of a pair of shoes I had outgrown.  I became so attached to things, to people, that they became part of me. Saying goodbye to those things, just like an entire year, was like tearing away a part of my heart. 

As I grew older, I began to embrace the New Year with a new aspect, joining the ‘adult bandwagon of New Year resolutions.”  It was those new resolutions that gave me strength and hope in what waited ahead.  It wasn’t so hard to say goodbye to the past when you had something on the hook for the future.


Now, as a writer, wife, and mother, I see the timeline of my existence as something more than a New Year resolution.  I’ve come to realize that time is precious not because the past is gone for good, but because we get to decide how to face the future, whatever it brings, and whether it’s the middle of June or a day shy of ringing in a new year.   […CONTINUE READING HERE]
