Happy New Year!

I'm making a bold proclamation today, to you before anyone else, and saying that I'm going to make 2016 my BEST year yet -- in business, in life, in love.

When we make bold proclamations, it sets things in motion. Unseen things that start to move in accordance with our desires and visions. But, we first have to be so brave as to say (out loud, on paper, in type) that which we desire!

Before I share, I first want to set the tone with one of my favorite quotes: "Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."

OK, here goes...

I'm going to offer my gifts unapologetically.

I'm going to strive for nothing less than the best I can deliver (and when I say this, I'm not talking about perfection, I'm talking about authenticity.)

I'm going to relax into my innate power and ease into the flow of life, rather than fight the current.

I'm going to align with the vivid vision I have for my life and business, and allow it to pull me forward.

I'm going to let go of obsessing about things that are beyond my control, don't matter or don't enhance my life.

I'm going to do more of what I love and attach less to the outcome.

I'm going to be more me and less who I think I should be.

I'm going to breathe, feel, and enjoy MORE.

I'm going to stress, push and harden less (and not beat myself up when I inevitably slip up.)

I'm going to do more things that sounds like fun in my life and business.

I'm going to honor creative ideas when they arrive in my life.

I'm going to smile more, kiss my husband more, hug my baby girl more, and laugh more.

And, I'm going to do my best to live each day in devotion to my purpose.

#BoldnessHasMagicInIt

Now, it's your turn :-)

I invite you to join me in making a bold proclamation for yourself. In community with the other amazing, purpose-driven women in our private Facebook group, share one thing you're going to do (or stop doing!) in 2016 to make it YOUR best year yet. Make your bold proclamation HERE with #boldnesshasmagicinit.

This day, this month, this year is the start of a bold, brilliant new chapter, and I'm delighted to have YOU along for this unbelievable journey which has brought us together.

In case you're wondering, the title of this post was inspired by two things:

(1) The book, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear, by Elizabeth Gilbert, bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love -- recently finished reading it. LOVED it. (Fun Fact: EG lives not far from me and has a quirky shop filled with a unique gifts and global finds.)

(2) The Vivid Vision Workbook + Audio Guide which will enable you to craft a deep, fulfilling, aligned vision for your life and business that will PULL you forward this year. Get your copy here.

Here's to BIG Magic and VIVID Visions, this year and always.

With love,

Happy Holidays to you, dear friend!

Take a moment, right now, to reflect on all the wonderful things that found their way to you over the past year. (I bet there are thousands.)

Think of the lessons you learned, the unexpected opportunities that came your way and the people you met who changed your life for the better.

Think about the things you created, the experiences that enriched you and the beautiful things you learned about yourself.

Whether this year was your best yet, felt like a stumbling block or was the starting point of something new, I know, without a doubt, that it delivered you the precise lessons, people and insights that you needed.

**Trust the timing of your life.** Trust that it's unfolding just as it's supposed to.

For the first time since August of 2012 (when this message went out to just 65 people!), I am doing something I've never done before -- well actually 2 things I've never done before.

First, I'm sharing a special holiday message with you in song. I love singing and was always a part of singing groups, choirs and a cappella groups when I was growing up, but **it's something I've never shared with you.**

And, the second thing, this will be the last time you hear from me.......until 2016. After this greeting reaches you, I encourage you (just as I will be doing) to take some time off from your habitual to-dos to savor the splendidness of the holidays. Check your emails a little less, put your phone on silent (or turn it off!), let your to-do list sit for a few days, and simply enjoy this lovely season. Give yourself that gift. (And, we'll resume our weekly interludes on Wednesday, January 6th.)

Listen to your special holiday message below.

Download your Numbered Guide to Gratitude here. It will only take you a few minutes to complete and will enable you to clearly see the profound gifts, opportunities and lessons that 2015 offered you.

Then, when we return in 2016, you and I will be ready to get started because we'll have replenished ourselves. At that point, if you want to create your clear and thoughtful roadmap to success, let's chat.

Sending you love + wishes for a joyous holiday season!
