My thoughts are abuzz with visions of the new year. What will it hold? I think over the current year and sigh over the flurry of activity and the blur of busyness from healthcare reform and businesses reeling from the recession. My mind wanders to the people that I met in Africa a few years ago and the women that have read my books in India and around the world.
I think of the awesome opportunity that I had to meet the branding crew for Oprah Winfrey and the two near chances that I had to be on her show.
My mind journeys to the diversity groups that I've presented to this year and the single mom from one speech that cried when she asked how to get it all done without feeling guilty.
What a super wonderful year it has been. My daughter got engaged, graduated college, and is now having a baby. My middle son got his drivers license and his first car. My youngest boy started middle school. My second book published and I did 8 speaking events this year. Michael and I vacationed in Bora Bora and later in the year we took the kids to Costa Rica for family time. What a fabulous year we have had!
Think through your year, reminisce and be thankful for all the blessings that you have. Think about your yearly 'Highs'. Run through the year like a movie playing in your head. We don't spend enough time thinking through where we've been. It is an important place to start. It is a precursor to 2011 planning.
