New Year Resolutions ~ 2009

2009 is promising to be a year of great changes. From the financial crisis to the presidential inauguration, regardless of what your beliefs or which side you sit on, change is swirling all around us. While change brings with it the possibility for transformation and renewal, it also brings up a lot of challenge and fear. At this precipice of the New Year, we at Joy Lane recommend gentleness.

Being gentle with yourself and with others during change and crisis allows for more space for honesty and integrity. The world is moving face and as we get swept in its momentum, we often cling or grasp. If we can find that place of gentleness in our hearts then we can blend with the unknown and meet directly whatever comes our way. Facing the truth of our experience with gentleness allows for new possibilities and new pathways of learning.

May your experience in the coming days, weeks and months throughout 2009 be one of fresh ideas, deepening healing and renewal of spirit.

In peace, Marin
