Gratituesday 12.8.20 - Looking Back, Moving Forward

It’s hard to believe that it’s December. Time was relative this year. At times I felt stuck, and at others it felt like we were speeding along. While the Rising Tide Society guide for the month was all about REST, I really like to take stock in December, and rest in January.

I like to take the last month of year to look back at what was, and move forward to what I want for the future. I learned of the Year Compass yesterday. It's a free 20-page workbook to review the past year and plan for the year ahead. I got up early this morning prepared to take a few hours to dive in. I thought that I would be happy to go through it by myself, but the guide mentioned doing it as a group. So, I decided to virtually gather a group of inspirational people to join me. So, here’s your call to action. It’s $5 to join the group (because for some reason money makes it real), and all money will go to a charity or organization of the group's choice. If you’re interested, let me know. In the meantime, let’s flex our reflective muscle. How about a few gratitudes, victories and desires? I’ll start. And of course the comment section is open below if you want to add your own. Off we go!
