2009 – a Review of Sorts
This year I selected the words Expansion and Integrity as my words of the year (in lieu of a resolution or setting specific goals for the year).
Some fabulous things did happen for me with my art career in 2009, but most of the expansion in my life was on a personal level. A home remodel project and the addition of a gorgeous new studio, a month in Africa and moving my mom to Colorado so she could live near me. Huge expanding changes and all of it wonderful.
When I set my intention last January I mainly had my art career in mind but clearly life had other plans for my expansion. Tomorrow I’ll post a list of my 100 accomplishments for 2009 and it will be clear my art career wasn’t neglected either. The completion of the South African Impressions Art Project was very exciting.
So here’s to 2009 – it wasn’t what I expected but it was still fabulous and the growth that I experienced I wouldn’t trade for anything.
Looking forward to 2010 – I’ve selected my word for the year and another one for the decade and I’ll post those on Jan 1.

Always great to follow along with you throughout the year.. again thanks for sharing your processes and thoughts.. they have been both inspirational and practical… I’m very excited to say after years of fear and anxious concern ( that I couldn’t make art again and would it be “original”: my own voice)?…… I’m back on and riding that bike! My word of the year just came to me…..”Renewal” and it fits perfectly!
Happy 2010 to you and all of your friends family and followers!
Congratulations on all your accomplishments in 2009. I wish you the best for 2010 as well! Happy New Year!
