Happy 2014!
A precious friend recently reminded me of the beauty of receiving greetings in the mail, particularly holiday greetings. I completely agree. There is something special about finding an envelope in your mailbox accompanied by the brief anticipation of wondering what is inside!
In the world of texting, email and e-cards, it is easy to forget the warm feeling you get when you receive a personal note. This year, my mailbox was aglow with Christmas, Chanukah and New Year’s cards: pre-printed, handwritten, photos, collages – all of it fantastic! I display all of the cards that I receive in my entryway. So many well wishes and cute faces to see each time I walk past. When I take the cards down (which happens later and later each year), it is impossible to not feel treasured.
When I think about the first day of 2013, it would be an understatement to say that my life is completely different on this first day of 2014. My 2013 can be summed up as the year of learning and doing. Last year was filled with innovation, unblocking, creativity, mourning, collaboration, reconnecting, missteps, progress and clarity. I witnessed the best of the human spirit by those I know and by strangers. This will continue to inspire. There was also disappointment from the weakness of character that I witnessed. This will continue to inspire as well.
Launching The Candi Dish and receiving positive support and compliments for my blog posts has been incredibly gratifying. I am not a big fan of New Year’s Resolutions but I do have huge plans for 2014! Writing and creating and seizing the day, oh my!
Thanks for digging into The Candi Dish in 2013! I hope to serve up some good stuff in 2014!
