One of my best friends chooses a "theme" every year. He picks a phrase and uses it as a compass that he makes a conscious choice to follow every day. Last year, he set his intentions on "Friends. Family. Finances." And by following his compass, I watched as he deepened relationships, traveled all over the US and moved to the city of his dreams. I watched as at every crossroads, he would ask himself, "Is this in alignment with my theme?" and he would step forward with consciousness instead of just letting Life's momentum carry him through, like so many of us do. So I decided to follow his example and set forth an intention for my own year.
