<span style="font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif";">This
morning, which began first thing as a vulnerable, raw emotion day, when I
sat down at my table to try and meditate some brain monkeys away, and found the
ants crawling, I lost it for a little while and started squishing every ant I
saw. There were maybe a dozen in and under my stuff on the desk. </span></div>

I’m still thinking on what word I would like to focus on for
2016.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
I didn’t do that practice for 2015 and I missed it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I think I will combine the practice of letting go of 2015</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
by throwing a rock in the ocean inscribed with what I need to
let go of,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
and picking up a new rock</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
and inscribing it with what I would like to see more of in 2016.</div>

I know where I will be keeping my intention Word of the Year
Rock!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I used to have these sweet little porcelain boxes that I
customized every year and offered in my etsy shop,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
but the supply has run out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So I came up with these sweet little stitched pouches and an
amulet pouch necklace as a replacement.<br />
