A few people in my family will be hitting milestones this year - significant milestones that are cause for significant celebration thus making 2012 a happy year to come!
This got me thinking, what else would be worth celebrating in 2012? Why stop at these two milestones?
So I started a list.
Working quickly I wrote down real events like birthdays and anniversaries, but then, without setting out to, I started listing events I wanted to manifest that would be cause to celebrate.
a work in progress that didn't quite make it to the finish line
I like the message
All of a sudden my list became a mixture of affirmations, visualization and already-existing events worth celebrating. It's visioning and party-planning all wrapped into one! How cool is that?
Here's what I came up with:
- Mom & Dad's 50th wedding anniversary
- Mom's birthday - she's hitting a major milestone this year, whoop whoop!
- my birthday - this is the year, I want a party!
- my blogging anniversary - 6 years baby!
- my online shop's first sale
- my first workshop given
- my dating, "going steady" and wedding anniversaries with D.
