Greetings!

I hope this message finds you well, happy, and sharing time with those who are special to you.  The holidays are such a great time to take advantage of the slower pace to relax, reconnect with folks more personally and rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit.  May you be refreshed and excited to dive into the new year!

I know it has been some time since I last connected with you; I took time this autumn for travel, soul-searching and a big life change.  I decided, after ten years living in the Washington DC area, to sell my home in Silver Spring, Maryland and move back to my native state of Florida.  (Yes, I left in time to dodge the snowstorms!)  I am now settling into my new home in North Palm Beach.  It’s pretty clear that this was the right decision energetically, as well as practically, for me: I listed my house on November 2nd, signed a contract on November 6th and closed on the house November 20th.  That’s 19 days from listing to closing.  It also speaks to one of my core ways of living: “Make a decision, get it done.”

Some friends have asked, “Won’t you miss the winter season?”  Not so much – I’ve got Florida blood and I really love the warm.  During my “sabbatical” this fall I asked myself, heart-of-hearts, where am I happiest?  This is an important question if I want to live my most fulfilled life.  My answer was to move back to where I can be nurtured by the sun, see more of my family, and get outside to cycle, walk and bodysurf more often.

So what about you?  Heart-of-hearts, are you living where you love it?  Are you doing work that fulfills you?  Are you happy with your life?  As the New Year approaches, this is a perfect time to reflect on where in your life you’re happy and fulfilled, and where you’re not.  And if there’s something that you wish could be different, why not do something about it?  Make a decision, and get it done.

Some things take longer to accomplish than others.  That’s okay.  Once you decide what that new outcome is – that dream or vision or goal – you can figure out just that first step and do it.  That’s progress and every bit of forward motion, no matter how modest, can be a boost to your spirit and keep your momentum going.  It’s exciting – just make that first decision, and get that first action done.  You can do it!

If you get inspired, share your thoughts and let me know 1) what change will make your life more fulfilling, 2) what that first step to make it happen will be, and 3) the date that you’ll have it done.  If you would rather reach me privately, email me (kathy at Robust Life Coaching.com).  And if you are seriously committed to making changes and would like some coaching to help you get into action, I invite you to apply for one of my complimentary Life Strategy Sessions (a limited number are available) and go after your heart’s desire.

Cheers to you and may 2010 be your best year ever!
