No apparel for the holiday. My friends and family honored my commitment to “the diet.” Shopping for holiday gifts was a test and I am pleased to say that I did not fold at the most challenging time of the year. Ironically, part of my commitment to this no new clothes philosophy is my attempt to honor where I am right at this moment, being content with what I have, so I was comforted to read Rebecca’s new year’s resolution. I, too, want to “honor the now.” Honoring the now is a tough thing for me and after reading MY STROKE OF INSIGHT by Jill Bolte Taylor, I realize that being truly present needs to be initiated on the right side of my brain, which I think of as the creative side. As a result, I will tap into that portion of my little brain as frequently as possible since that’s the side that provides peace, contentment, being present. When those values are ignited I need so much less stuff. . .Thanks Rebecca for helping me focus on January 1. I, too, have many other resolutions which I make each year, but the foundation is built with being present. Best wishes to all for health, happiness and peace.
