REVERB13 ( DAY#21): Reverberating into 2014


LET THERE BE GRACE! (Art by Hallelujah Truth)
Hallelujah for REVERBERATING! Hallelujah for looking back, reviewing, and taking a stand for who we are! 

The final prompt for Kat McNally's REVERB13 (Day #21) is this series of questions about 2014: 

2014 is going to be MY YEAR because...

In 2014, I am going to do...

In 2014, I am going to feel...

In 2014, I am not going to...

In December 2014, I am going to look back and say...


OKAY! Let's get started! On this darkest day of the year, the winter solstice, there isn't much time to reverberate! 

HAPPY HALLELUJAH HOUSEHOLD
2014 is going to be MY YEAR because...
...I have become the DANCING ECSTATIC EMBRACING GRACE. I have come to understand and truly appreciate my life while writing my reflections during the past 20 days of REVERB13 and now have a name for my home life with Chiboogamoo and our two cats: THE HAPPY HALLELUJAH HOUSEHOLD

In 2014, I am going to...
...continue making friends with the past. In one of my blog entries (here), I discovered a new way to understand my eroded relationships. I would perceive these stressed friendships as plants that had thrived in my garden during their season and now needed to become compost. I also made a commitment to "get the dinosaur off my head (here)" and have decided that dancing it off my head in 2014 will be a fun thing.

MAKING FRIENDS WITH THE DINOSAUR ON MY HEAD IN 2014! One of the big Christmas gifts I'm giving myself this year for 2014 is making friends with my past (the dinosaurs on my head). I'm dancing the dinosaur off of my head and turning him into Santa Claus! Here I am pictured with Santasaurus at Fernbank Museum of Natural History in December 2013. (Photo by Chiboogamoo)
In 2014, I am going to feel...
...embodied...awakened (see this blog)!


In 2014, I am not going to STOP...
...seeking GRACE

...being EMBODIED
...feeling JOY
...making ART
...experiencing a REAWAKENING.

In December 2014, I am going to look back and say...
...WOW...THAT WAS  ONE OF THE MOST AWESOME YEARS OF MY LIFE!

That's Coffee with Hallelujah! SOUL BLOG with me what you have REVERBERATED about your life in 2013!

  2. I'm inspired. Your "muddied" relationships have hit home with me. Composting is a great idea. Thanks!

    1. Lee thanks! Since I wrote that blog post, I have been using this metaphor of composting old negative relationships. It works for me. To everything there is a season. I needed a positive way to move on the negative--the old and dying, the diseased, the sterile, etc...

  4. Fascinating. Dino on your head. I've had a black dog on my back. Dino on head is quite different. After reading what you said, I wondered what reverberates for me today. It is the day itself. Light fog outside, visibility about 50 yards, trees up close clear and wet and they fade quickly in the white distance. It is a quiet, still day of around 55 degrees, now a soft, quiet rain, light without a source, like in the gloaming all day, restful, a day for reading and looking out the windows, for resonating with Caterpillar the cat, for the nap I've already taken. Notable day for its stillness, the windchime ringing its sequence of notes that is never the same.

  6. All of this is totally going to come to pass, Ruth. I know it.
    Thankyou for being such a luminous presence throughout Reverb13 and for inviting so many of your companions to join the community. It would not have been the same -- and nowhere near as vibrant nor delightful -- without you.
