Here we are at the beginning of 2013, and as I emerge out of the fog of flu I can finally start to focus on the year ahead. This is not about resolutions or predictions; it is simply a chance, in this quiet space before the phone starts to ring again and the e-mails pile up, to think about the direction I might want to take.

I like Seth Godin’s approach that suggests taking stock, more of an inventory. Thinking about what I gained in 2012 and what I need to improve on – opportunities I may have missed that I need to revisit. All in all it feels like there is a more of a need for a move to action than ever.

I have also played with my cosmic ordering cards and several things came up – being mindful of my connectivity and how I use my energy, managing negatively toned emotions and the barriers they create, and using my dreams more creatively.

I was encouraged by one card to take a good look at myself in the mirror and ask the question

‘Who do I see?’
