Intention and the New Year

I've never been a New Year's Resolution kind of person, but I do like to take stock. I consider things like my general gratitudes and ways of being in the world, and consider the outcomes.
Every year I like to set an Intention for the year, a focus. And I make some decisions in support of that priority. Last year I focused on finances and taking care of some building projects. The year before was about solidifying my primary relationships to increase honest communications about expectations.
This year, I chose to get back to the Soul Fire of my being. That which nourishes my inner self and motivations. I quit my teaching job, and rearranged the expected use of dedicated rooms in my very small house. I started making ART again. Going to museums, workshops, galleries, setting up a better work space and consulting a creativity coach. I also made some changes to my massage practice and added some locations for my client base.
