Just before the end of the year, I shared these journaling prompts to help you envision your next year. These are prompts that dig into the heart of the matter…which is of course, our hearts.
I know some of you were too busy during that window between Christmas and New Year’s to catch what was flying by in your inboxes, and I know others of you are just starting to do your 2013 visioning now, so I share the prompts again with you here today.
Lots of love,
Tara

Grab a journal and write your answers to these prompts. Or write them in the comments below, or at your own blog. If you’d like, share your answers with someone you love, and listen to theirs.
Go with your first instinct as you complete the statements. Let your intuition lead. If you are writing, keep the pen moving. Don’t get stuck in “thinking about it.” Don’t look for the “right” answer.
You don’t have to understand your answers right away. Some may feel surprising or even mysterious. Over time, their meaning will emerge for you.
