Year of the Wood Horse

"Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning." – Gloria Steinem


My double deck tarot card reading confirms that this next year is going to be an wild ride with lots of change and pursuing of dreams. Not sure what exactly that says about 2013.

2013 dreams that came true:
- my very apartment in Paris. In a neighborhood that I LOVE!
- a house with two barns and a garden in Burgundy.
- selling one of the barns to my dear friends so they can join me on this wild French ride.
- deepening of new and old friendships.
- cleaning out my stateside storage unit (whoa!) and selling my beloved Saab.
- a slump was busted
- trips to new places (like Belgium and Spain) and revisiting some favorites (Carreyes,Mexico and Cinque Terre, Italy)



2014 dreams:
- French fluency (or something close to it)
- a couch for the country house. Seriously, how hard can this be?
- visiting a new country/city that I have never been to.
- hosting my teenage nephew for his first trip to Europe.
- re-igniting my creativity.
- more slump busting
- embracing change and uncertainty with a sense of excitement and wonder which is obviously inevitable now that it is Year of the Wood Horse.
