Oct 23 - Nov 21 (Scorpio) ~ for December 31, 2008:
Let your own creativity lead the way. There's no need to follow in another's footsteps when you have the power to chart your own course.

I don't usually follow these, but on this last day of 2008, I was curious and it could'nt be more appropriate for me in my life at this time.

At year's end, I find myself reflecting over where I've been this year and deep in thought as to where I want to go next year. It's always a good thing to step outside ourselves and identify our accomplishments and successes as well as evaluate our failures and pitfalls.

By taking an inventory of our lives at this one point in time, we are better able to identify what is missing or what is needed to move forward and chart a course with a plan for the future. Like any good garden designer, we must first take stock of what exists in our lives (or gardens) in order to prepare a plan of action for the future. This is what I try to do each year.

I challenge each of you to take a few minutes of time today on this last day of 2008 and identify what is working in your life and what needs some adjustments. Set some positive goals for yourself this year. Let the decisions you make in 2009 be guided by these goals you have set for yourself today. Plan your work and work your plan in 2009 and you will be richly rewarded with new blooms and blossoms in your life!

This couldn't be more appropriate! Happy New Year and thank you for stopping by. I hope you'll come by often in the new year.
