Riding the comma

Riding the comma

2017, 2018

Look! There it is!

The little squiggle between two years, that’s where we find ourselves today on Sunday 31st December. So to make the most of comma day here’s a lovely little 'betwixt and between' reflection for you.

Take some time. Find a quiet spot. Let your electronics rest peacefully out of reach. Pour yourself a glass of your favorite beverage. Settle in for a ponder.

Are you sitting comfortably? Then we’ll begin…

Part 1.         Looking back

·     What happened for you in 2017?

·     What were the highlights and best bits?

·     Where was it dark and heavy?

·     What did you learn and what did you teach?

·     Who did you help and who helped you?

·     Have you turned off the lights and shut the door on the 2017, or are there things to tidy up before you move on?

·     In The Book of Your Life where every year is a different chapter, what is the subtitle of your 2017 chapter?

(Now might be a good time for a stretch and a fluid adjustment break!)

Part 2.           Looking forward

·     Looking forward, what does 2018 hold for you?

·     What are your highest hopes for 2018?

     What are your greatest fears?

·     What will you accomplish and what will you help others accomplish?

·     What will you learn and what will you teach?

·     Who will help you and who will you help?

·     Complete the sentences below...

In 2018 I will say hello to…

In 2018 I will say goodbye to…

In The Book of Your Life where every year is a different chapter, what is the working title of the 2018 chapter?


I wish you every good blessing for 2018.

Great article Alison Smith, MSc! And an even better question to reflect on "In The Book of Your Life where every year is a different chapter, what is the working title of the 2018 chapter?"
