Recap | The theme for 2013

As 2013 comes to a close, I started thinking about the theme for the year.  I chose "restore" because last December I was spending time thinking about how much we simply throw away...

...things.
...relationships.
...time.

I wrote in the original post the way the themes always surprise me in the way that they grow to define a year.  This year was no different.  Here are some of the "theme inspired" things that happened this year:

• I reduced the excess in my home, my schedule, my self.
• Tried and failed at a spending fast.
• Participated in Project 333. 
• Changed my workflow. 
• Took the doors off my kitchen cabinets to hold me to keeping it simple. 
• Changed our outflow of trash by composting and adjusting how we collect trash in our home.
• Freed up time to work on passion projects.  
• Learned some "old skills" like how to make my own cleaning solutions and makeup.
• Discovered that clearing out physical space facilitates clearing emotional space.
• Worked through limiting beliefs to restore the way I see myself.  (Note that I suspect this isn't a one-time thing <grin>) 

I'm wondering what the theme for 2014 might be.  Still thinking about that...
