I love these days between Christmas and New Years. As a teacher, as a religious professional, and now as a scholar, this week has always been sacred "time off," and it coincides with a break for my spouse and kids as well.

I have now witnessed the annual reanimation of the post that suggests that we all do nothing, think nothing, be nothing and "become a couch" ... good advice for some, I'm sure, but a miss for me.

I use this time for dreaming and noticing, usually amid different landscapes from those where I live. Part of my practice during this week is "Year End Review," which just means finding ways to surface and reflect on what has been and what is in the process of becoming.

If YOU do some sort of year end review ... what pictures you took, what recipes you relied on, what you read or watched or wrote ...I'd love to hear about it.

Are you trying something new this year?

What feels toothy and important as you surface what you've learned and who you've been?
