It's almost the end of the year.

You're bound to have a ton of shizzle to do between now and December 31. You feel the pull of the season- it is a little magical, no? All those cookies to be baked, presents to be carefully selected (and wrapped!), gay apparel to be donned.*

And you also feel the pull of hibernation- the nights are darker and longer, the temperatures (in half the world) are colder.

If you've got a product-based business, then you know this is go time! Your fourth quarter is often your biggest, and you're doing the promos and getting the merch out the door.

If you're a service provider, you might have already written off December as a non-month, thinking that if no one else is gonna do biz, then why will you?

 

Regardless of where you are and what sort of work you do, I invite you to close your year with me in a new and different way.

 

You see, at this time of year I turn inward (perhaps by design?); I take my time; I move a bit more slowly; I spend a lot more time on my yoga mat and in my journal. This time, for me, is sacred.

 

this is my end of year planning journal. but it pretty much always looks like this.

 

Left to my own devices on New Years Eve, I'll make a collage, do some yoga, meditate, light a candle for my bath and be all tucked in by 10:30 (at the latest!).

 

And as I pondered how I wanted to close out this year of my business, of the work that sustains me and allows me to do what I love, I figured I would share with you.

 

So that's what I'm gonna do!

 

You are cordially invited to join me for the first annual LifeShifted Year in Review.

 

This day long virtual retreat is for you if you:

  • Desire to celebrate your successes and learn from your challenges in 2012

  • Would like an interactive and group setting to process your year

  • Want to create a strategy for 2013 from a place of contemplation not chaos

  • Like hanging out with me!

  • Enjoy a multi-media approach to learning and training

  • Can make the time in this season to take care of yourself and your biz

 

Here's what I've cooked up (and I do hope you find it tasty):
