I have been quiet lately. Not that you've had time to read my posts with all of the holiday chaos that engulfs us. So you probably don't mind. I've been buried under an avalanche of challenges, but have come out the other side, feeling centered and even a tiny smidge excited about the holidays, which is very unusual for me!
I decided to take a break for the rest of 2010. My trauma anniversary came and went and things are good. I feel very present-moment-oriented. In the new year, if all goes as intended, I will continue this blog, but will post monthly instead of weekly. It was just way too much. Too many posts, too many weekly ideas to come up with, and too short of a time to focus on them. If there were any mantras or actions that you really liked this past year, please let me know and I'll work on building on them in the 2011. And I'll be making my donation to the Preeclampsia Foundation after this post. Maybe you'll also consider making a donation to support an organization committed to raising funding for research and awareness for a condition that kills one mother every seven minutes and kills half a million fetuses and newborns every year.
Looking back at my first post, I feel good about where I've ended up with my intentions..
I want to really live life. I want to feel and share the love that is all around me. I want to be in the present moment. I want to notice and appreciate the gratitude that fills my heart when I actually stop and notice everything that is good around and within me. These things are what I call living with positive intention.
I am doing this now. Thank you for your love and support along this journey, and I can't wait to continue on in the new year!

Amy -- Thanks for all your beautiful reflections this year! Your commitment to your own healing has been inspirational; your commitment to supporting the Preeclampsia Foundation has been a beautiful testament to how every single person can make a difference. We are VERY grateful for your support and for the support of your readers. We have worked hard this year to support women and families like yours and especially to drive education and awareness so that others do not have to endure the traumatic pregnancies that you, I and so many others have. We have some exciting plans in store for next year, emboldened and energized by you and your readers to make it an intentional year. Thank you!!!
