My '12 Insights

• Be a little kinder than necessary

• It is more difficult for me to receive than it is to give, yet equally important

• Allow myself to fully experience every single emotion that comes up

• No, I have not moved beyond, above, over, around or past...I've simply moved forward

• My career isn't what drives me, it's my passion that is in the driver's seat and sometimes I break the speed limit and run a red light now and then

• Drugs and their ill-effects are awful, addictions ruin lives and not just those of the addicts

• A plan is nice, it is also nice to be able to go with the flow

• A new phrase that got me through many stressful moments: this is about you and your journey, not me and mine

• I will always be a crazy dreamer, and no, I'm not the only one

• I didn't know what I was capable of until I faced something I didn't think I was capable of 

• People really do feel, see, hear, experience the dead; spirits exist in my daily reality

• I am worth it

I only gave myself 12 minutes to reflect back on 2012 and pull out the 12 insights I've gained this past year. The above is what came to me, unedited. I may go back later and expand on some, or I may leave them alone. What have you learned from 2012?
