Mindfulness and Milestones: Things Are Coming Together in 2010

I’m already excited about 2010.  Sure, I’m focused on the present moment, but I can’t help but feel that there are some interesting times ahead for all of us. 

For me personally, 2010 is a milestone year:  I will celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary in March and my 50th birthday in June.  Seems like a good reason to pay even more attention to what matters most in my life.

What matters most in yours?  I’m  going to invite you to look at that in the months ahead and discover new possibilities for creativity and meaning.

Now that the focus on my book, The New Global Student, is winding down and I have just completed writing my second book (more on that in the weeks ahead), I feel that things are coming together in very satisfying ways.  The second book is about developing greater mindfulness and finding or creating both a sense of place and our right livelihood.   And while I have been very happy living in Buenos Aires, Argentina for the last three years, I feel a pull in a new direction.  (No, I’m not moving–more like…expanding.  Details soon!) More than ever, I feel a deep sense of gratitude for the gifts in my life and a yearning to connect with and support others who are immersed in the process of charting a new course for themselves.

I’m looking forward to digging into that much more in 2010 both here and in my creative lifestyle design blog over at  New Globals.

I hope you’ll come along for the ride.

Book Update: The New Global Student to hit bookstores May 19th!

That’s right–the book is written and in production at the fine offices of Three Rivers Press (a division of Random House) and I’m busy preparing the new website(s) and contacting blurbers and all of the other wonderful things you get to do when you write a book.  I’m loving every minute of it (well, almost every minute).

The title has been changed since my last post–it’s now The New Global Student:  Skip the SAT, Save Thousands on Tuition, and Get a Truly International Education.  You’ll be able to learn all about it when the new website launches next week at www.NewGlobalStudent.com

Anyway, I couldn’t be happier with the way things are turning out.  I hope to update this blog on a fairly regular basis (once a week or so) once things are going smoothly.

Thanks so much for your patience!  Oh, and don’t forget to check out my prettified website (also up next week) at www.Real-WorldMindfulness.com
