The end of the year is always a good time to look back and take one action.

Look back at :

• Your gut! What project was your heart signing to this year?
• Your surrounding. Who's around you? Do they get it? Do they support you? Do they detract you?

Time to shift towards these who lift you up.

• Your Patchwork: what makes YOU you? What's your special lens?
• Forget about your age. It does not matter.
• Get immune to detractors. Hear them then ignore them.
• Act this month - What is one thing you can take a shot at ?
