The year has already started for a full week and have finished my first day of work, but I'm still sitting down to write to about what people have asked me in the lead up to the new year and this past week. As somebody who loves doing reviews and reflections, making resolutions and being in tune with my life - I loved these questions.
What did you most love in 2018?
No question about it: getting married is definitely the highlight of my past year. Other highlights include moving towards my new office space (with a lot of natural light, plants, a lovely wooden floor and a petrol colored wall), helping with a lot of activities and even hosting them (GeluksRoute Delft 2018, Strip der Ontmoeting, Open Coffee) and some wonderful stories of healing in my practice (a beautiful baby was born).
What are you planning for 2019
2018 was my year of Connection, I made a lot of new connections which have filled me with gratitude and love, I have felt like the year was a bit of a big party as well with my marriage, but 2019 has a completely different vibe for me.
2019's theme is Truth, as I'm integrating a lot of work I have done in the past 10 years and finding out what works for me and what does not. I always prefer to start new things, new projects and meet new people, but now it's time to work some with the old. I also feel like it's more time to work on my own, instead of in groups.
So, I'm planning on finally writing my book(s), getting all the knowledge concentrated and hopefully out there for a wider audience. I'm also seeing which of my old projects need more attention and which I will have to let go. I always caution people to see what they want to do less off, but since I have a lot of energy and a lot of people seeking my support, it's time I take a taste of my own medicine.
How do you choose your theme's for the Year?
I usually listen intently to the vibe of the new year, but also always do a year Reading, so I can see where to best employ my talents and energy in the year to come. I always offer this to my clients too. It helps a lot to know a bit of what you can expect, but also to see where things are most likely to happen or what kind of effect they have in your life.
Last year in 2018, it was quite clear, that I was getting married, as a Major Arcana card that has to do with commitment/marriage was in the August position, but funnily the second outside influences card showed Tropical Rain Forest Energy. Originally we discussed having our honeymoon in September, as August is high season and often quite expensive. When getting this card, I told my now husband that it was likely we would do Hawaii in August and it wasn't a surprise when a good deal showed up and we managed to book a cruise for the 25th.
Do you make New Year's Resolutions?
I always make those, tempered by what kind of year I expect, and I love setting time aside to see what my goals, wishes and dreams are for the year. During the year I have time where I review the steps I'm making in getting these things done and if the resolution still matches what I want. I'm big on keeping myself accountable, but also about being understanding about seeing priorities shift.
Do you have a good recommendation for me in 2019?
This year I decided to end the year and brainstorm about the new one with the Year Compass a free booklet that asks questions and helps you sort through your year. I highly recommend it, it was a lot of fun to walk through my year again and to see what I value most out of it. It's free and available in several languages.
All the best for 2019,
Rianne Collignon
