ahead.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My friend Debra Stobbe recently shared the process she is using this year, and I am happy to offer this to you as an option for your reflections.&nbsp;&nbsp;It

<strong>22 in 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f6fafb\">Between Christmas and New Year\u2019s Eve I humbly sit down, pull out a purple binder and flip through many years of reflections, hopes and dreams.&nbsp;&nbsp;It started with an educational goal setting workshop I attended in 1989 with Linda McCann.&nbsp;&nbsp;Over the years my process has included guidance from The Four Desires by Rod Stryker and then I found Danielle LaPorte\u2019s Desire Map.&nbsp;&nbsp;This year Gretchen Rubin from The Happiness Project inspired me with her practice.&nbsp;Last year she wrote 21 goals for 2021 and this year it will be 22 goals for 2022.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f1f6f8\">Pen and paper in hand I reflected on the past year, rereading my 2021 goals, and then started to ponder the future.&nbsp;&nbsp;I pulled ideas from house projects, health desires, educational and creative pursuits and a few fun endeavors.&nbsp;&nbsp;Oops, my list stalled at 16.&nbsp;&nbsp;I walked away, giving it time to percolate.&nbsp;&nbsp;One of my \u2018thinking\u2019 strategies.&nbsp;&nbsp;Three days later the missing six gems appeared, along with my word for the year: CHOICE.&nbsp;&nbsp;The new list is printed off and hanging by my desk as a gentle reminder of what I am choosing to focus on.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-background\"
