Kate O.!* Congrats, Kate, you are the lucky new owner of a 2010 Birds of the Berkshires Calendar!
I love Kate’s comment:
Love the Berkshires! And their birds are lovely!
My favorite way to ring in the New Year is with a cheap bottle of champagne and expensive ingredients for making a gourmet chocolate cake. With lots of sprinkles.
I also like to look back at my Pows (bad times/poor decisions) and my Wows (great times/successes).
.
I think it’s a great suggestion to look back at the year and evaluate the good and the bad. I think that is a nice way to complete the year and allow yourself to move forward. I also love the champagne and chocolate cake! (and sprinkles!) If you haven’t seen it yet, there are instructions for a lovely completion ritual up on Andrea’s blog. It leads you through a nice process of looking back and forward in a productive way.
I loved reading all of your New Year rituals or non-rituals, it was such a pleasure to get a glimpse into your celebrations and your processes for moving forward into a new year. Thanks to all who entered!
It looks like I *might* have a few more calendars available for sale. Please contact me direclty if you are interested, as there are definitely not many left up for grabs out there in the world. As of last week there were a few left for sale at Emporium, which has just moved to its new location at 441 North Street in Pittsfield (just 2 doors north of where they were over the holidays). So you can definitely head there to grab one if I sell out!
*FYI, the winner was chosen by using this random number picker. Just in case you were wondering.
