We all have our own way of bringing in the New Year.  For me, it's about letting go and making room.  I call it my Top Ten Things Tradition.  It's a great way to clear your life of things you don't want anymore to make room for the things you do want.  Each year I get a piece of paper and cut it up into 20 small slips to write on.  I take ten of them and write Ten Things I want to let go of from the previous year.  So I look back at 2011 and think about things that didn't serve me, or that I simply don't want to repeat, and write them down, one at a time on each slip of paper.  Then I think about 2012 and how I want this New Year to unfold.  I take the other 10 slips of paper and write down the things I want more of, or the new dreams I want to see unfold.  I try to keep both lists focused on my life...which can be hard because I so often times want things for others...but this is a personal list, and it serves best if I keep it that way.  Then...at some point on January 1st, I find a way to let go of the Top Ten Things from 2011 in a special way.  I've burned them one by one in a beautiful fire, or let them disolve in a candle fire.  A couple of years I went to my favorite stream and let them go there, or in the ocean (biodegradable paper is used).  The letting go and watching the things I don't want any more disolve was wonderful and liberating.  Then I keep the ten things for the new year in a special keepsake box.  That way I can visit the box as the year unfolds and enjoy the fulfillment of watching them unfold. 

To some, this may be a strange way to bring in the New Year, but for me it's now a Tradition I look forward to .  I've always shared it with families as a wonderful activity to do together.  It allows a special time of sharing that often doesn't happen in everyday life. 

I leave this with you with love and sincere wishes that 2012 brings you all your dreams come true. ~Milan

My First Blog Ever!  Thanks for checking it out! So many great things are happening in my 50th year!  So I thought I'd start sharing the tips, trials, and treasures of getting in the best shape of my life.  But it didn't start on my 50th birthday like I had planned.  It started the day after Christmas with a two week cleansing and holistic heath retreat in San Diego.  Yes, of course I brought my Power90 DVD's! I'm loving this time of focus and can't wait to clear the cupboards at home and turn my body on to a 70% raw food diet! These day's going raw is not about carrots and celery!  It's amazing, and Tony Horton was right about how great you feel.
