2012 - The Year of Change


Here we are in the first month of 2012.

What does it mean? Is the world going to end this year?

Nope.

I have noticed this year that I do seem to be much more introspective, and I don't think it is related to just the beginning of a new year and all that resolution stuff. I can sense some type of difference in how I am viewing my life now and going forward.

The interesting thing is... I have seen it in what other people are doing too. It feels like we are at a critical mass for change. There are old beliefs and "old ways" that are struggling to hold onto control - i.e.: the Tea Party beliefs, ultra conservative viewpoints, and those that look to suppress.

It is an amazing time we are living in right now. I see a lot of good in the world and the critical mass of like minded people wanting to make a change in the world for the better. Maybe it is because we are all more connected now through the likes of Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites or maybe most of us have just had enough of old thoughts and stagnating. I think it is a little of both. I find myself thinking more, and more about sharing my thoughts with the world whether through written word or art. I have seen this also in several postings by my friends and family lately. It is pretty awesome.

Our world is changing, no matter how hard some people try to control it. That is what I think 2012 is about - change. I am looking forward to the ride.
