A new year is a chance for a fresh start. It is my tradition every New Year’s Eve to make a list of anything I want to release from that year—and then burn it.
Some years my list makes it’s way to the fireplace, some years we have a fire pit in the back yard, and some years I am lucky enough to be at the beach with a bon fire.
It’s a symbolic way of making sure I let go whatever isn’t working for me so I can head into a New Year with a clean slate ready for a new beginning.
Try it! It’s liberating!
Happy NEW Year!

Lisa, aloha. Love this. Years ago I learned about the “burning bowl” ceremony and it definitely makes a difference.
One of the reasons, I believe, Lisa, is because you consciously think about what you want to release.
Best wishes to you and yours for a year filled with hope, love, contentment, and achievements.
So glad that we connected. hauoli Makahiki Hou. Janet
This is a great idea. So much has happened this year, both in business and in life, I could definitely come up with a list. Think I’ll do this, thanks for the idea.
