Good to see them all able to float as well. It’s excellent reflection to list it all out like this. I like a mind map but I’m a little different than you with my visual preferences. The important thing is no duck will slip through the cracks for you. You’ve really come on strong in 08. Watch out 2009 – Suzanne has given notice!

Djuanna – I LOVE the pick a theme song idea…wonder what mine would be for this year…hmmm…I’ll have to think on that one.

Yasmin – you know how I’m always talking about the 15 channels I’ve got going in my head all at once? One of them is usually always monitoring the duck inventory. lol New Year’s Day, though, I try to turn the volume down on the other 14 and give that one my full attention.

Hey Suzanne…and Happy New Year.
As far as resolutions…I’m a work in progress so I’m always making goals and adjusting them as necessary so that I don’t stress out…lol.

Hey Suzanne, Like you, I don't make resolutions. I set my intention for the year (clarity, action, discipline, etc) and then I pick a theme song. Oh yeah, and I do this around Thanksgiving, so that at the first of the year, I've been marinating on the changes and have already begun to take steps. I'm a little slow on the uptake, and need the extra time to get ready. LOL Djuanna´s last blog post..The End?

Lisa – thanks, my duck model works pretty well for me. You’re absolutely right about the real work being getting clear on what you want. I had to start with accurately seeing what is, first. I guess that’s why my duck model looks at that first. That and it gives me a place to start. Thanks for coming by and sharing your NYR model. I appreciate you!

Wow Suzanne, I?m impressed – you have a major inventory going on with your Duck model! It seems that first you focus is on ?what is? and then based on that, you decide what you want to call in. Very thorough and complete. I really like what you have created and I may have to test that out for myself!

My model for NYRs is to set intentions rather than make resolutions. Intentions vs. resolutions feels very yin/yang. Setting intentions feels soft, like ?yin? or feminine energy and making resolutions feels very masculine, like ?yang? energy.

My New Year?s intentions follow the same model I use for New Moon Intentions each astrological month – they?re just a little broader, but because I operate in flow I am flexible knowing that something new can come in and totally change the picture at any moment.

Last year a new young client gave me $40,000 (yes, you heard me!) to start a production company, produce a six-day residential retreat and cover the fee for the teacher and expenses. Did I ask for that specifically in my intentions? No. Could I have imagined this would happen? No! But it did fit into this intention that I had set:

?I ask and allow that I manifest an abundance of financial rewards and resources from unexpected sources effortlessly and easily in a smooth, non-dual way.?

Note: this intention said nothing about earning the income or working for it – and that?s an important piece of this story. I was as shocked as anyone could be when it happened – it was like magic. And what can I say, I like good surprises!

Some of my intentions are very specific regarding what I want to call in and others are more nebulous like the one above, but I am very clear about what I want to magnetize into my life. That?s the real work – getting clear. I think it?s a beautiful, expansive spiritual practice that anyone can do ? and if you need help, I am a specialist at languaging intentions for people based on your desires, so check

Great post Suzanne!

Quack quack!

I am also getting my ducks in a row.

I made a resolution to smile more in 2009. Smiling is free and helpful to the smiler (me) and smile-ee (one being smiled at). On top of the smile resolution I am making new dream boards! My dining room table is a mess with magazines, scissors and tape. Too much fun. I only wish I had some glue.

Setting resolutions, goals, lining up ducks, setting intention is a great way to move toward what we want in life. Create the life you want. Live by design, not default!

Off to the market to stock up on some healthy food. The cookie eating party is sooooooo over at my house.

Quack, quack from your faithful duck friend!
