1. Did 2016 treat you well? Tell me about your major life events or themes that kept popping up for you this past year.

2016 was both one of the most painful and joyous years of my life. I had a LOT of major life events but the major themes this year were "No with a period" and "You are allowed..."


2. What did you learn, accomplish, try, or overcome in 2016?

I learned a lot about myself in the way of how deep my well of strength really is but also that I don't always have to be strong. That I can admit when I've had enough. I overcame my fear this year too. In huge ways.



3. Do you normally make New Year's resolutions? Did you make any for 2016? If so, did you accomplish those goals or see fruits of your labor?

I don't have formal resolutions but I do set intentions and think about the things I want to work on. I wanted 2016 to be the year of "More of everything good" and "Less of everything that hurts me" and that exactly happened.


4. How did your relationships change in 2016?
A lot. Nuff' said.


5. Did you do any work on yourself physically in 2016? Get any new tattoos? Try a new hairstyle? Gain or lose weight? Overcome an illness? Talk about it!

I hit the lowest weight I have been at since I was 19 back in April. I've gained a bit back, 20 pounds or so, and intend to take it back off.
I have plans to get my final (and most imortant) tattoo of my life some time in 2017 when the time is right.



6. What do you want to see happen in 2017 in your personal life? What about in the world in general?

I want movement in my body, in my place of rest, and in my heart. I want the world to find peace. I want Donald Trump to fall off a cliff with most of the Republican party.



7. What are some things you are excited about in 2017? Afraid of? Hoping for?

I am SO freaking about 2017 in so many ways. HUGE plans. HUGE changes. I'm afraid of peeing my pants before it all happens. I'm hoping I don't pee my pants in front of anyone!!
Mostly I'm excited because I feel such a renewed sense of awe with the world, with love, with general joy.



8. Will you be trying anything new in 2017?

Yes, I will be cooking more things that I've never tried to make. I will be doing more yoga. I will be exploring new cities. Also thinking about taking a Krav Maga class or 10.



9. With the current political climate, will you be doing anything specific to enact change in your local community or state? What are your plans?

I will vote in ALL of my local elections and probably will end up volunteering on some local campaigns, making donations, etc.


10. What projects will you work on in 2017?

Trimming down my body. Trimming down my possessions. Exploding my love.
