2015 has been a REAL big year for me, Rick and our businesses.
It was really wonderful in many respects and really hard in others. I am extremely grateful for all aspects.
I have a prayer I say every day which includes the line, “I allow, forgive and celebrate all of my human experiences”. To me, this means four things. One, I try not to resist anything in my life even if it feels hard. Two, I forgive myself for actions I take whether or not they appear to be perfect. Three, I forgive interactions that may seem unfair to me. Finally, the ideal is to celebrate it all, trusting that everything in life is good and in the right order – whether I can see the reasons or not.
The intention is to begin and end each day with a peaceful mind and no regrets. I don’t always get there. But I do open myself up to each new day, take a mental inventory at end of day, and make amends to mentally “clear my slate” for the next day. Admittedly, it helps to have friends (and professionals) who will help me sort out issues and acknowledge that once is often not enough to deal with past history, life lessons, and long-held beliefs and behaviors. It is a life journey.
2016 holds tremendous promise, both personally and professionally. I am looking forward to see how all of our hard work and planning comes into fruition!
Highlights to include:

- Shari.io will be developing as a community as I continue to write, speak, and participate in business and community functions, boards and committees. To start, I will be hosting a Friday night group on “Living Authentically and Successfully”. This is a mastermind group for people ready to set clear intentions and achieve their heart’s desires. If you know me personally, please email me if you are interested in attending as participation is by invitation only.
Let’s all have a fabulous 2016 - start by being at peace and letting go of 2015, then set your intention for 2016!
