I spent my weekend with family and friends in Maine celebrating my birthday. It was an amazing weekend which made me reflect on my life and what has happened this past year. I've decided to start a new tradition. I'm going to send a letter to myself on my birthday reflecting on the past year and to tell myself where I would like to be in a year (when I open the letter). I will also give myself some tips on what to focus on etc.

The letter starts like this:

Hi Madlene,

This is Madlene in year 2014. Yet another year has passed and the big learning this year was to not stress about time. Everything happens when it's suppose to happen....

..........

I will share my letter with you in 2015 when I open it up on my next birthday. Let's see if I learned anything and listened to myself...
