Today’s insightful post is by guest blogger, Rebecca Lawton.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a dear friend who jokes that, in 2020, we’ll have no need for glasses. A long-time wearer of glasses himself, this friend also loves punning. With or without glasses in 2020, we who love writing and reading want to see clearly in all our endeavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, seeing clearly means staying grounded and\ncentered, understanding what I’m observing with all senses. Doing so requires\nthat I stick with various creative practices, whether in writing,\ncommunicating, playing music, reading the work of others, or learning new\nskills and ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, for everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I consult writing-related resources as well. This time of year, I offer a list of them on my blog<\/a>. For the first time ever, I’ve also included a few references for clearing the mind.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

May your practice buoy good health and happiness, for you, yours, and those you meet. May the goodwill you generate extend to the well-being of the planet. I join you in working for all of that. Joyful 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
