I love that it's 2012. I think it's exciting. I do not think that the whole world is going to come to a fiery end, but I do think that we're in a time of accelerating change and growth. Call me stubbornly optimistic, but I think we--that is, humankind--will change, have even changed already. Take a look at the Occupy movement, for example. Ordinary people are standing up for ordinary rights and asking for change in a non-violent and creative way. I hope to see lots more of that kind of thing this year.

As for me, I plan to serve as many folks as I can with my massage and healing work, and to enjoy my friends and my family, and to make lots and lots of art. If we do go up in a ball of fire, I'd like to have a paintbrush in my hand.
