I have two hours this morning at a coffee shop and will be using them to reflect with your questions as a guide! Thank you, Tsh!

Sounds perfectly delightful, Dixie! You're most welcome.

Really looking forward to printing these out and working through them. We are having a lot of our annual “life slowed down and we’re taking stock” conversations at our house and a little direction is always helpful!

We're in the midst of that too! I feel like I've heard that from a lot of people this past fall... I think 2023 was a doozy (not always in a bad way) for many households. 💛

Headed alone to our local retreat cabin, Shalom, for the day. This is a perfect contemplative start to the inner work I hope to do. Thanks again for your work.

That sounds heavenly, Dorothy! Glad these questions can play a small part.

I love these questions.

I will say 2023 has been a hard year. Challenging. Wearisome. But there are blessings.

I get it, Annette! It’s good to remember the slivers of light tucked into the dark.

Thank you for reminding me of the questions. I have been using your new years day questions for what feels like "a long time." I have tried to take the encouragement to narrow down the things on which I could take action to just a couple of things. When I then post them on my bathroom mirror, I find that sometimes 6 months into the year, it's time to step into action. Keep up the good work and merry everything.

I love hearing all this, Christen... Merry Everything right back! 😉

One thing I found out about myself this year is that if I sit down and write out answers to reflection questions, I actually hear from the Holy Spirit really well. Thanks for providing a bunch of them to use. In the past, I haven't taken advantage of them.

Thank you so much Tsh! This morning I purchased your workshop Rule of Life. I read in your news mail about an updated version in January. Do you advise to wait till then with starting the workshop?

Tsh Oxenreider's avatar

You could honestly go either way... The current program is still great (in my opinion), so it won't derail you or anything. The newer version focuses more on the universal endgame for us all (cultivating virtue, etc.), so whatever you start working on now could dovetail fairly seamlessly into the new edition.

These questions look fantastic, Tsh! Printed, stapled, and waiting for NYE! So excited! 🍾🍾🍾

I'm so glad, Rachel!

Last year was my first time using your reflection questions. It is so hard to believe it is already the end of another year. Ah, but we say this year in and year out! Thank you for all the writing you do. Blessings to you in 2024.

You're so welcome! Happy holidays!

I began the workshop and then was sidetracked with health stuff but I was planning to regroup and begin again in January so these questions and reflections are a good way to ease into the place of slowing down and paying attention. Thank you

Tsh Oxenreider's avatar

So glad to hear it, Juliann!

Thank you so much for this, Tsh! My husband and I loved talking through the questions on NYE last year, and we’ve been looking forward to doing the same again this year. Also excited for your updated Rule of Life course! So grateful for your work. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

I worked on the end of the year reflection questions in my journal last week. Looking forward to using the New Year questions as my prompts for this week. I also purchased First Light & Eventide to use this year. Happy New Year!
