Opening door, closing door

by Kristen DeLap


On New Year’s Eve a friend hosted a “vision boarding” party where we all gathered casually with wine and appetizers and magazines and scissors. We snipped what we thought was inspirational or reflective of the coming year, proverbially speaking it to the universe by gluing it to posterboard. The Kazoo magazines turned out to have some incredible graphics, including one of a check box next to the phrases opening door and closing door. It immediately caught my attention as the metaphor I’d like for my 2023. In a place of prominence on my posterboard visual manifesto, I appreciate how it stands for being willing to step into new areas while thoughtfully moving away from places that are no longer serving me. It allows me to add and to leave, to be aware of and open to both sides of the opportunities. May 2023 be full of opportunities.
