30 days.
We learn so much from each other. We have such great capacity to hear from each other now. We are a community of shared experiences.
Readers from around the world are sharing their answers to this question:
As we end 2011 and begin 2012, what do you want/need to let go of and what do you want to create?
You can share your answer too, and resonate with the wisdom of what others are saying:
I'm a caterpillar molting and it's hard.
What do I want to let go of? I want to let go of the feeling that what I have is not enough, and it comes with the feeling that I am going to crawl out of my skin. After 16 years of living one role, I am now living another and I've not figured out how to do it. I'm a caterpillar molting and it's hard.
What do I want to create? More words. I want to write more thinky thoughts about the things I love: being outside, mountain biking, running trails, and riding my horses. I want to go from telling about them on my blog to explaining why they're wonderful and essential.

I will be cultivating curiosity.
I keep thinking I have let go of control – and keep finding that I haven't. I think it has layers I wasn't initially aware of. So once again I'm letting go of control with the understanding that life is a mystery, there is no such thing as control, maybe there's karma (I just don't know), maybe there's intention, or maybe it's all just random. It doesn't really matter as long as I remain open to what *is*, and not the "if only." So this year I will be cultivating curiosity: about what is, about my response to it, and about what opens as a result. And that also gives you my guiding word for the year. Like Alice, I find myself the most curious of all to see what will happen next!

Creating books of wisdom
I am letting go of my need to be involved in everything that passes me by. I want to watch quietly from the sidelines now while I spend time creating books of wisdom for the young ones who are coming up behind me.

I want to stop wondering what I did wrong as a mother.
I want to stop flagellating myself for not measuring up to somebody else's idea of a "good mother." I want to stop losing sleep over my adult daughters' choices and stop wondering what I did wrong as a mother. This will create vast open spaces in which I will cultivate a gentle, loving relationship with myself and then a gentle, loving relationship with the world.

Create love.
Let go of fear. Create love, just a love that sees the good in everything.
