Sacred Year-End Practice

 

December each year we share with you a practice to assist with consideration of the year behind, the present moment, and the year ahead.

This year in particular, so much has been cleared away. The soil of our lives is prepared for the planting of new seeds.

Here is an excerpt from our offering. Enjoy the PDF as our gift. Try printing it and taking some time over the holiday break to consider your intentions for the spring growth ahead.

Planting Seeds

  • Specifically what is it that I wish to focus on or experience in the coming year?
  • If I could see into the future, what wishes, longings, or creations will I bring to fruition?
  • How will I be, or engage my energies?
  • If I could sum up all my desires and longings into one simple statement, what would it be?
  • Who or what is served by my intentions and clarity?

Planting a seed for Year of Wealth 2021:

Inner Money Map

The Inner Map identifies our mind states and experiences when we are in creative brain or reactive brain. We will explore how these mind states interface with our money relationship.

Be on the lookout for information about this group journey next year, available to you and your friends.


Statistics and Numbers

While we wanted to present a soft end to this challenging year, we know some of you love numbers and data, and they are important. So here are some numbers and data 🙂

Coronavirus (graph to right)

We were struck by the graph to the right. Although the values are from two weeks ago, the ratios will remain. We thought the numbers per 100k, by country, were worth noting, and different from what we’ve been hearing in the news.

Medicare (table below)

The basic Medicare Part B monthly premium will rise for 2021 to $148.50. Upper-income seniors will pay more for Part B coverage next year if their modified adjusted gross income for 2019 exceeded $176,000 for joint filers or $88,000 for single people. Here, modified AGI is AGI plus any tax-exempt interest. For Part B coverage, they pay the $148.50 basic monthly premium plus a surcharge. They also owe a surcharge on their monthly part D premiums for prescription drugs.
The table below summarizes the impact for upper-incomers.

Closing the Year of Wealth 2020 – Going Green

Back in 2019, ten years ago, when co-creating with Sarah Sutton on the Year of Wealth for 2020 – Going Green, we never knew what was in store for us. Yet, even in the midst of a pandemic and other challenges this year that have might have taken us away from the Going Green teachings, Sarah Sutton delivered gorgeous information and wisdom for us.

We thank you, Sarah, for your steadfast care and attention to this vital, important and never-ending topic. Beyond knowledge, we know that sustainable practices are a continual recommitment and choice. And, we know that the topics and information you have provided are timeless and renewable.

Colman Knight looks forward to choosing sustainable practices, and welcomes others to join us.
