December 31, 2005Mondo Beyondo Part 2
Something I am learning this year is the importance of not simply dreaming and manifesting, but also "completing" (or finding peace with) what came before. To start the new year with a blank slate we also need to acknowledge everything we need to acknowledge about the previous year. What worked? What didn't? What were the upsets and failures? What were the successes and joys? What are you proud of and how did you grow? What really sucked? Once you have said all there is to say about 2005, declare it complete! and move on to the magic of Mondo Beyondo. Then share some of your boldest dreams right here on this site. We want to be inspired by what you are out to create this year and beyond. What is your theme for 2006 and what does your Mondo Beyondo look like? Posted on December 31, 2005 12:14 PMComments

Freedom from fear, procrastination, lack; just to name a few. I can't wait to see what this year is going to bring! Posted by: Chicagoivy at January 9, 2006 07:56 PMI love this post and all it has inspired. I have seen it linked to so many blogs and finally decided to add my comments. My theme for 2006 is Live an Aunthentic Life. My Mondo Beyondo list is to establish a Modern National Women's Organization that fosters creativity and community. My Wildest Dream is for the Organization to be sponsored by Oprah Winfrey. lending m35 tree Posted by: lending m35 tree at January 7, 2006 11:58 AMrevitol Posted by: revitol at January 7, 2006 10:17 AMMondo Beyondo 2006 Be wildly in love with myself!

Hi there - To Joy! Maria Dahvana Headley Posted by: Maria Dahvana Headley at January 5, 2006 11:19 AM2006-"the year of goodness!" being good to myself,seeing the goodness in myself, seeing the goodness in others, finding the goodness in every day, every tiny moment, giving goodness to the people in my life, finding the goodness everywhere i look, treating myself good, giving myself good things and taking in all of the goodness. My theme for 2006 is FOCUS and here's my MONDO BEYONDO list: * Visit Cuba, Myanmar and Petra (Jordan) Happy New Year! 2006 is going to be my year of Creativity...getting artistic, creativity in the kitchen, creating new friendships in my new city, creating more love, more peace in myself and those around me, and creating the life I dream of one step at a time. I'm struggling with my Mondo Beyondo list- I seem to be too scared to even write it down! Anyone else have this problem?!! Oh well, I'm going to work through it today. Happy New Year, Andrea! I love your site! Andrea 2006 is 'The Year of Creating (for) Me.' I'm usually making and doing for others - saying yes when I really want to say no because I'm afraid (of guilt, missing out on something, disappointing someone). This year I will focus on saying yes to: And I will do so with less trepidation. Posted by: Carrie at January 5, 2006 06:14 AMhi andrea, i've decided that this year will be all about Learning new things aswell as saying "Yes", instead of "but..", "if only..", etc. thank you for all your inspiring posts, i truly enjoy reading them. happy new year! Posted by: amirah at January 5, 2006 12:27 AMI think I've got two themes for this year. I love this post. It has really had me thinking. Jenn Posted by: Jenn at January 4, 2006 07:29 PMYou'll be happy to know I sat down on New Year's Eve and made up my Mondo Beyondo list. But I have had a hard year, filled with grief and regret...I simply just couldn't go back over the year. Yes, I probably learned more than I would have in an ordinary year. I did make my Mondo Beyondo list though. This is my "Career Year". My list: *Teach myself at least one software programming language Oooh, it's all so very exciting. Thanks for inspiring me, Andrea. Posted by: Kelly at January 4, 2006 04:50 PMThis is my Year of Flight! (I've been coddling my creative side a bit of late; time to shove it out of the nest! :) Best wishes to all for excellent Mondo Beyondos, and thanks to you, Andrea, for inspiring us always! Posted by: Sarah at January 4, 2006 02:20 PM2006 will by my year of GOING FOR IT! Too many things to list, but I'm not going to put them off anymore. I'm not going to let lack of money, time, or courage stop me! : ) Posted by: Jennifer at January 4, 2006 11:42 AM2005 held heartbrake and heart joys. I Learned that i can be loved without abuse or neglect. i learned i can be paid what i'm worth. I learned that releasing control to the universe, however scary, can be infinately rewarding. I learned that you must "feed the right wolf". I learned that I grow stronger all the time, and I don't always give myself that credit. I learned that I'm going to be OK. Better tahn ok... I"m gonna come out on top. with that said, i now link you to my mondo beyondo list. http://yummyteece.blogspot.com/2006/01/mondo-beyondo.html Posted by: Teece at January 4, 2006 11:38 AM2006 will be my Year of More: making more art, visit more galleries, more new friends, more travel, more new opportunities. . . . . really just make a lot more happen in my life. Posted by: katie at January 4, 2006 10:40 AMAndrea, I love Mondo Beyondo and your whole New Year's reflection plan (what I learned, etc). I did it again this year and it's my new tradition. :) Posted by: LB at January 3, 2006 10:09 PMI've have just recently discovered your blog, and I just wanted to tell you it is beautiful. I have truley been touched. Thank You. Posted by: Joshua Smith at January 3, 2006 10:02 PMI just re-read in your archives my 2005 mondo beyondo. wow. It's always interesting to look back at your idealistic self. For me 2006 will be the year of "liberation" and the year of being "unstuck" (I feel stuck in the same sense that Charlotte out of Lost In Translation describes feeling stuck) from all my crappy disorganisation and procrastination and messiness. For me, this will be the Year of Balance. I've spent most previous years either being too focused on work/futures, or too focused on leisure and playing. Both have their consequences. Over the last few months I've wiggled into a space that feels right with those, and plan to carve it into a natural habit to have the best of both worlds. Mondo Beyondo? Finishing a book I've been trying to write for 10 years. And home exchanging, all over the globe. Posted by: Tonya at January 3, 2006 04:34 PMMine's MOVEMENT. I'm going to be on the move this year. You can't stop it, oh no, you can not stop it. Posted by: daphne at January 3, 2006 01:57 PMFor me, I think this will be a Year of Discovery...of myself, deeper caverns in my creativity, and testing my self-discipline. I am starting my own business and getting married this summer...if all goes well, and I hope to bend and flow with that adventure and discover new ways of living and learning. Posted by: españa at January 3, 2006 01:41 PMthis is the year of YES, for my visions to become realities, my visions of what i see in my body, my work, my community, my family, my marriage, and for my son. here are a few: yes yes yes!!!!!!!! I am drawing and writing in my journal every day!!!! YES YES YES!! Hey Andrea...I've never posted on your blog before and this is actually about an older post...the Weepies one. I just wanted to say thank you for the heads up on the cd on iTunes. I love their music (which I totally found out on blogs I visit in the first place!). Was more than pleased to find out I could have another fix so soon after getting their first cd...and I've passed it on to fellow fans. Thanks again!!! Posted by: amy J. at January 3, 2006 08:39 AMFor me, this is The Year of Creative Flow. I'm planning to nurture (and recover) my creative self, grow my 'seedling' creative business, hopefully move into a new home where I will create a fabulous studio for myself, and infuse my walls, my wardrobe, and my life with color. My Mondo Beyondo list would have to include, at the very least: * Being wildly successful (financially and otherwise) as an artisan/artist and writer. * Living in a warm climate and *still* having my family close by (... because I will convince them all to move, too). At the very least, winter someplace warm :-) * A beautiful, bright and cozy home in the country that is also not too far from the beach * Publishing a book * Taking a spa vacation every year * Getting completely organized ... and staying that way * Having more than enough time to do everything I want to do each day * Getting tickets to the Oprah show and finding out it's her 'Favorite Things' show. Whoopee! Posted by: maria at January 3, 2006 08:02 AMIt's my 'Year of Me'. Time to really focus on me and my relationship with myself. Also cut out the things that don't make me happy and don't represent who I am. I'm really excited about it. It's goign to be my best year yet! Posted by: Amanda at January 3, 2006 07:54 AMI posted two down about doing things i'm not supposed to be doing but didn't include the correct url address (fixed now) - and i'm posting again because i'd really like to hear about anyone else who feels like they're doing what others might think they "aren't supposed to be doing"... Posted by: jennifer at January 3, 2006 07:48 AMThis is going to be "Jen's Year of DOING IT"... YES!!! loves. Posted by: Jen D at January 3, 2006 07:43 AMone theme of my mondo beyondo is doing things i'm "not supposed to be doing"...staying in a doctoral program in michigan for the assistantship and health insurance so that i can simultaneously meet with a group of about twenty women in kentucky - where we will nourish our creativity and our voices, confront our fears, and share our writing so that we can help others do the same. this involves lots of money and time and scheduling issues, and long periods away from my four year old son & partner, but i get goose bumps when i think about this chance to claim something out of the ordinary for myself & so, i'm doing it. and love. this year i'm going to learn how to let myself love and be loved even though it scares me very much. i'm going to display my collages, trust that i'll get what i need from the universe, be as authentic as i possibly can, even if people think i'm strange. even if i have to work through caring that people think i might be strange. what lies beneath all of this is my willingness to go down into the darkness, into whatever i fear, and spend some time with it. as helen luke (and i think she takes this from rumi) suggests, i'm going to be courteous to the monsters, to the scary things. i have learned that when i face my fears i gain something valuable and move forward, but this is something i always have to try and be conscious of - so it has to be on the mondo beyondo list… i think that's a good start :-) Posted by: jennifer at January 3, 2006 07:42 AM2006 will be the year that I find the self I lost long ago....Finding me in 2006....Thank you Andrea and Happy New Year. Posted by: Christine at January 3, 2006 01:20 AMThe mondo beyondo idea sent a delicious thrill through me to think about. I think I will declare 2006 the year of living more dangerously. Posted by: Sandra at January 2, 2006 07:41 PMMy theme for 2006 is "The Sky's The Limit." Why set easily accomplished new years resolutions, when you can challenge yourself to new heights? Posted by: G-Man at January 2, 2006 07:40 PMMondo Beyondo, Mondo Beyondo, YAY!!!! In addition to making 2006 my year of "yes"...I am also making it my year of, "do just 1 thing different." It will all begin by me doing 1 little thing different each day. Whether it be getting up 5 minutes earlier to begin the day with a positive affirmation, or making a healthier food choice at breakfast, throwing out junk mail insread of putting it in a pile on my kitchen table, or whatever. I am hoping that these tiny little postive changes will expand throughout my days to become an effortless part of my routine and by the end of 2006 I will be healthier, more peaceful, more organized. etc... I also think that the Mondo Beyondo list sounds amazing. I am really going to do it this year,and hopefully put some substance into those long range plans and dreams that I keep putting on the back burner. Thanks for your wonderful, helpful ideas and always creative inspiration! :) Posted by: Julia at January 2, 2006 05:58 PMI put my list here: http://www.43things.com/person/tuckergurl Thanks so much for your site and all of your inspiration words! Posted by: angela at January 2, 2006 04:18 PMMy Mondo Beyondo 2006 is here: www.travelswithtoni.com/blog I got so much out of it from 2005 that I've blogged about it again and encouraged others to join in! My 2006 will be "The Year of Success." Ready to take my freelance writing business to the next level and tackle some health-related stuff successfully, too. Posted by: Toni at January 2, 2006 03:16 PMI think I've decided that my 2006 is going to be the year of taking control. I have so many years in my recent past where I planned to start a regular exercise program, take my lunch (instead of buying it), stick to a financial budget, write every day, etc. And each year I end up feeling like all or many of these activities or goals are out of my control. It's one thing to consciously change priorities - it's another thing to allow my life to get out of my control. So this year, I'm taking control, figuring out what's important in order to make my life more the way I want it to be. Thank you for all of your writing. I'm so glad you're in the world. Posted by: Jessamyn at January 2, 2006 02:52 PMThe Year of Yes- My Mondo Beyondo: I'm gonna write a book. Maybe I won't finish it this year, but it's gonna happen. I'm also starting my own online book club this year. It's gonna be great and provide me all those things my "real" book club can't give me anymore - insightful comments on interesting books from brilliant women. I can't wait. Posted by: MamaChristy at January 2, 2006 02:08 PMThe Year of Manifestation First of all, the entire idea of Mondo Beyondo is *brilliant* and inspiring, like so many other things I find here at your home on the web. So for perhaps the umpteenth time, Andrea, a big thank you. Mine is The Year of Finding Balance: I'm excited! Posted by: penelope at January 2, 2006 12:34 PMThe year of new things. This is the year of The Book! I'm writing a book and this is the year I complete that book. This is where my passion is. I believe the reason I was born is to follow my passions and the world will be a better place. (I think this is true for all of us!) Thanks Andrea! Posted by: Lissa at January 2, 2006 11:14 AMI too like "The Year of Yes!" - it spoke to me and I haven't stopped thinking about it. Now I really need to start thinking of the Mondo Beyondo list!!! Posted by: stef at January 2, 2006 11:14 AMThis is my year of creativity. I'm starting an online magazine to help other creative people who've never express themselves do so -- for artists and writers, primarily. It launches this month, and 2006 will be the year it becomes a resounding success!! What a wonderful idea, Andrea! K. Posted by: Chookooloonks at January 2, 2006 10:51 AMmy theme for 2006 is completing... because i tend to just dream and manifest too. i'd like to complete some things this year. thank you for this inspiration and idea! xoxo Posted by: Bohemiangirl at January 2, 2006 10:46 AMLearning and growing, an old but refreshing idea. Thank you for reminding me of this. My theme for 2006 is finding an inner sanctuary. Happy New Year! Posted by: steph at January 2, 2006 10:25 AMYou know I love this concept. My theme for 2006 is peace. Posted by: Ali at January 2, 2006 10:08 AMAndrea, if you don't mind, I really think I am going to adopt your phrase "the year of yes" Thank you for that post, and all of your posts. Cheers Posted by: wn at January 2, 2006 10:00 AM |
