Some folks make New Year’s resolutions, like lose 5 pounds and read more non-fiction. Others think about living with intention, which tends to be more process-oriented, like pay attention and have worthy goals. It means moving out of autopilot and into a meaningful, well-balanced life based on your own conscious choices. And that’s swell, but what about when things are truly falling apart, like they seem to be now? How can we meet this messy life in a way that lets us be awake, wholehearted, and of service?
