| 0:00.0 | Welcome to episode |
| 0:02.0 | 2019 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you back to day five of this week's series as you launch into a brand new year and the theme for this week is |
| 0:18.0 | navigating your new year and you have three challenges. You are challenged to select a word to |
| 0:27.8 | represent your year something that's going to act as an anchor or a North Star to guide you throughout your year. |
| 0:36.7 | The second thing your challenge to do is to come up with a totem, something that will represent your year. |
