Hmm, I think Willow is a bit of a tough call. She'd be so good at so many things that planning for her future would be difficult. Plus, she would want to have a job where she knew she was helping people, so that could limit her choices by a lot. I can see her becoming a doctor, and a damn good one too.
Tara is so empathetic, I see her wanting to work with people who are often overlooked and discarded. I think Tara more than Willow would recognize how difficult it is to plan your life too long term however. You can think you've got your life all figured out and then, suddenly, it all changes in a moment. You round a corner and bump into someone, you go to a WICCA meeting and catch sight of someone interesting and next thing you know, everything you thought life held for you changes.
Life has the potential to be very exciting and unexpected at times. I think it's very important to stay open to that. To not allow oneself to simply ossify in one's current situation just because it's comfortable and familiar. I guess that's part of what is so wonderful about new years -- it allows us to rethink where we are heading and who we are becoming.
I'm happy this new years b/c of all of the unexpected opportunities that lay before me.
I'm particularly excited to see that somethings which have been a bit off kilter are falling back into place, right where they belong. Kinda like that feeling you get when you see that your favorite Pens story has been updated and you read it and realize how perfect and wonderful the world seems again.
Everything as it should be.
