Happy New Year

As we begin to think about some possible changes for 2017, it is time to illuminate the world with the light inside of you – don’t wait for the world to change – now is the time to shine – time to rock out all the love that is in you! ...always be the love that YOU are It is also a time to be mindful and set your dreams and goals within reach, and within a place of peaceful acceptance. Respond with accountability to situations that seem to impede your time or grace. The best way to change a bothersome situation is to look within, because that's where it started. One of my favorite quotes from Wayne Dyer "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change," often helps me to recognize this. ...always be the love that YOU are When you look within, there is just you and your Creator. It is a quiet space that recognizes 100% responsibility for what is. What is right before you, and what is right within you come together without judgment for the situation. You accept, allow, and believe that you can change, and that gives you a new starting point. Be present and know that the next breath is new, and that it really just has your breath in it, nothing else – no past, no confrontation, no negative self-talk, nothing to balance, no "situation." ...always be the love that YOU are A big challenge for most of us, is expecting another person to change. Seriously, just breathe a little love their way. You see, they have their own responsibility issues that they are trying to accept in their own situations. We have all grown through the love, grace and help of others along our journey. Now is also a good time to turn your focus to reaching out to those in need. Reach out to be the help that you once needed. ...always be the love that YOU are So NOW really is a refreshing new start - a calendar year full of opportunities. Gently be mindful to realistically balance your relationships, goals, and values. Resolve to keep expanding your gifts and experience the countless blessings that shine through YOU in all that you give. ...always be the love that YOU are Be the change you wish the see in the world. Gandhi

Happy New Year!
