A New Year's Compass - Tool of Self Alignment for Starting Anew.


Ready for a Fresh Start for the New Year? I am! I feel very excited. It feels like the right time to let go of things that I no longer need or prefer to have in my life anymore and to stand up to new levels of growth and experience. This week, I felt tuned inward, like I've been tending to some inner work and resting, in preparation for a great start in the New Year. As it gets closer, I am more enthusiastic about it. I feel very ready for moving forward.

Exercises to Renew Your Experience and Start Your Year Off Brand New

  • Ring in the New Year by celebrating your experience, growth, and love. Do something that is very fun for *you*.
  • Spruce up your desk area with creative objects such as a new set of colorful pens, an array of sticky notes, a rubber band ball, new pictures, etc. Organizing and cleaning always helps to tidy us up on a deeper level too.
  • Change your internet home page (the website screen you always start on) to something that inspires you. Find one that makes you feel creative, energetic, or relaxed. Update other website shortcuts that you frequent and your desktop background as well. (If you’ve signed up for my What’s Rising Newsletter, you’ve been sent a background that I created which is perfect for this type of stuff. If you don’t have it, email me and I’ll resend it to you).
  • Deep clean the spaces that you rarely clean.  Freshen up your daily tools.
  • Get out and go visit loved ones that you don't get to see enough.
  • Set out some new recent pictures.
  • Nurture yourself with a luxurious bath, revamp your self-care and/or beauty products, and set up some healthy tasty treats in the kitchen.
  • Start a new journal for 2010. Get one that looks attractive to you – one that you are excited to pick up. Take note of the inklings of your newly rising ideas to review again in spring when you officially plant your seeds for the next cycle.
  • Reorganize your messiest area.
  • Ponder: are your actions and decisions based on fear or love? Those are the two root categories of feelings - all are based in some form of a fear or feelings of love. So notice which drives you most. Are you happy with what you find?


This year let's take it up a big notch!  We can ensure this best by putting our full efforts into that which is truly important to us.  By letting go of old practices and concepts, we can breakthrough the recurring patterns that hold us back - move fully beyond them.

Be open to new approaches not influenced by fear or lack, but of love and abundance. Take bold steps of action based on thorough preparation.

Love!

Being Happy - From the *Inside* Out

I've always been a people watcher.  As a young girl, I openly looked at everyone I came in contact with, wondering who was the happiest?  It was a little disheartening during my exploration to uncover that it seemed that almost everyone had a significant amount of unhappiness and troubles in life.  I guess I wanted to live a fairy tale.  Some people, however, had a great time with life, even through its challenges. I noticed that those who were overall most happiest usually had a sense of humor about their experience.  They weren't richer, more beautiful, or better off.  They were just happy with what was and were strong in rolling with it.  Everyone goes through hard times. Being truly happy is not by getting somewhere or accomplishing something.  It is a part of who you are .  It is your character, your essential being, the fabric of you.  Children are often born with a knowing of it, but many of us lose touch with this understand...

Licorice Grandpa

In high school I wrote this story about my beloved Grandpa Chuck.  I just read it again yesterday for the first time in 15 years to my son.  I am very thankful to remember these details I had forgotten and to share the essence of such a wonderful man with my boy.   I also realized how much of an impact he has made on me that still holds in my character today.  In memory of grandpa, here is the story.  Slightly edited. :) Licorice Grandpa My grandpa was simply the best.  There is no way I can describe what an incredible person he was.  He seemed to be the only grandpa alive who was still "a kid" inside.  It is because of these reasons that my grandpa Chuck has made an impact on how I live my life today. One of the best memories I have of my grandpa is going to his house every holiday.  My family would enter my grandparent's huge immaculate house and be overtaken with the strong thick smell of my grandpa's pipe.  As soon as we ...

Love Is

“…And the greatest of all these is love.” ~Corinthians You could explore and study love for your whole lifetime and still never fully understand it. You may only catch a glimpse of its fascinating possibilities. Love is one of those expansive eternal forces - far beyond our senses’ ordinary perception. It is something many dream of, imagine about, and wait for. Some say love is the essence of all there is and that love is the answer. Some say love hurts or it doesn’t even exist. Some prophets say that there is only love or fear at the root of everything - and that love is the only truth. We all have different versions and understandings of love - which evolve throughout our lifetime. They may range from a feeling for a soul mate to one about a favorite shirt. Love can be a sweet nickname or a feared word. Some express it with tenderness, others with strength. Some say I love you to everyone. Some reserve it only for “the one”. Others never say it at all. It can be as simple a...
