HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's 2010 ya'll...

Well, the day is here that we have awaited for 365 days now. It’s 2010, and we must ask ourselves what type of person will we be? The type who always wonders what happened, always watches things happen, always wait for things to happen or the person who will courageously make things happen? As we leave our daily footprints in the sands of life, let them be so positive and unique that when people bend over to look at them, they will be the types of tracks that everyone will know led to your greatness!

Cherish every day and never take them for granted. You never know when you may be looking at your last minute. Here’s to your good health, the love within, unlimited prosperity, the presence of peace and the pursuit of happiness.

“Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.”
- Robert F. Kennedy

Happy New Year everyone!

2010 New Year’s Thanks-olution!

As we embark on this final lap of 2009, may we reflect on the goals we accomplished, the progress and contributions we made, the lessons we learned, the people we helped, the food we fed our spirits and the way we renewed the fire of our gifts. So often, we fall into a trap of making New Year’s Resolutions that we rarely manage to keep after the first week or two of the New Year.

I am in favor of setting practical and obtainable goals, not just at the beginning of a new year, but throughout the year. Is there something from 2009 that you would like to change and make better in 2010 and beyond? So often, we seek to improve our finances, lessen our debts, take more vacations, find a better job, lose weight or get a better education on January 1st. Our failures thereafter, are sometimes attributed to a lack of vision and “discipline.” Your goals require activation in order to work.

If you are the consummate resolution maker and breaker, here is something slightly different that I would like to suggest. Create a “Thankful Journal.” This thankful journal needs to have at least one daily entry. That’s at least 365 entries for the year. Everyone has something to be thankful for, whether you acknowledge it or not. You could be thankful for good health, an unexpected gift someone gave you that day, grateful that you didn’t get into an accident while driving to and from your destination, or that God kept you and your family safe and sound for that day. Also in your Thankful Journal, you could include how appreciative you are to make a progressive step towards a goal you want to accomplish during the year.

As you go about your daily routine, remember to exemplify your nine fruits of the spirit: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance. Remember to be thankful that you are able to make a positive difference and impact in your part of the world. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us. We had yesterday and have the present moment. So live life passionately and with purpose. Don’t forget to dance to the music, have fun and laugh contagiously like a child.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Wishing you abundant peace and blessings, now and forevermore.
