HAPPY NEW YEAR!


Activities are quieting down somewhat and it is time to delve into new projects. I have received notes from many of you with ponderings for 2004! They offer both challenges and the feeling of security for what lies ahead. Thank you! An affirmation I received with a book from my sis-in-spirit includes, "Dream, explore, and find peace in life's adventure." What a grande concept to keep at center stage!

Some of us are climbing mountains. Some are exploring the deepest seas. There are also those of us who are sitting in the meadow, just absorbing our surroundings. No matter what quest we choose, we are experiencing life as an adventure. Each of us is the author of an episode in which we are the main character. Daily living can be a confident exploration of unlimited opportunities. All that is required is imagination and the ability to grasp the excellence.

When we stop lamenting a lack of opportunity or claiming we did not get the favorable breaks in life, our activities will become exciting and creative. When we lose ourselves constructively in what is happening around us, we find all kinds of pleasant fruits awaiting our recognition.

The adventure begins at the gate of our action. Take a step…

Attitude Creates Enthusiasm


"Unless you live consistent with your deepest (end) values, you'll achieve but still lack the ultimate fulfillment you truly deserve." - Tony Robbins

Do you sense a new atmosphere of enthusiasm?

Enthusiasm for life brings me to thoughts of how I am willing to reach my full potential in this delightful essence.

We have the choice of how to invest each moment: favorable or less favorable. Staying aware is the key. We can attain awareness simply through practice. Whatever method works for you to do this, continue using it!

It all has to do with attitude. Are there areas where we are not satisfied with our attitude? It is simply a matter of deciding to change. Making the decision is the important step. Once that is done, the rest can fall into place.

Awareness must continue to reign to show us where our focus lies. This takes us back to our attitude and the choices we make.

Once we are living within our preferred attitudes and realize how easy it is to do, it provides astonishment to realize or understand why anyone would choose anything less favorable.

I have given myself the gift of taking time for evening stargazing. It brings a sense of peace. It opens the channel for enthusiasm in whatever is happening in the moment.

Enthusiasm is the spice of life!

Listen to the Heart Call

Listen to the heart call
What does it say?
Release lest you fall
Listen day by day.

Listen to the heart speak
What does it say
Sunrise, not bleak
Have a wonderful day.

Listen to the heart call
What do you hear
The Lord hears all
Provides what is dear.

Listen to the heart speak
How do you know
Nudges are opalique
And soft as snow.

Listen to the heart call
What can you do
Without God's et al
You haven't a clue.

Listen to the heart speak
Enjoying every moment
Reveals what you seek
For finding fulfillment.

Listen to the heart call
What do you feel
To feel you are equal
You know it is real.

Listen to the heart speak
The message from above
The call magnifique
With others give love.

We didn't receive any responses for the new phrase for 2004! Do hope you have one that you are using personally!
