Hello, and welcome to a brand new year!  Every year, around this time, everyone is expected to have their new year’s resolution.  I’ve had the typical ones in the past:  lose weight, exercise more, blah, blah…  but this year, I’ve decided to step it up a notch, and stretch myself farther than ever before.

This year I want to say yes to the opportunities that Life presents.  No more waiting for things to happen to me, no more passing up on things because I’m in fear that I might miss out on something else.  I want to jump in the River and be in the Flow this year.  I want to follow my heart and live as One with everything.  I want to practice “You are Me also” in everything I do.  I want to experience more in this single year than I have in all my previous 26 years of life.

What is this going to entail for me?

I’m going to have to stop living in fear, and begin living in love (not just in word, but in actual deed as well).  No more worrying about things that ultimately don’t matter like food, clothing, and shelter.  If I want to do something, then I want to do it this year!  No more talking about it, or daydreaming the thing to death.  It’s great to have dreams, but I’ve evolved to the point where I’m ready to create reality out of my dreams.

And what about you, dear Reader?  What will your year be like?  Will you end up in the same place, having gone nowhere and done nothing?

I often joke with my friend that there’s no way 2009 can be worse than 2008 (I went through a lot of painful growing), but it could be, if I don’t use what I’ve learned from 2008.

Ultimately it was 2008 that inspired me to live my 2009 in such a way.  As a celebration of making it out of 2008 alive.  And I hope I’m still celebrating living in 2010, but I’m not worried about it if I’m not

Whatever you’ve decided 2009 will look like, I hope you that you make it a beautiful reality.  Don’t just wait for Prince Charming to come swoop you off your feet this year, become a Princess first, if you want a Prince.  (and vice versa for all you guys out there, if you want the girl of your dreams than first become the man of hers)

Love you all, and as always, think about it!
