facing forward.

Hello Darlings....
I'm so excited to write to you all because today is a massively special day of the year. Today is the day we wave a final goodbye to all the joys and sorrows of the past and we face forward to the new year ahead... which will be here in a matter of hours:) I love the idea of renewal. I even have the words RENEW on the door of my office so that everyday when I walk in, I will see it and it will remind me that today is a new day and I need to renew my mind to all the new possibilities this day has to offer. This past year has been a whirlwind of creativity, travel, laughter, tears, fun, stress and everything in between...
This is the year I feel I truly found myself...well...let me rephrase that...God found me and He introduced me to myself...if that makes any sense...:)
I feel like I know now more then ever what I want from my life and more importantly, what I want to contribute to the world. Now, ladies I know that today you may be scrambling around town trying to find that killer outfit for that special event tonight...but maybe take an hour and do the following:

1. Reflect on the year.
(What were the highlights?)

2. Let go of disappointment...
This was a big one for me...but trust me...you will feel 10 pounds lighter!
This includes forgiving yourself, if you feel disappointed by your own actions.
Lighten up and let go!

3. Forgive others.
Nothing will set you free like when you forgive other people!
plus....most of the time the people we are mad at don't know or don't care...
so why stay angry and let toxins go through your body?!
Choose to forgive them for YOUR SAKE.

4. DREAM!
Close your eyes for a few minutes and let your mind dream.
What if there was nothing in your way?...what would you do? ...
what could you do this year to help other people?
Dreaming is not a waste time... even the bible says
"as a man thinks, so he becomes"
We become what we think about.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! XO
