Happy New Year everyone!!
My cousin Cindy in Texas (have
another in Arizona) sent this most perfect New Year’s resolution to us and it
is worded so beautifully that it needed to be passed on here. 
May each of you find this wonderful
new year full of success and happiness, and may it fill your hearts to
overflowing with love.
Namaste!
Light, Life, & Love.

Hello!
Every
single morning of the year we awaken to a brand new day filled with unlimited
possibilities. We can be who we have been with all of our worries,
baggage and regrets intact or we can decide to enter the day focused on what is
good and right in our lives. Nowhere in the year is this choice more conscious
than on New Year’s Day. It really is a day like any other but we have all
agreed to make believe it is special and because we have all agreed, it is.
And so we make grandiose plans for ourselves for the year to come and
hope some of them come to pass.
But
what if, this year we do it differently? What if this year, instead of
mapping out our personal blueprint for the next twelve months, we forget about
ourselves? What if this year, ALL, 100% of our wishes are for the good of
others. What if we wish for the people we love instead of
ourselves? What if we send out wishes for what they want? What if
we wish that they lose dangerous weight or quit a crippling habit
or find employment, find God, find happiness, lighten up, learn to
forgive, get to travel, regain their health, find patience, eat better, get out
of a relationship, get into a relationship, learn to laugh again, appreciate
what they already have. What if this New Year wasn’t about us at all but
all about them? What if we just kept on working on our stuff like we have
been (and keeping our fingers crossed that we are making progress) and use all
of our New Year’s wishes for others?
It’s
not as big a sacrifice as you would imagine. There would be no
resolutions to keep, no lists of what you will do differently, no reluctant
meals or exercises but if you would look around in a little while, you would
realize that others really are being affected by your wishes for them, the
world will suddenly seem to be getting a little brighter, the people that you
wish good for will suddenly feel closer to you, you will suddenly start walking
a little lighter. The difference that you wanted to make in the world
will have started.
With these
thoughts in mind, I wish you a wonderful New Year filled with happiness
and peace of mind and I wish that everyone you love is benefited by your
New Year’s resolutions.
Love and
Blessings,
Cindy
