Happy New Year of endless possibilities!

Hi everyone, welcome to our new website and welcome 2011! I am sitting here on my puffy chair, sipping a wonderful smoky-flavored black tea from Chados teahouse, watching the 1st snowfall outside my window.  I love this time of year. It reminds me of my childhood in Connecticut. I used to love to wake up to the morning of the first snow. I would open the front door to a silent wonderland. The snow would be like a huge white blanket that muffled out all sound. I would listen...silence…peace.

This is a wonderful time of year for new beginnings. I am not one to make New Year resolutions, but I love to think about the amazing possibilities of what is to come. This is a great time to visualize and get excited about new creations that you can manifest.

Today, take a moment. Put up your feet. Grab a cup of steaming tea, special coffee, or hot chocolate (with marshmallows, of course). Take out some paper and make a list of all your heart’s desires. As you write, feel the excitement of each dream coming true. What would you do if they did come to pass? Dream big! Do not let the “voice of reason” enter. Do not let old beliefs hold you back. Take this day, this New Year, and see yourself as the person you have always known you could be. Make this year the one that you say, “Enough of the old. I am moving forward!”

the pond and the egret fade
into the clouds
