2008 - is the year for NEW beginnings

Through out 2007- much has happened in our lives ... some AMAZING moments - some "not so good" moments - said more good-byes than I thought my heart could handle - spent time with family I didn't get a chance to know up until now - welcomed new little ones into the world and watched their "firsts" through their eyes of wonder ... in everything we have experienced this past year, it helped me find clarity into what is important to me & what I intend to focus on for this NEW YEAR...2008

It is important for me to live my dreams and to not care about the "stuff" people will say about me - it truly is not about ME if it's coming out of someone else's mouth.

I have a divine purpose to being on this earth - it is up to me, my thoughts, my actions, my words, to illuminate the truth & light God has instilled in my soul.

It is important for me to "listen" to my inner self who knows the potential my earth mind is still trying to understand.

It is important for me to know that I do not have to do the things I do not want to do - just to make someone else happy - if it doesn't make me happy... I don't have to do it and IT'S OKAY! (this truly was a revelation for me).

It is important for me to know, that people on earth are human, and will be jealous, they will forever compare, "long to be", steal ideas, say things to make themselves "be" better than, try to do things to "be" better than, try to control, be manipulative, be hurtful, steal money from their parents and feel justified in doing so, say hurtful things and not even know it, say hurtful things to hurt, marry people just so they are not alone, view/treat the world in a self-centered way... etc - But the biggest lesson thus far and a concept I am still learning to practice is that ... it's not for me to worry about. I need to let people walk their path - whatever that looks like, sounds like, and feels like - and know that I don't have to walk along someone else's path who's "energy" does not match mine. period.

I need to be impeccable to my word - speak the truth - ask for clarification instead of assuming - choose my battles wisely - say sorry when I have hurt - say I love you every chance I get - tell people how they have touched my life. Love God.

This New Year - 2008 - is literally the start of the whole "cycle" again. For those of you who follow Chinese Horoscope (yes, I am part Chinese - along with Hawaiian, Japanese, German) - the year of the Rat is the start of it all... So here is to New Beginnings - here is to dreams yet to be lived - here is to living impeccably to our word - here is to being your BEST self - here is to appreciating the beauty that surrounds. It truly is a DAILY CHOICE.

Scripture that is speaking to me:
"Wherever your treasure is, there your heart and thoughts will also be" - Luke 12:34

I hope we all CHOOSE our treasure wisely.

May God just flood your heart and mind with abundance - and may you walk YOUR path in God's light and love.
