Claim your own power

Today is a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Capricorn! It's like fireworks from the heavens!

Solar Eclipses bring new dramatic beginnings. I am told that there is nothing subtle about them and they often initiate lasting connections and fateful changes. New Moons are always a potent time for setting intentions and planting seeds for your desires and Solar Eclipses expand that energy exponentially. Therefore, today is the perfect time to set your intentions for the entire year. When you do, make a commitment to yourself (with the assistance of your Higher Self) that you will commit to your dreams. Promise yourself that you will own your power and move through your fears to take ACTION on elevating your life. You have everything it takes within you and the force of the cosmos around you, guiding you on your gorgeous journey. Today, enjoy this initiation into the next glorious chapter of your new beautiful life.

Just for today, I claim my own power and lovingly create my own reality. And so it is.

Authenticity

"Be yourself, everyone else is taken."

Why do we find it so hard to be proud of our unique individuality, warts and all? Perhaps, we've all conditioned by our culture and society to believe that it’s more important to be liked and to fit in than it is to be who we truly are.Or perhaps it's just frightening to show the world who we really are. Whatever the reason, this year it is time that we all become authentically ourselves. It is time to, become aware of when and where you hide your authentic self. Where, when and with whom have you been trying to live up to the expectations of others, trying to be what you think others want you to be.

Becoming self aware is the first and most critical step for embracing authenticity as your way of life. Once you recognize and become aware of when, where and with whom you are choosing to fit in with or to not ‘rock the boat, you can then make the choice to change, to become authentically you. Know that it can feel very uncomfortable expressing your true opinions or taking a stand to live in alignment with what feels true for you. It can be really scary to put your real self out into the world. But if you spend your life being fearful of being real, you’ll live in the shadows of your true self and miss out on the joy of true authenticity. Today, allow yourself to become aware of your uniqueness. Focus on the beauty and originality that you bring to the world by being yourself. Celebrate the wonderful person you are, and forgive yourself lovingly for the areas where you think you fall short. You’re only human after all. We all are. Today embrace your imperfection and celebrate everything about you!

Just for today, as I move through the layers of other people's opinions and beliefs, I see within myself a magnificent being, wise and beautiful. I love what I see when I look inside me. Other people love me when I am myself. I am my own unique beautiful soul and everyone loves me. And so it is

Self-discipline

No personal success, achievement, or goal, can be realized without self-discipline. It is perhaps the most important attribute needed to achieve any type of personal excellence. Being disciplined does not mean living a limiting or a restrictive lifestyle. Nor, does it mean that you have to give up everything you enjoy, or relinquish fun and relaxation. It does mean learning how to focus your mind and energies on your goals and to persevere until they are accomplished. It also means cultivating a mindset in which you are ruled by your deliberate choices rather than by your emotions, bad habits, or through the influence of others. In truth, self-discipline allows you to reach your goals in a reasonable time frame and to live a more orderly and satisfying life.

Today, I am told that Saturn is joining with the Sun, which will remind you and me that we need to be very conscious about our next steps. We need to be focused and committed to doing what we have been guided to do and to create the daily practices that will support us in doing so. And in doing so, you and me will be helping to make our goals and dreams come true. We will be creating the future that we desire.

Just for today, I am willing to learn something new every day. I ask for more understanding so that I may knowingly and lovingly shape my world and my experiences. I will not allow noise, chatter or setbacks to distract me. I will allow patience, commitment, purpose and grace to guide me. I am relentless. I persist. I keep going. I have the freedom and power to create the life I desire. And so it is.

Starting over

Happy New Year! It is time for you to get ready for unimaginable good that is coming your way this year. Everything you desire is about to become your reality, and sooner than you think. After an atypically tumultuous and exhausting year, my numerology and astrology friends tell me that the Universe is finally easing up on us!

In numerology, 2019 is a 3 Universal Year (2 + 0 + 1 + 9 = 12, and 1 + 2 = 3) and the number 3 carries a powerful energy, which influences EVERYONE on the planet and sets our collective course for the new calendar year. 3 is also the number of creation, manifestation and self-expression, and carries a lightness and confidence that you haven’t felt for years! Although it may have seemed like you’ve been waiting an eternity for this year to come, you had important work to do first and that is why the last two years have been so challenging for you and me. But, this is the year that everything changes for you. In fact, 2019 will be the year in which you bounce back bigger and better than ever before! So, if you’re ready to leave last year in your dust and start the new year off right, begin today to only look forward. Starting over doesn’t have to be difficult. It can be immediate and adventurous and exciting. It can be exhilarating and fun. And, starting over can be all of those things and begins with one decision. Just one. To leto go of what was and to embrace what will be.

Today, make a conscious decision to begin anew, starting with letting go of last year/the past. Letting go can feel like a loss. That’s because it is. But every loss paves the way for a gain, if we’re willing to receive it. Every time you let something go, you open yourself up to something better. Today, consciously decide to begin again, to begin anew.

Just for today, I release the past with love and begin a positive new chapter in my life. I begin anew and claim and create all that is good. I choose to make the rest of my life the best of my life. And so it is

Happy New Year!

You can make your life anything you want it to be because you have freedom of choice. You can choose to stay stuck and bitter or you can choose to do yourself a favor by willingly forgiving what happened in the past and moving beyond it. So as you begin this new year, make a conscious decision to release yourself from the past and embrace your bright, blessed and promising future. Today, do not look back. You have unlimited possibilities, potential and opportunities that lie before you in this new year and in truth the only thing that limits you is YOU and your thoughts and fears. This New Year live consciously-know that life happens for you and all you need to do is to stop struggling, look and listen within and follow your heart not your big brain , which is stopping you from living your life to the fullest with it's expectations and "grand" plans. Today, let go and allow life to love you and most importantly love yourself no matter what.

Just for today, I release the past and bless this last year with love. I am grateful for all that I have experienced and learned. Today, begins a new adventure and I look forward to it eagerly. I am safe. I am loved and all is truly well in my world. Happy New Year!

Change...

"Change is one of our greatest teachers. It asks us every day to prove our commitment to ourselves. It leads us into dark places and allows us to fill them with light. It shows us things about ourselves that we never knew. And, before we know it, it shows us how powerful and strong we are."

This new year set your intentions to allow change to happen in your life. This change does not come from your head but rather from your heart. Step into this New Year with the intention of choosing happiness for yourself and for those around you. Happiness is truly an inside job and regardless of what's happening around you, your thoughts always create your reality. Today, allow yourself to flow with the energies of change and embrace this wondrous gift of life, along with its mystery and excitement, into the unknown-into a new year. Happy New Year! Happy New Life!

Just for today, I am willing to change. I recognize that in order to change my life on the outside, I must change inside first. The moment I am willing to change it is amazing how the Universe begins to help me. It brings me what I need. I now flow easily and effortlessly with new experiences, new challenges and new people who enter my life. I am safe. It is only change and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Joy!

“There is no need to reach high for the stars. They are already within you. Just reach deep into yourself!”

Everyone is so busy these days and it is that business that gives us our sense of self-worth; if we’re busy, we’re successful, we’re accomplishing things, we’re important, and we’re needed. As a result we can often be too busy to notice if we are happy, and potential moments of joy pass us by.

Happiness is not about a final destination of pure perfection, but more about a journey through life, with moments of perfection sprinkled throughout-that is if we just stop to notice them.There are two main ingredients for experiencing joy every day. The first is living in the present moment. The second ingredient for happiness is gratitude. If we appreciate all that we’re fortunate to have, rather than spending our time and energy going after what we don’t have, we’ll experience more joy. Today, rather than waiting for happiness to arrive, change your my perspective to realize that your happiness and joy has been there all along, you just never noticed it. Today, look for the happiness and joy, which is always available to you in every moment of every day, including today.

Just for today, my day begins and ends with gratitude and joy. I express the joy of living and allow myself to enjoy every moment of every day. I am totally free to choose thoughts of joy. It is my divine right to do so. I know that what I concentrate on is exactly what I will attract. Joy brings joy. I am dancing with joy and my optimism is contagious. I now choose to believe that all is truly well in my world and every day gets better. And so it is

Forgive!!

"When you forgive you don't change the past, you change the future." As 2018 comes to an end, it may be time to reflect on this past year. If you are holding onto any grudges or frustrations, it is time to let them go so that you can start your New Year fresh and free of your past. Today, begin to look at all your relationships and see who you can forgive. You may even find it helpful to write down everyone you need to forgive and then release their energy with love; to write down any hard feelings you are still holding on to and meditate about the lessons that you have gained from your experiences; to write down everything that you need to forgive about YOURSELF and release it with love; to write down what you want to experience next year and what you are grateful for. Today, set your intentions to forgive, to be kind to yourself now and moving forward. Send blessings to your past, the people in your past, your present and of course, your future, which begins today. Forgiveness will set you free!

Just for today, I now choose to release all hurt and resentments. I am willing to forgive. I forgive everyone in my past for all perceived wrongs. I release them with love. They are now free and I am now free to move forward with love in my heart. I forgive myself for not being perfect. I am living the best way I know how. I am ready to be healed. I am willing to forgive and all is truly well in my world. And so it is

Authenticity

"Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we are supposed to be and embracing who we actually are.”

The challenges of 2018 have made it painfully clear the many ways you have been hiding the TRUE YOU from the world. It showed you how you've suppressing your beautiful unique self. And, all those challenges happened so that you can fully express your authentic self in the coming year.

In 2019, you will learn to share your UN-edited authentic self with the world. In 2019, you will be encouraged to share what's in your heart. Today, begin to recognize, understand and integrate the lessons that 2018 taught you and me. In truth, if it weren't for the challenges we experienced this past year, which helped to bring the frightened parts of ourselves to light, they would have remained in the shadows and the world would have been denied our gifts.There is so much energy supporting you to re-invent yourself next year, today be willing to let go of the fear of the new and changing. Do not look back longingly on your past because it is done.Be in the moment, present, and at peace with your true authentic self and set yourself free to be.

Just for today, I let go of all expectations. People, places and things are free to be themselves and I am free to be me. I am not my parents or their patterns. I am my own true self and I am free. I am a beautiful unique soul. I am safe. I am loved and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Impeccable to Word and Deed

"Be Impeccable with Your Word."

Most of us consider ourselves good people. We recycle, give to charity, volunteer for causes and generally try to do the right thing when we have the opportunity. Yet most good people also lie quite frequently. We lie for many reasons-to keep from insulting or wounding someone we care about, to smooth over conflict or to make someone happy.

In truth, we most often lie to make our own reality more comfortable! But lying, just as with other careless uses of language, such as making false promises or gossiping, or trying to sound authoritative on topics you don’t fully understand — has many negative consequences.

When your words don’t match your actions, you lose a measure of healthy ownership and control over your life. Careless language undermines your relationships, chips away at your sense of self and decreases your personal power. Today, begin to recognize how often you don't tell the truth to yourself or others for whatever reason you and your ego made up; how often do you say you'll do something and never do it and in truth never had any intention of doing it and how often do you not care about the words that come out of your mouth? Then, begin to choose your words more carefully, more compassionately and more wisely. When you choose to be impeccable to word and deed, you will gain so much self respect, control over your life and a sense of peace, Your truth will set you free.

Just for today, I speak with integrity. I recognize that every word I speak is an affirmation. I choose to speak honestly and positively so that I can create an exceptional life. I use the power of my words in the direction of truth and love. It is safe to speak my truth. Each day I express more fully the inner strength and beauty of my true being. Life supports me in every possible way. And so it is.

Mistakes

“The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.” It’s okay to make mistakes. So many of us are too concerned with perfection. In fact, sometimes we become so concerned about being "perfect" that we don't give ourselves a chance to really learn anything new because if we don’t do it perfectly in the first three minutes, we assume we are not good enough. And, heaven forbid we make a mistake!

Today, begin to recognize that mistakes are merely stepping stones on your journey. They are in truth incredibly valuable because they are your teachers. So, stop punishing yourself for making mistakes. Be willing to learn and grow from each mistake you make. Show yourself compassion, look for the lesson and allow your mistakes to serve as the next step toward fulfillment in your life. Today, as you begin to do new things for a New Year, recognize that we all make mistakes when we are learning. It’s the forward motion that’s important, no matter how small. Today cut yourself a break, allow yourself to make mistakes and in doing so you will allow yourself to move forward into your future without fear!

Just for today, I love and accept myself even though I make mistakes. When I make a mistake I realize that it is only a part of the learning process. I forgive myself for not being perfect. I am living the best way I know how. I am in the process of making positive changes in every area of my life and everything is working out for my highest good And so it is.

You are a gift!

Somewhere underneath all our fears, insecurities, and hurts, we each have a light. And, your light may actually be brighter because of the darkness you've experienced. However, in order to access your light, you need to take a deep breath and see beyond all the weight you've been lugging around with you this year. You need to clear your head and heart of worries and resentments and choose to be fully where you are. Today, give yourself the gift of freedom from the past. Know that in this moment, you are worthy, beautiful, and valuable to the world around you. Believe it and then act on it by doing something from your heart. Even it’s something small—every tiny act of love and kindness makes your world a better place. Every day teaches you something that can help you going forward. This Christmas day, whether it’s a laid back, relaxing day, or a challenging, stressful day, give yourself and those around you the gift of forgiveness, compassion and of course, love. Merry Christmas!

Just for today, I recognize that I am a unique gift to the world. I give myself the gift of freedom from the past and move with joy into the now. I recognize that the greatest gift that I can give myself is unconditional love. I am beautiful and everyone loves me. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Metamorphosis

As you let go of 2018 and step into the NEW YEAR, instead of looking at this past year like “ Thank God it’s over!” recognize all the amazing gifts, which you are carrying forward into 2019, that you would not have had if it weren’t for your experiences, no matter how challenging they were.Today, as you move forward, be sure not to force any new habits or agenda. Simply ease into your changes with joy and grace. Trust that after all the internal work that you have been doing this year that YOU are finally ready to truly break free and make changes in your outer world. Trust it is your time to fly!

Just for today, I create a wonderful new day and a wonderful new future. I am open and receptive to meeting new and interesting people. I am open and receptive to new avenues of income. Every moment presents me with a wonderful new opportunity to become more of who I am. Life brings me only good experiences. I am open to new and wonderful changes. And so it is.
