Ask and it is Given: A New Year

Happy New Year!

Don't you just love the promise of a new year? I can still feel the excitement from New Year's Eve--the energy of people all over the world waiting to count down and usher out the old year. We're filled with the hope and optimism of getting another chance to sow the seeds of change in our lives.

This year, I resolve to make more time for myself and to do more to serve others. I'm going to take longer baths. Commune with nature. Sing and dance everyday. Love (especially myself) with reckless abandon. I've also decided I'd do my small part to help eradicate hunger in my city but I'll share a little more about that in another post.

I've gotten some great insights on conscious living, law of attraction, the art of allowing and more from "Ask and it is Given--Learning to Manifest Your Desires" by Esther and Jerry Hicks. If you need a little guidance and insight to set and achieve your personal and professional goals this year, I highly recommend this book. Best of luck to you in 2010!

Happiness Attracts Abundance

Today, I read the statement "happy people earn $750,000+ more in their lifetime than others" and smiled to myself. I've known for some time that happiness attracts abundance because it's been my story my entire adult life.

I've always been blessed to have abundance in many areas of my life; relational, financial, emotional and physical (yep, even got up to a size 16 at one point in my life...lol). I sometimes questioned God and asked why, of all people, did He spare me from the fate of some of my friends and family. It's not that I wanted to suffer, I just wondered why I was spared. I'm really not sure. The only explanation that makes sense to me is that I am here to spread happiness, love and light so I graciously accept my assignment. Guess it's just one of life's delicious little mysteries and I'm so grateful.

Don't get me wrong, I have challenges just like everybody else but when I'm faced with obstacles or disappointments, I acknowledge the feelings and make a conscious decision about how I will deal the "stuff." When tears or grief are in order--and sometimes they are--I allow myself time to work through it. I set a time frame for me to get over whatever it is--usually 36 hours and after that time I pick myself up and then CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY! For me it's just that simple.

I don't know about you but unhappiness is not an option for me--it's someplace I visit from time to time (because I'm human) but I chose not to live there. I'm much more interested in attracting my share of the abundance our universe has to offer. If you're ever faced with a choice, choose happiness and you'll soon get your share as well.

Passion & The Law Of Attaction

What are you passionate about? Staying positive, spreading love, helping other people, negativity, drama, being the victim, being stuck in “woe-is-me” mode?...

When we are passionate about something, we release an undeniable, unstoppable energy that attracts to us the very thing we think most about or the thing we desire the most--positive or negative.

Have you ever had a day where one bad thing seems to set in motion an avalanche of unwanted occurrences or a really good day where there were great surprises around each corner? There is only one difference between the really good days and the really bad ones...your ATTITUDE.

If you remain passionate, positive and grateful for every experience, you feel happy and radiate this energy out into the universe. The universe reads this energy and says, "Ok, he/she wants to be happy so let's grant him/her more of the same..."

Don't take my word for it--try it for yourself. Pay close attention to your passions, desires and attitude. Make a conscious choice to be happy and positive and watch the blessings in your life begin to unfold at a rapid pace. It all starts with YOU, your attitude and your passion.

Abraham Hicks On The World Financial Crisis

Everyone is chiming in with thoughts, praise and criticisms about the two presidential candidates and the upcoming election. Every day there is a flurry of media activity, happenings on the campaign trail and the ever-present rantings and ravings among American citizens. Well, now there is this stunning commentary from Abraham Hicks (watch the brief video below by Esther & Jerry Hicks). As usual, Abraham is able to break the subject down and reveal the simplicity of the solution. What are your thoughts? I'd be interested to know what you think about this message.
