Make peace with the knowledge that you can't have everything you want. Why? Because it's more important for us to get everything we need.

Turn away from the world this year and begin to listen. Listen to the whispers of your heart. Look within. Your silent companion has lit lanterns of love to illuminate the path to Wholeness. At long last, the journey you were destined to take has begun.

Usually, when the distractions of daily life deplete our energy, the first thing we eliminate is the thing we eliminate is the thing we need the most: quiet, reflective time. Time to dream, time to contemplate what's working and what's not, so that we can make changes for the better.

You've got to make a conscious choice every day to shed the old - whatever "the old" means for you.

Celebrate the Sacred in the ordinary.
