Gratitude is the most passionate transformative force in the cosmos.

There are several occasions in the course of any woman's day when, without question, screaming is the appropriate response.

Let's choose today to quench our thirst for the 'good life' we thinks others lead by acknowledging the good that already exists in our lives. We can then offer the universe the gift of our grateful hearts.

nothing good ever comes out of denying the truth about our situation.

Let us each grasp a new idea this year. Let us grasp the awareness of what it is that makes us truly happy. Let us consider our personal preferences and learn how to recognize, then embrace, moments of happiness that are uniquely our own.

No one needs to know that you've shut the world out and are meditating as you stroll down the street. Twenty minutes to a half-hour every day is a good amount of time to restore a sense of serenity.

Take a leap of faith and begin this wondrous new year by believing.
