Self-nurturance, or learning to bask in bliss, is an acquired art form.

Ironically, gratitude's most powerful mysteries are often revealed when we are struggling in the midst of personal turmoil.

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.

Take a leap of faith and begin this wondrous new year by believing. Believe in yourself. And believe that there is a loving Source - a Sower of Dreams - just waiting to be asked to help you make your dreams come true.

Today is not the day you quit. Nor is it the day you cry. Today you know that you have all the passion and wisdom to find that quiet center of solace, serenity and strength necessary to create and sustain an authentic life.

you already possess all you need to be genuinely happy.

Choice is destiny's soul mate.
