The way you reach that awareness is through an inner journey that brings about an emotional, psychological, and spiritual transformation. A deep inner shift in your reality occurs, aligning you with the creative energy of the Universe. Such change is possible when you invite Spirit to open up the eyes of your awareness to the abundance that is already yours.

How much time, creative energy, and emotion do we expend resisting change because we assume growth must always be painful? Much personal growth is uncomfortable, but it's worse to thwart the ascent of your authenticity.

We should write an elegy for every day that has slipped through our lives unnoticed and unappreciated. Better still, we should write a song of thanksgiving for all the days that remain-now that we know how to cherish them.

Change is the essence of life; change is the great challenge, the great constant. Change is the ultimate teller of tales.

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

Learning to live in the present moment is part of the path of joy.

Remember, no matter what life throws at us, we can always bake a cake!
