Gratitude has the power to shift our perspective, turning what we have into enough and more. It grounds us in the present moment, softens stress, and opens the heart to joy. 

The guilt and shame we feel over knowing we have to let go is what keeps us from letting go.  We must find our way back to truth in order to experience the Grace of God that awaits us. 

Everyone wants joy but everyone can't find joy. Let's look back at a time in life where joy was easier to find and see if it reignites a desire to be joyful again. 

Life is chaos and inherently unpredictable. How we handle this and respond to this determines our quality of life, so choose wisely. 

"Love can do what nothing else can do" - I believe that statement and because I believe, I am able to see Love and its power in a new way. 

We have an abundant life and yet oftentimes, we feel as if we are in lack.  When those moments come we must remind ourselves that our life is full of potentiality and all things are possible in any given moment.  We have all we will ever need at any point in our life, even if we can't see it.  

God is seldom in our plans but always in the unexpected.   Surprise opens us in a way that our soul unfolds to new experiences.  Let's learn to trust that God is present in the unimaginable, no matter what it is.  

In this life there will be sunny days and cloudy days.  When the clouds come we must remember the sun is still shining and we will see the sun again.  

In order to attain the highest good in our life, we must be willing to take a chance and risk what we have and what we know.  

If we are blessed to be alive as the New Year arrives, let's be grateful and thankful for the opportunity to be here.
