Dear Friends,

I have never felt so exhilarated by a new year! Nothing can stand between us and what we want but fear. And we have the antidote … the antidote being love!

I learned the Bible verse as a little girl, but I was a long time really getting it: There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Rooted in fear are blame, anger, defensiveness, resentment, pride, greed, guilt, lies, and self pity. Love displaces them, leaving no room for what would torment us.

When we manifest fearless love, we manifest everything good. That’s what love is — acceptance, joy, peace, faith, oneness, abundance, forgiveness, truth, and perfection. That’s what I’m looking forward to in 2019. And that’s what I’m wishing you! Everything good!

It’s yours — because love is yours. Take it. Own it. Manifest it. Align with it. Merge with it. And you will, indeed, be happy!

Happy New Year!… More

Life is about falling down and learning from it, getting up and starting again. And if that doesn’t sound like fun to you, just watch a baby do it. Better yet, let the baby wrap his little fingers around yours and help him learn to walk.

Look into his twinkling eyes and see if you don’t get a new perspective on resilience — joy in the stumbling and peace in the falling. There might be some cries and screams, but they won’t keep him down. With a little coaxing, you can turn his cries into smiles and laughter.

Why not encourage yourself—particularly in relationships when you can’t believe you messed up again? Believe in yourself? Show compassion and understanding for you? Don’t lose sight of the baby, or that pristine goodness, in you, your partner, and in everybody else. It hasn’t gone anywhere.

Yes, you have grown-up problems, and you’ve taken some tough falls. Like me, you’ve probably curled up and sobbed what felt like hopeless sobs. And maybe you’ve filed away enough lousy memories to make any person angry and bitter — any person who wanted to be, that is.

After you’ve aired all of your grievances, the hard knocks and the heartaches, with all the should-haves and if-onlys, ask yourself this question: Do you want to be happy anyway?… More
