Happy New You

This year may have been hard, miserable, difficult or challenging, I'm sure there are many negative adjectives that can describe 2009. Personally I had a year of transition and gratitude.

Thinking about the last day of the year is emotional. So many things were me. So many things were you. So many things could have been you. So many things could have been me.

I could have had no shoes to walk in, I could have had to go to bed hungry last night, I could have been sleeping outside in the cold, I could have lived this year without love, I could have lived this year without the love of my children. But I didn't So things were good.

So even if you think your wings have been broken and you have spent the year in the rain things could have been worse. If they could have been worse that means they can get better. Today marks not only the end of the year but it represents a new tomorrow. A brighter tomorrow. So tell the storm to pass. Even it's a hurricane it doesn't last. That's the good thing about storms, they have no choice but to move on. So tell the storms in your life to pass! Command your sunlight! Take a stand for a better tomorrow.

Standing on solid ground begins with claiming your freedom from worry. Freedom from bills, freedom from broken relationships, freedom from drugs and freedom from our negative thoughts.

We all face trouble in life. that's how it is. Life is a series of events. Some good. Some bad. We have to keep walking in the direction we want to live in. When it feels like the mountain is to high to climb, you must walk. Get a stick if you have too, but walk. every step is ordered by a higher power than ourselves. Our universe works to make those steps easier if we claim it.

When your vision is obscured and you can't see which direction you should go in, close your mind. Cleanse yourself from the thoughts that have been poisoned by the world around us and walk. Get a guide dog if you have too, but walk you must. If you begin to struggle to take that first steps because of the tears, your headed in the right direction!

You may have lost a job. You may have lost a loved one. You may have lost a home. You may have hurt someone you love. You may have gotten hurt by someone you love.

I know what it's like. I've lived with the eviction notice tape still on my door. I've had sleepless nights worrying if people will see the pain inside. I've lost the most important people in my life. I've cried in the midnight hour scared for tomorrow. I have even hurt the ones who love me the most. So these aren't words. But were still standing.

You may not know your own power today. But I promise you, when you begin to believe that abundance is near. That happiness is around the corner. That peace is a arms length away. You will obtain everything you want. Just hang on!

Repeat after me. I will trust. I will believe. I will live. I will give my heart the peace it needs to heal. I will give my future the faith it deserves to manifest. I will live a life of purpose. I will be the best me I can be everyday.

Happy New Year
