Happy New year!

I wrote this blog a month ago, then got busy with family, work, and finishing my book and forgot to post it. So, I know this is a month late, but it's never too late to celebrate a new year!

I love the start of a new year!

It holds so much hope for a happier year.  Whether you had a bad year or a good year, you can always hope for even better. By better I mean happier, healthier, more prosperous, more fun, more connections with people, more authenticity.

We can all have more happiness by being thankful for what we have.  Sometimes you see people have a lot more than you do when you look at social media, but what you see is not always reality.  Even seeing the lives of celebrities, they aren't all happy or there wouldn't be so many issues with drugs and alcohol.  Even wealthy people aren't always happy.  And I bet you can name some people you know who don't have a lot, but are happy.  It's in their attitude.

So as much as many of us hope for more prosperity in the new year, ask yourself why.  Is it to pay bills or enjoy different experiences, which definitely can add happiness to your life. Or is it for more THINGS in your life, which may or may not add happiness.  What is the bottom line?  What are you really looking for?

Deepening your connections to your spirit and to other people in your life can definitely add to your happiness.  Longing to live authentically and feeling the richness of life and love is a longing many people have.  Many people are tired of living superficially.  They want to feel more joy and love and peace.

So this new year, what do you really want in your life?  Get deep down into your soul and feel what it is you want more of? Or less of?

Action

Take a break and sit in a quiet place that feels really good to you.  Honor yourself to do this.  And ask yourself: What do I want for 2015?  What does my soul long for in 2015? What would make my heart sing?
Feel it and welcome it into your life!

I wish you many blessings this year and so much happiness that it is infectious and affects everyone around you!
