As we near the New Year, I pause to reflect with a joyous heart on the past year. Did everything I want happen? No. Am I still a little impatient? Yes.

Yet, what I celebrate most in this moment before January 1st are not things gotten or even projects completed. No, what I celebrate most is my faith in myself expanded, my heart extended, adventures accepted and challenges faced positively.

I celebrate with great appreciation all the wonderful people that I met this year, all the friendships that I nurtured.

I celebrate paying attention to my life as it unfolded. Sure I had some forward focus. But you know what? I was more alive this year in moments of my life than I can ever remember. There were tons of goosebumps, that I got each time I really knew some truth worth knowing and spoke it! Wow, the clamoring of my cells in applause. Loved that!

My intuitive dream boards and vision boards regularly fed me with empowering information that made my heart sing, my mind ponder and my soul happy to be heard.

I celebrate all the people I helped interpret the powerful insights their dream boards had to show them. I feel such gratitude that these clients and seminar participants came ready to dream, explore and share.

I celebrate my realization that there are reasons to celebrate more often. Each step on our life journey is worth celebrating. Each dream or goal manifestation, small or large, is cause for joy!

A friend recently told me that she manifested the boots she hankered for and a cruise she envisions. Both, just by letting others know about her dreams. It’s amazing how often people will step up to help make your dream come true when you simply voice it.

So I’m encouraging everyone to start the year clear about what they want and to ask for it. If your friends, family members, or associates can’t help, believe that the Universe can.

Happy New Year!
