Happy New Year!

A New Year Blessing

I hope for you in this new year ...

That the single, most significant dimension of life is your relationship with the Source of Goodness who never ceases to sing love songs to your soul


That you find meaning, purpose, and vitality in what you do daily


That you treasure your loved ones and let them know how dear they are to you


That you make choices and decisions that reflect your truest self


That you look in the mirror at least once a day and smile in happy amazement


That you remember relationships are what count above all else - more than work or money, or all the material things we spend so much time tending


That you live in an uncluttered manner, enjoying the freedom to be content


That you keep your sense of humor when things don’t go the way you want


That you find adventure in each new day and marvel at the wonders of creation
which constantly present themselves to you


That you never give up on yourself when others turn away or do not understand


That you are attentive to the health of your body, mind and spirit


That you take risks and accept the growth-full challenges that come to you


That you draw on your inner strength and resiliency when you are in need


That you carry peace within yourself, allowing it to slip into the hearts of others
so our planet becomes a place where violence, division, and war are no more
