An ABUNDANT Way to begin the NEW YEAR

I am about to design a new series of bookmarks and wanted inspirations on abundance to be the theme. Well, the most wonderful Dr. Wayne Dyer has been an inspiration for me for almost thirty years now. So I want to share with you my favorite 20 quotes of his that relate to creating abundance and prosperity:

1. "There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; there's only scarcity of resolve to make it happen."
   
   
2. "Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into."
   
   
3. "There is no way to prosperity, prosperity is the way."
   
   
4. "Within you is the divine capacity to manifest and attract all that you need or desire."
   
   
5. "We are Divine enough to ask and we are important enough to receive."
   
   
6. "You are always a valuable, worthwhile human being, not because anybody says so, not because you're successful, not because you make a lot of money, but because you decide to believe it and for no other reason."
   
   
7. "When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous."
   
   
8. "The measure of your life will not be in what you accumulate, but in what you give away."
   
   
9. "Successful people make money. It's not that people who make money become successful, but that successful people attract money. They bring success to what they do."
   
   
10. "Self-worth comes from one thing -- thinking that you are worthy."
    
    
11. "Prosperity in the form of wealth works exactly the same as everything else. You will see it coming into your life when you are unattached to needing it. "
    
    
12. "Our intention creates our reality."
    
    
13. "Love what you do."
    
    
14. "Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life."
    
    
15. "It's never crowded along the extra mile."
    
    
16. "I will grow. I will become something new and grand, but no grander than I now am. Just as the sky will be different in a few hours, its present perfection and completeness is not deficient, so am I presently perfect and not deficient because I will be different tomorrow. I will grow and I am not deficient."
    
    
17. "Heaven on Earth is a choice you must make, not a place we must find."
    
    
18. "A non-doer is very often a critic-that is, someone who sits back and watches doers, and then waxes philosophically about how the doers are doing. It's easy to be a critic, but being a doer requires effort, risk, and change."
    
    
19. "Anything that has been accomplished by any other human being in the physical realm is within the field of possibility."
    
    
20. "Anything you really want, you can attain, if you really go after it."

Thanks so much, and God Bless!

Our Secret is Out! Carol and I are presenting together!

EVERYTHING! has Energy!

Duh! you'd think I'd learned that by now, or at least would remember it! Last evening I attended a lecture by my dear friend Jeanine Sande (Reiki Master Teacher and supreme energy worker): http://www.lightenyourway.com

What an amazing woman she is! My big EPIPHANY came when I put two and two together. Owning an antique store for the last 10 years, I've consciously cleared the energy attached to all the myriad items our dealers bring in. Regularly, I walk room to room in the store and bless all the things, the soul/energy surrounding each item, and all the people who have previously enjoyed the ownership and use of those items.

Sounds good... so what's the problem? well... I have two areas in our home that are just heavy and bogged down... cluttered to the max and are overwhelming to approach. Every time I try to organize or declutter these two areas, I seem to get easily distracted by some other "must do" and the dilemma stays static. BOTH of those areas are a stockpile of used antiques and collectibles that I am to either list on ebay or sell in the shop. AND I'VE NEVER THOUGHT TO CLEAR THE ENERGY around these items here in my home! DUH!

So, thank you to Jeanine, for what I already knew... but just didn't remember!! The two areas already feel lighter and more approachable!

And that's my nugget for today!

Time for WORD OF THE YEAR choice!

I love to go surfing every morning.... blog surfing that is. I love to find sites that reinforce positive spiritual practices. Over the long weekend I found Christine Kane's site, http://christinekane.com/blog/,

...She suggests, instead of resolutions, that each new year we select a "Word of the Year".... I think it's a GREAT idea!

I remember leading groups over the years, right around the turn of the year.... one of my favorite processes was "I am the one who....." and we would finish the statement with what we wanted to experience in the new year.

Selecting one word is an interesting concept. But I keep switching! I liked "peaceful" "organized".. but the one that sticks with me is "breakout".... I believe this will be the year I breakout of several patterns of the past... We'll see if I stick with that one by choice time, Jan 1st.

And January 1st will be fabulous because my friend, now partner, Carol Daly http://caroldaly.com/ and I will be co-leading a "First Day" celebration.... more about that in future posts.

So, I'm sure Christine wouldn't mind, but here are just a few of the words she suggested to jump start the important choice making:

Compassion
Delight
Generosity
Effortlessness
Wealth
Gratitude
Abundance
Creativity
Willingness
Change
Growth
Freedom
Mastery
Kindness
Health
Presence
Acceptance
Courage
Confidence
Self-Love

Hmmm.... so many choices! Post a comment and put it out to the Universe... what is your word for 2009 (don't worry, you have 28 days to change it!)
Have a lovely Fall Day!
