As you approach the final days of 2008, look back, not with sighs of relief that a challenging year is over, but rather with a gentle celebration of gratitude. Each and every day is a blessing. No matter what trials or difficulties you have endured, they have forged you and strengthened you in your awareness of self growth.   

During the final days of 2008, let's look back with appreciation on all that has occurred. Above all take the time to appreciate the growth you have achieved this year - the increase in faith, the increased desire to be a loving person, the ability to be resourceful and make do at times when you didn't know where to turn. These are the gifts of the soul that your creator is presenting to each and every one of you. And with these gifts you can approach the new year with a renewed sense of excitement, adventure, and freedom. 2009 is going to be a year of movement and change and the opportunity for great growth for all of us.

We are clearing out the residues of our past so that we can move into the new year unencumbered. If there are any burdens weighing you down - either internal or external, write them down and give them to Spirit. Ask for an increased experience of the divine light within, for with this light comes the awareness that all is within you, waiting to be called forth into grand and glorious expression.

Happy New Year!

Happy New You!
