Greetings! 

The angels wish to share some ideas to help you celebrate your accomplishments in 2008, and create a vision of how you want to BE in 2009. This is much more fun than the traditional setting of New Year's goals, which tend to be very task oriented.
 
Here is a message from the angels: 
 
"Dearest ones, we celebrate the gift of who you are.You have come far and have many accomplishments in 2008. As angels we see matters of the heart--how you have shared light, or touched another with compassion. Look with your heart, and you will see you have done more than you expected. Write down your moments of joy, of celebration. Go forth surrounded in love. A new year is also a new beginning. Enjoy! "
 
It feels like 2009 will be an exciting year.   Doreen Virtue, Ph.D., international angel author says:
 
"2009's opportunities are springboards for you to leap into the changes that you've been dreaming about. You don't have to be stuck in any area of your life, but can use the momentum of this great time in our history to propel yourself and your energy into healthy movement. 2009 is a year to take chances and risks, and to truly follow your own inner guidance - even if others don't understand or agree." 
 
So, take a few moment to connect with your own dreams. Suggestions for setting intentions the angels' way are below.

 

 Setting 2009 Intentions, the Angels' Way  Angel with world

We invite you to choose a quiet time, relax, and ask the angels to help open your heart to the dreams inside. In 2008, much was released in preparation. Now, it is time to spread your wings and fly.  
                                                       
Setting Intentions:
 
Celebrate: List moments in 2008 you feel good about; moments of joy, accomplishments, challenges you overcame, etc.
Be: Choose words to describe how you want to feel and be in 2009. For example, joyful, exuberant, graceful, balanced, abundant. Make the words extra descriptive!
Dream: Ask the angels to help connect you with the dreams inside your heart. You may receive images of your life, words, feelings or knowingness,  Be like a child, and imagine your life unfolding.
Create:Choose the one word or feeling that reflects your highest focus for next year. "This is my year of ____ ". Add a few sentences which describe how you want to feel in 2009. It helps to start with " I am" or "I feel".
Sing: Select a song which will be your song for 2009. Whenever you need to be uplifted, or reconnected to this vision of yourself, listen to the song. This part is very powerful. The more you listen to your song, along with stating your intentions, the better you will feel.  
Optional:Singing along is encouraged ( you know angels love to sing!).
 
For example, for me in 2008 my intentions were:
This is my year of Strength. I am vibrant, healthy, strong and flexible. I listen to my body's needs. My song was You Raise Me Up, by Josh Groban.
I had an injury a few years ago, which was healed, but it was time to help my body become stronger again and more balanced. Having an image of myself as vibrant and strong helped me keep going and be patient with exercise. It also felt less like a "must do" list, like my usual goals. When the angels suggested I listen to music while I exercised, suddenly it became more fun (not a new concept I know, but I thought of exercise as serious and difficult--not fun). Also, for me exercise is important to help offset my angel time "out there", to keep me in balance energetically. So, it helps my spiritual work as well. I am happy to report I now like the way excercise helps me feel, and have graduated from 3 minutes on the eliptical to 20 minutes.
 
Here are a few other examples to give you ideas.
 
This is my year of: joy, freedom, harmony, abundance, peace, enthusiasm, new possibilities, peace, contentment, vibrant health, success, expansion, calmness, etc.
 
 
Then add your "I am" intention, and choose your song. Keep listening--you will know the right song by how it makes you feel inside. Have fun.
 
 
 If you like having your To Do lists, create them after, from this joyful place. 
   
Enjoy creating your new intentions for an exciting new year, 2009. If you would like, email me your intention and the song you pick at nancy@rainbowlightangel.com  . Email me by Jan 10 and I will distribute a list (without names). Then we can all send light and prayers to support your intentions. Plus, it would be fun to see them, especially the songs.
 
Have a blessed, Happy New Year!
