Are you ready to start your perfect new year?

You may already have a list of foods that you consider lucky when eaten on the first day of the New Year.

As we get ready to dive into 2010, I know you want to create as much good luck, health, wealth and well being as possible.

Here in the South we do have specific foods we like to eat for food luck on New Years Day.  Our meal will include simple foods like…

Black eyed peas
Cabbage
Brown rice
Pork tenderloin

Some of the foods I have read that is NOT good to eat on New Years day are…

What Not to Eat

Lobster … because they move backwards and could therefore lead to setbacks.

Chicken … because the bird scratches backwards, which could cause regret or dwelling on the past.

Any winged fowl… because good luck could fly away.

In Germany, it is customary to leave a little bit of each food on your plate past midnight to guarantee a stocked pantry in the New Year. Likewise in the Philippines, it’s important to have food on the table at midnight.

In addition to eating lucky foods and observing certain traditions on New Years Day, I also suggest you take a look at your life and decide to CHOOSE how you want your new year to be.

Get clear on what you want to create in the new year.

Spend a few minutes daily envisioning your life as you want it to be.  ACT AS IF you have already created your perfect life.

When my husband and I were dreaming of building a new home in North Carolina we started packing even before we knew where we were moving.  We were acting AS IF.  We talked to each other AS IF we were already in our new home, even though we did not know at the time where that home would be.

We made a CHOICE to believe that we would create our dream life and our dream home.

It worked!  We have been in our new log home here in the mountains for almost a year.  Can you believe it?  We are really looking forward to welcoming the new year from our new home this year!

You too can CHOOSE what you want to create in the new year.  Here are a few affirmations you may find helpful…

I am open to receiving.

I am open to receiving all that is mine by Divine right.

I now release all limiting beliefs that no longer serve my Divine purpose.

I now release all limiting beliefs that block the flow of money, abundance, prosperity, health, well being…

I DESERVE to have all good things delivered to me in perfect timing and I am READY to receive all the good that I deserve.

I CHOOSE to ALLOW all good things to flow to me for my highest good AND for the greater good of all.

May you have a blessed and prosperous new year filled with people and places that you love, and all the joy and well being you DO deserve.

If I may be of assistance to you in the New Year, please contact me directly to see how I may best be of benefit to you.

Know that I love you and I grateful for you… every day!

Hello dear friends,

At this special time… whether your are celebrating the birth of Christ or another holiday… for most of us it is a very special time of year and I want you to know…

From my heart to yours…

I sincerely appreciate YOU and who you are and it is my true desire to be of service and benefit to you in the new year.

Whether you are subscribed to my newsletter or one of my blogs or a member of one of my Yahoo Groups or a Facebook friend or Twitter follower… or perhaps you are receiving my free marketing tips or you may be one of my private Attraction Marketing clients.

In whatever capacity I know you… even if we have never talked personally, I want you to know that you are special to me and I believe that you DESERVE to have all good things in your life.

Each year I grow more grateful for precious friends like YOU and I look forward to sharing the beginning of a new year with you.

Can you believe it is almost 2010?

In each new year we have the opportunity to begin again and everything is possible.

Before we begin the new year I want to acknowledge YOU and let you know that just by being you, you have contributed in some way to my spiritual and professional growth… and I hope that I have also contributed in some way to your personal success and prosperity.

Everyone we meet changes our life in some way.

THANK YOU for finding your way into my life!

Of all the resources I study to further my spiritual growth, there is one thread that runs throughout, and that is LOVE.

When we express love we are raising our own spiritual consciousness or vibrational frequency – and sending love to everyone around us is literally sharing love with the world.

Imagine the difference each of us can make if every time you see someone anywhere and everywhere you say out loud or silently, “I love you.”

Love is a form of meditation.  Sit quietly for a few minutes and simply say silently, “I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you…”

FEEL the difference.

The next time you get angry with someone, send love.  Just say silently “I love you.”

You can choose love in any situation.  It is truly YOUR choice.

So, as we each make our way through all the holiday celebrations and get ready to celebrate the beginning of a new year, know that you ARE loved and that your presence here on earth is meaningful and makes a difference in my life and in the lives of those around you.

You have the opportunity to be, do and have anything you want, and you don’t have to wait for the new year.  Begin now.  Choose to think and say only high vibration thoughts and words.

I am grateful for…

I love you because you are you.

I love myself because I am me.

I appreciate you because…

I appreciate myself because…

I choose peace.  I AM peace.

I choose joy.  I AM joy.

I choose abundance.  I AM abundance.

I choose well being.  I AM well being.

I CHOOSE LOVE.

I CHOOSE LOVE.

I CHOOSE LOVE.

May your holiday celebrations be bright and shiny with joy and may your new year begin with a bang that expands throughout the year to being you more peace, more joy, more abundance, more well being and MORE LOVE.

Give more love.  Receive more love.

Know that I love YOU simply because you are YOU.

Many blessings for a happy holiday season and a prosperous new year.

In sincere appreciation,

Abundance is the state in which there is more than enough.  Your abundance may include money, health, friends, customers, clients, laughter, joy, anything at all.

How do you feel right now regarding abundance in your life – on a scale of 1 to 10?

Ok, now repeat this affirmation (with feeling) 10 times.  SMILE while you say it..

I attract abundance in everything I do.
I attract abundance in everything I do.
I attract abundance in everything I do.
I attract abundance in everything I do.
