Today expect something good to happen to you no matter what occurred yesterday. Realize the past no longer holds you captive. It can only continue to hurt you if you hold on to it. Let the past go. A simply abundant world awaits. (January 11)

Little changes [and] little choices add up to be revolutionary changes in your life.

Not having money to spend doesn__ mean we can__ have well-spent moments every day. (42)

Usually, when the distractions of daily life deplete our energy, the first thing we eliminate is the thing we eliminate is the thing we need the most: quiet, reflective time. Time to dream, time to contemplate what's working and what's not, so that we can make changes for the better. (January 17)

Be grateful for the home you have, knowing that at this moment, all you have is all you need.

Always remember that striving and struggle precede success, even in the dictionary.

Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart.

New Year's Day. A fresh start. A new chapter in life waiting to be written. New questions to be asked, embraced, and loved. Answers to be discovered and then lived in this transformative year of delight and self-discovery. Today carve out a quiet interlude for yourself in which to dream, pen in hand. Only dreams give birth to change.

Take a leap of faith and begin this wondrous new year by believing. Believe in yourself. And believe that there is a loving Source - a Sower of Dreams - just waiting to be asked to help you make your dreams come true.

The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do.

The authentic self is the soul made visible.

Expect to have hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again.

It's time we put thoughts of lack behind us. It's time for us to discover the secrets of the stars to sail to an uncharted land to open up a new heaven where our spirits can soar.

Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend ... when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present-love health family friends work the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure-the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience heaven on earth.

Joy is your birthright.

Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.

This is how women self-sabotage and self-destruct. Unless we have constant witnesses to our hard work, we are convinced we pull off every day of our lives through smoke and mirrors. (27)

Faith is the very first thing you should pack in a hope chest.
