\"Fireworks<\/a>What a great time to reflect. What were you thinking about last year this time? Did you have any New Year resolutions? How did it go? Did you achieve the results you wanted or just blow them off?<\/p>\n

What do you want to create in 2012? Years ago I was terrified of going bankrupt. I thought about it a lot, worried about it and lost sleep about it. I had been supporting myself quite successfully for 13 years with my stained glass studio but I worried anyway.<\/p>\n

Worry is futile<\/h3>\n

Worry in a sense is actually planning to create something we\u2019re afraid of having happen and that we certainly won\u2019t enjoy when it shows up in our life. Eventually I created going bankrupt. In the process I did learn to pay attention to what I thought about.<\/p>\n

What have you been thinking about lately? Is it what you want to create or what you are afraid might happen?<\/p>\n

Take a few minutes to connect with the angels and then write a letter about what you do want. you could even let the angels write back to you. Then make some concrete plans, decide on some actions you are willing to take on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

Listen to the angels<\/h3>\n

The best thing I ever did for myself was to spend sometime each day connected to the angelic realms. To meditate and pray on a daily basis is truly life changing, especially when you listen to the whispers and take actions accordingly.<\/p>\n

Make list<\/h3>\n

Make a list of what you want to change and then think about what you can do to make that change happen. Be realistic. If you want to quit smoking you might want to find a support group.<\/p>\n

At the top of your list put some affirmations of self love, acceptance and perhaps a prayer that speaks to your heart.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s make 2012 a year full of magic and wonder.<\/h3>\n
