Hi!!

So I figured New Years is almost here and I wanted to share some cool traditions with you all! Enjoy!

The New Year is an opportunity to turn the wheel of time and begin a new. As the last year comes to a close, people around the world have an opportunity to let it go and move forward unencumbered.  Make this new year the best one yet!

Some things to do or think about …

Before the year’s over, release all clutter! Throw out all that you’ve outgrown and make room for something new. Take a cue from the Italians, who literally do “out with the old” by throwing unwanted possessions from their windows on New Year’s Eve. lol pretty awesome!

If you have consciously or subconsciously hurt others in the past year, it’s time to make amends. When your relationships are filled with anger or resentment, they become huge drains. Apologizing allows you to take back your energy and move forward. Start fresh this year, let the light of your heart shine. Release all negative thoughts, energy and toxic people. Let go with Love!

I thought this was super cool! To mark New Years Eve in Bali, the entire country goes silent and takes time for prayers and contemplation. People around the world could learn a lot from this ritual, considering all of us spend so much time talking, texting, social media etc. that we hardly listen to our own inner guidance. Before the New Year, make some time for silence. Put your phone away, shut off your computer, and just be with the beautiful gift that is the present . Do it alone or with someone you love…

Before the year’s over, throw out all that you’ve outgrown and make room for something new. Start fresh…

Purify your space! Make your home a place of peace.. Cleanse your space by placing sage, rosemary, or fresh lemon in a bottle of water and spraying their scents around your home. Boost the energy even more with a bowl of fresh-cut oranges, lemons, or grapefruits. For more than 6,000 years, certain plants were worn or sniffed to heal the body, attract love, and change one’s state of consciousness. Aromatherapy may energize, calm, rejuvenate, balance, purify the body and mind. Simply take a deep breath and let these wonderful essences change your vibration. vibe to my vibe peeps 😉

Take time to bless your life, your body, your friends, your family, and Mother Earth. Appreciation builds appreciation and makes you feel happy, reinforcing the good in the world. Smiles are contagious! 🙂 Add to the positive energy of the world — it needs your caring vibrations of light and love.

Most of us spend the holiday season thinking of others and what we can do or buy for them. But when we honor ourselves, we naturally make better choices for personal enrichment. You can’t give to others if you don’t have any energy. Don’t forget about YOU!

So, New Years in Spain, they believe that grapes bring sweetness and prosperity, and they eat 12 of them at midnight,one for each stroke of the clock. In China, one eats long noodles to symbolize longevity in the year ahead. And of course, lots of cultures welcome midnight with a bubbly champagne toast. Whatever you eat or drink this New Year’s Eve manifest the brightest & best future.. because the best is yet to come!!!

This is such a cool tradition…For good luck in the coming year, some people throw money into their home the first time they enter after the new year has begun. So, go outside your front door a minute or so after midnight and throw coins through the entryway. Bless them with all the qualities you want them to bring in! you’re welcome lol

On New Years Day we will open our book…The pages of the chapters to come will be blank. Its up to us to make this journey count….

I have to say, I’m totally excited about this year to come! Hope you are too!! 🙂
