Magical, isn’t it? This time of year is truly special. There’s so much to share and memories to create! Did you take lots of pictures?

And what about your New Year’s plans? Are you ready for 2010? Can you believe we are just days away from another chance at new beginnings? I don’t know about you, but I am getting ready – refreshed, renewed, re-charged and re-born!

I have a confession to make…it’s taken me nearly this entire month to get out of a “funk” that started back in mid-November. You may recall that last month I became aware of a repetitive end of year need to take on BIG, new, wild-idea challenges. I chose to take a break from that self-sabotaging pattern. Almost as quickly as that awareness freed me from creating more chaos, it stopped me in my tracks. For a while I called it “writer’s block”, then “procrastination” and “laziness”, and then I was just “too busy”. Mostly, I just felt stuck.

This newsletter was scheduled to go out three weeks ago, and I just couldn’t make it happen. I had successfully stopped myself from creating “noise in my head” but in it’s place was nothing at all.

But that’s not really true. For me, “nothing” is always something. And once again, that something was paralyzing FEAR. Thank goodness I am celebrating this holiday season reminded that faith does conquer fear. This day, and every day, I choose faith not fear.

Happy New Year to All!
May the gifts of faith, hope, love and peace be yours this holiday season and always.
In the spirit of wisdom, wellness and prosperity–
