It is time for the The Word for the Year!
Over the past several years I wrote about the difficulties of keeping my well intention-ed New Year's Resolutions and thanks to a to a blog by Kristine Kane, I now choose a word or number
for the upcoming year that hopefully will inspire me on what I want "TO BE" as opposed to what I need "TO DO".
In the past my words have been: Expand, Gratitude, Possibilities, Openess, Memento Mori, Grace, and last year it was a number, 525,600 (which represents the number of minutes we have in a year).
My 2014 Word for the Year was inspired by last week's quote and is Synchronicity! My intention is to keep that word in mind over the course of the year to be more open to those mysteries of chance encounters or those improbable , yet meaningful events.

Happy New Year Everybody!! Welcome to the last quote of 2013. I am looking forward to finding out what the new year has in store for me but more importantly, figuring out what I have in store for it!!! Enjoy!
__________
“In this new year,
may you have a deep understanding of your true value and worth,
an absolute faith in your unlimited potential,
peace of mind in the midst of uncertainty,
the confidence to let go when you need to,
acceptance to replace your resistance,
gratitude to open your heart,
the strength to meet your challenges,
great love to replace your fear,
forgiveness and compassion for those who offend you,
clear sight to see your best and true path,
hope to dispel obscurity,
the conviction to make your dreams come true,
meaningful and rewarding synchronicities,
dear friends who truly know and love you,
a childlike trust in the benevolence of the universe,
the humility to remain teachable,
the wisdom to fully embrace your life exactly as it is,
the understanding that every soul has its own course to follow,
the discernment to recognize your own unique inner voice of truth,
and the courage to learn to be still.”
Janet Rebhan

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic...
At the end of each year, I ask myself two questions:
1) What do I want to create in this New Year? And, perhaps even more importantly,
2) What do I want to let go of?
Patricia Digh
(Two good questions if you are doing an annual review or check out Chris Guillebeau site... http://

It's Christmas Eve, it's the one night of the year where we all act a little nicer, we smile a little easier, we cheer a little more...for a couple of hours out of the whole year we are the people that we always hoped we would be. It's a miracle, it's really sort of a miracle, because it happens every Christmas Eve...
"You have to do something, you have to take a chance, you do have to get involved. There are people that are having trouble making their miracle happen. There are people who don't have enough to eat, there are people that are cold...you can go out and say "hello" to these people. You can take an old blanket out of the closet and say "here" you can make them a sandwich and say "oh by the way here!" I get it now! If you give, then it can happen...then the miracle can happen to you. It's not just the poor and hungry, it's everybody who's got to have this miracle!! And it can happen tonight for all of you! If you believe in this spirit thing, the miracle will happen and then you'll want it to happen again tomorrow. You won't be one of those (Scrooges) who says Christmas is once a year and it's a fraud...it's not! It can happen every day..you've just got to want that feeling. And if you like it and you want ityou'll get greedy for it...you'll want it every day of your life, and it can happen to you. I believe in it now! I believe it's gonna happen to me now, and I'm ready for it. It's great! It's a good feeling..it's better than I've felt in a long time! I'm ready....have a Merry Christmas, everyone."
From the movie "Scrooged" (1988) starring Bill Murray

This Holiday Season…
Mend a quarrel... Seek out a forgotten friend... Dismiss suspicion, and replace it with trust...Write a love letter... Share some treasure... Give a soft answer... Encourage youth...Manifest your loyalty in word and deed...Keep a promise... Find the time... Forgo a grudge... Forgive an enemy... Listen... Apologize if you were wrong… Try to understand... Flout envy... Examine your demands on others... Think first of someone else... Appreciate... Be kind... Be gentle... Laugh a little, Laugh a little more... Deserve confidence... Take up arms against malice... Decry complacency... Express your gratitude... Welcome a stranger... Gladden the heart of a child... Take pleasure in the beauty and the wonder of earth... Speak of your love... Speak it again... Speak still once again.
