Today is the last day of the year, and so let’s say farewell to it with as much gratitude as we can muster.

Giving thanks is that spiritual practice that raises our vibration and allows us to perceive much more clearly. That feels like a great way to begin the year tomorrow.

I’m not one who looks back a lot. I review things that just happened when I feel I could have seen or done something differently to have a more agreeable outcome, but I don’t look back much at the distant past. To me, it’s long gone and not coming back. I’m not very nostalgic, but now and then I have moments.

I am grateful for Peace.

What I notice about this year is that I’ve been more in the present moment than ever before in my life that I can remember, at least in my adult life. In this present moment I recognize I’m at Peace and all is well. I enjoy the Peace and Harmony of my life very much and I’m so grateful that I’ve done the spiritual work to bring me to this place.

I am grateful for winter.

In fact, I’ve become very aware of how much I like the stillness more than I ever have. This past spring, when the snow was gone, well into June, I was missing winter so much. I was missing the quiet of winter, walking in the snow and the Peace of it. Spring is so alive and lively with bird migrations, beginning sounds of tractors, mowers, leaf blowers, and all manner of machinery. Winter has snowplows and snow blowers, but it seems as if it’s much quieter.

I am grateful for my intuition.

My intuitive faculties are getting sharper and sharper and I find it incredibly helpful. I also find that frequently I can think about what I like and it shows up very quickly. It demonstrations especially quickly in areas where I have no resistance. It might seem silly, but it makes my life more enjoyable.

For instance, the other day when I was in New Jersey at my brother’s house, in the morning I was thinking that I’d like to have some really good Italian food. Something I don’t see much of in Vermont where I am. Then my brother invited me out to lunch and we went to an Italian place I’d wanted to try for years. I went out to dinner with friends and they picked an Italian restaurant that was fantastic. I didn’t mind two Italian meals in one day and I got to enjoy what I’d been desiring.

I am grateful to let go of the painful thought patterns of the past.

It can sometimes seem exhausting and so sticky when we’re trying to rid ourselves of the old painful thought patterns. That’s why it’s so important to me to share how to let them go and to watch people in our programs demostrate how effective they can be at undoing the patterns and setting themselves free.

Life is so profoundly better without negative thought patterns. It’s worth everything I did to let them go – if only I’d known decades before and could have begun then. Still, I’m truly grateful for the Freedom I feel now.

I am grateful for good friends I truly Love who truly Love me without judgment or complaint. We always enjoy each other. What a gift.

I could write a lot more, but I’d rather challenge you to inventory what you’re grateful for in your life, and most especially in your consciousness.

I just published a new episode of my podcast My topic is A Year of A Course in Miracles. I share some of the key principles in ACIM that have helped me, and many others, to change our thinking and transform our lives.

Traveling this path of Love together we let go of the painful past and release the compulsive fearful thinking – so many in this Power of Love community are proving it’s possible even when they thought it wasn’t. Dissolving difficult thought patterns is the kind of work we do in my Masterful Living Program.

What could you do or accomplish in the coming year that would be more valuable than letting go of the root causes of fear, pain and all suffering? Why wait? Why delay? You will choose it eventually.

People who do this work with us in the Masterful Living Program are often amazed at how their bodies heal and their families heal, and for some it improves their finances in the most unexpected and remarkable ways. It’s deeply healing to us individually and to those around us, because we share the same mind.

If people didn’t prove it all the time in Masterful Living, we could never believe that the practical application of these principles would heal their marriage, their arthritis, or their body so they’re no longer spending thousands on medications and treatments. Who would imagine that surgeries would no longer be needed or that their income would double, triple, quadruple without doing anything different to improve their business?

Once people prove that changing their mind heals their life and body, they get excited for what else might be possible.

So many relationships are healed, families mended and transformed for the participants of Masterful Living. Come join us this coming year!

If you feel called to join us, follow your intuition. You can book an Exploratory Call with one of the spiritual counselors to discuss any questions you have about Masterful Living and that’s a free call!

My next Masterful Living Bonus Class is on January 2nd – New Year Reboot. If you’re willing, I’m willing. If this is right for you, you WILL know it. In my year-long Masterful Living Course a number of people have healed their depression, gone off anti-depressants, let go of old hurts and sadness that has troubled them for many years. They have accomplished what they never believed they could do, because they gave themselves a chance, and they didn’t give up. You can do it too.
