Escape the ordinary
A new year brings a fresh start, a blank slate, a beginning, a chance to write your beautiful story all over again. Out with the old, in with the new. Throw out the resolutions and count the blessings instead. Wish for more. More love, more light, more harmony, more peace.This is the year to stop saying “maybe” and say “yes” to all the potential good the world sends your way. Choose your own theme for the year: Peace. Love. Wonder. Miracles. Choose a new motto: Right now is more important than later. Choose a new mantra. C’est à moi! (It’s my turn!) Look forward instead of back. Stop focusing on failures and love the life lessons they give us. Ring out the losses, the setbacks, the obstacles, the stumbles and the falls. Ring in the the wins, the happy moments, the adoration, the fortune, the charmed life. Reserve judgment. Make positivity go viral. Hand out compliments like you’re getting paid to do it. Receive them graciously. Buy that pricey pair of heels you’ve had your eye on forever, call them your happy shoes, and wear them until they go from broken in to broken down. There’s another pair waiting right around the corner. Kick up those heels like you don’t have a care in the world and toast to a carefree 2015!
“And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been.” Rainer Maria Rilke
