affirmations for the new year

Opening the front door each morning is an act of joy.

I am imbued with the beauty and love that surrounds me.

I am filled with the Goddess-given light of the Now.


A note on affirmations:
Each year, I make affirmations rather than resolutions. As a witch, I have learned that to manifest something in my life, I have to will its existence so strongly that it BECOMES reality. Affirmations are always made in the present tense. I am. It is.

My 2008 affirmations bring me in closer touch with the world that surrounds me, draw to me the most positive and joyous energy, and give me pause to live in the moment, in the great Now that is both timeless and fleeting.

I encourage you to declare affirmations for the new year. Focus on the results, not the process. What do you affirm?

yes, I WILL keep on dreaming

One morning last week, I heard the gentle voice of a street musician singing John Lennon's Imagine in Grand Central Terminal. A few seconds later, I saw a hard-faced man push past someone who had stopped to listen, and heard him spit out a sarcastic, "Keep on dreaming."

Why?

I'll never know why this man is so hardened to joy or hope, why he tried to destroy others' happiness. I send him my blessings, and hope that he can find peace.

As for me, I will keep on dreaming.
