It's here, the joy of a new year - we're flowing into 2013, and each day sees us taking another step closer towards fulfilling our hearts' promised goal. This goal could be something you've decided that you need to either release from your life, or it could be a vision you wish to embrace. Either way, hold your resolution within the strengthened corridors of your heart, and watch your distant-horizon goals become an ever-present, living reality.
Achieving a constant state of Zen is a challenging task, even through practice. If one is able to draw oneself back to the present moment, albeit time and time again, one is able to develop a stronger and more consistent state of Zen.

We cannot find love outside ourselves unless we first love ourselves from the inside, out.
1. Smile…it’s amazing how uplifting a smile can be. Especially when it’s the result of thinking about a happy memory, time or place. In addition to that, just remember that your smile can make someone’s day…stranger or otherwise. Go on…try it, I guarantee you that if you genuinely smile it will make your day a whole lot better.
The Mayan calendar ends December 21st, 2012. There is a lot of speculation around what that means. Some say it marks the date the Mayans believed the world would end. Others say it corresponds to the biblical judgment day and foretells the apocalypse. For certain it’s a momentous occasion, and one that won’t happen again for 26,000 years.
Friday is only days away. Some of you may feel the wild energy level in the core of your being. If you do not feel it, or you are not aware of it, maybe you have trouble sleeping, or your emotions are a bit chaotic, or you are simply changing small things in your life; cleaning up the energy around you.
