			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If I asked you to tell me intuitively what color you are at your emotional level, what would you say? Are you a bright sunshine yellow, a dark blue, maybe even a dull gray? Does that color change moment to moment, day to day?</p>
<p>Whether we are aware of it or not color plays a big part in our lives. The color of the walls in our home, the color of our car, the color of our stationery (for those of you who still write letters and thank you notes), and particularly the color of our clothes can and does profoundly affect our mood, concentration and emotions. Color can be the difference between humming a happy tune or crying, joyfully cleaning closets or absentmindedly breaking your glasses.</p>
<p>For instance, what do you feel when you see someone driving a tomato red car? What conclusions do you draw about that driver? Do you think he or she is energized, a live wire? How does it impress you to walk into a home or an office with walls painted totally in a dark and heavy brown? Depressed, unhappy, hiding out or simply hiding something?</p>
<p>I have always been fascinated with color. It isn’t enough that I feel the need to change the sheets on my bed every week, I simply must change the colors as well. This week I will have the bottom sheet a flowered blue and perhaps a light pink top sheet and the pillow slips? Well, you get the idea. Given a chance I would paint one or more walls in a bedroom pale blue or spring green invoking relaxation and the wonderful renewal of a sound sleep.</p>
<p>One of my other color “addictions” is dinnerware; plates and particularly coffee mugs. I know I own plenty of those mugs but show me one in just the right color and I have got to add it to my collection. Each morning I tend to ponder which mug is perfect for that day’s coffee and that day’s planned activities!</p>
<p>When I decorate any room I am thinking about the feeling I want to create. For instance a kitchen might call for sunshine yellow and any other light hearted mix of colors, a little orange or yellow, any colors that bring out childlike creativity and glee!  My living room might call for shades of red to encourage socializing, animated conversation.</p>
<p>If you knew for a certainty that the outcome of your day would be greatly enhanced by your picking the right color from your wardrobe, would you do it? I know many people who are wearing the same color or colors day after day perhaps because of their work environment requirements or simple habit. However, it is important to note that lack of attention to color can cause a day of enormous potential to become one of drab results.</p>
<p>It was not an accident that caused a particular real estate chain to ask their salesman to wear gold jackets. The color encourages respectful attention as well as good communication in general.</p>
<p>If you wake up to start your day feeling “out of sorts” just selecting the right color clothes to wear can truly help. It is amazing what putting on your favorite color blouse or shirt can do to lighten your mood. It can put you into a state of positive expectance, looking for happy little miracles.</p>
<p>When you feel the urge to eat late at night has it ever been triggered by a particularly colorful food advertisement on the television? Was it that hamburger photo revealing red tomatoes, a big slice of shiny orange appearing cheese, green lettuce?</p>
<p>If today’s agenda calls for a lot of intense work, wearing all black may not be the best choice. What color gives you the most concentration and energy? It is a very personal choice but an important one. Taking the time to become more attuned to what any one of the colors does for you personally, what effect it has on you, might be a great benefit.</p>
<p>If you are interacting with specific people for a purpose, consider what you are trying to accomplish and which colors could help you achieve your goal. Do you want to simply attract attention to yourself and your ideas or do you want to create a calmer more receptive atmosphere? Perhaps it is both but in any case the right colors can help.</p>
<p>You can make your very personal “science of color” work for you! It just requires a little experimenting and the desire to make your life events mirror your own special sparkle.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you prosperous? What does prosperity mean to you?</p>
<p>Apparently to lots of folks prosperity means owning the largest most elegant home. They must enjoy the finest dining and entertainment. When their bank account is so full they can’t imagine where next to invest the over flow, they feel prosperous. And, oh yes, their automobile is the latest model and definitely the most expensive. Perhaps they also employ a maid and a chauffer.</p>
<p>Then to other people prosperity is having true friends. Those friends who are always willing to lend a helping hand when needed. To those “other” people it  is also knowing who their “real self” is both physically and spiritually. They know without a doubt they are prosperous and filled with unlimited abundance because they came to this earth with talents and abilities to bring purpose and joy to their lives.  They realize they arrived to be caring and generous with others as well, learning all the while through love and forgiveness.</p>
<p>It is that feeling of innate security that lives in their hearts, the personal confidence that comes from the knowledge that they will always know what to do, what actions to take, how and when. For them it certainly is having just what they need when they need it but with no particularly urgent need for excess whether that need be food, shelter or transportation.</p>
<p>So what is prosperity to you? I have to emphasize that I have no quarrel with those who live the richest of lives with money to spare. My only thought is that a rich life also must include a spiritual balance that comes from give and take. When you have much and live triumphantly in a state of riches without the fear of loss, then you can be free to help others generously in a multitude of ways.</p>
<p>However, if there is always the need to jealously guard your fortune, there can be no joy, peace or contentment. It seems there is simply never “enough”. True prosperity is a joyous sharing of your heart with others. It depends on a different way of thinking and acting stretching yourself far beyond acquiring just the things that money can provide. If you are able to bring out the highest and best qualities in yourself and others, you have attained the ultimate in riches.</p>
<p>After all, when everything is said and done, we are a creation of the most high spirit. Yes, we live in the confines and demands of an earthly body but our responsibility will always be to express our divine spark in the best way possible. We feel the urge the strong pull to use our talents, expand our gifts and offer them to others.</p>
<p>We are here to learn to love and learn in a thousand different ways. For each of us to practice love is to unconditionally embrace, honor and respect the divine spark existing at the heart of every living person and thing.</p>
<p>At the same time you must never forget your own spiritual origin. You are a perfect light and love filled spirit enjoying a human experience. Remember to honor your own wondrous soul! You are unique, special and important. For all those reasons you now are and will always be abundant, prosperous, rich and secure. This is your birth right.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2011, Year of Mastery? I can almost hear you say, “Are you crazy? It was the worst year I can remember. First there were a series of disasters in the world and then at least three or more in my personal life. What kind of ‘mastery’ is that??!!</p>
<p>O.K. I know many of us have seen our dreams dissolve or at least take a startling side track. I realize globally it has been a year  of distressing weather. Hundreds of souls left the planet to “go home”. Many of the institutions we had counted on, depended on, simply failed.</p>
<p>On Sunday January 1, 2012 in  an attempt to sooth our lives and emotions, perhaps improve our upcoming experiences, many churches and other groups held “burning bowl” ceremonies. The very personal situations that individuals wanted to release from 2011 were written on slips of paper and burned. That is fine but I just have a different point of view.</p>
<p>For me 2011 was a year when magnificent changes in perspective began to appear. People began to accept more responsibility for their own lives. Suddenly it became clear that each of is the architect of our own personal future.</p>
<p>In fact with meditation and perseverance many of us diligently searched and began to find our own answers. We began listening to our own spirits and higher selves. We no longer depended on governments or corporate institutions to think for us. That is what I see as the beginnings of Self Mastery!</p>
<p>Yes, for me 2011 was a beautiful time. I found wonderful new friends. I expanded my healing-teaching practice in ways I had not considered previously. New practical tools for teaching intuitive development came to me. I earned my Clinical Hypnotist certification.</p>
<p>I will always see 2011 as a time of great personal progress. It was a time when I assimilated new ideas, new ways of living. Even in the difficult and “prickly” times, and there were many,  I understood the advantages of change no matter how sudden, dramatic and startling.</p>
<p>I do not wish to “burn” any of 2011. Instead I intend to carry the lessons learned and the knowledge acquired into 2012 to be analyzed, understood, incorporated and used in my new year to the best of my ability.</p>
<p>While I am eagerly anticipating what the new year may bring, I remain steadfastly grateful for every one of my experiences of the year just past. At least from my point of view 2011 was indeed a “Master Year”.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NEW BEGINNINGS</p>
<p>Dawn comes. It is a new day. It is a new beginning and a new chance. Whatever you want to change, whatever you want to create for your life. You have the power. The time to start is now.</p>
<p>No need to wait for a new week, a new month or a new year. Start today with this moment, this brand new day. Your future starts now with one small change at a time as you begin manifesting your vision, your dream.</p>
<p>So many times, far too many times, we put off, delay, and postpone our greatest desires until… Until what? Until conditions are perfect? They never will be. Until everyone agrees with our plan? Believe me, you will never get “everyone” to agree on anything. Until conditions are right? Ha! Conditions are always in flux. Putting your life on hold “until” just allows your visions to fade and die.</p>
<p>I encourage all of us to push forward with joy and enthusiasm, taking whatever actions seem right to us. Let us decide to use our highest wisdom, believe in our own Spirit-infused intuitive natures and begin to accomplish our future today.</p>
<p>Yes, New Year’s resolutions are fine but what about the Monday starting the week resolutions? Even better could we perhaps decide to wake <span style="text-decoration: underline;">every</span> morning with the enthusiastic belief that this very day we can and will accomplish the next step in our life path goals?</p>
<p>I am suggesting that each of us make a plan and hold that plan close in our hearts. Give your ideas the love and energy they deserve. Expect growth, expect blooming. The results will come.</p>
<p>Know that you may encounter opposition from friends and even family. You may be subjected to unwanted advice. Not everyone will understand or agree with the things you do for your own progress. Nevertheless do not let anything or anyone stop you from acting on your personal truth.</p>
<p>You are the one in charge of shaping your life in the direction it was always intended to go. You are free to be the your very best you. Do not give your precious power away by letting others dictate what is right for you.</p>
<p>Each one of you is unique, special and valuable. Your talents, your skills, your outlook are all your personal gifts and attributes. You are not like anyone else. Be proud of your individuality and use it for your special brand of service in this earth life.</p>
<p>The actions that each of us takes now are the forerunners of our future. Don’t sit on the sidelines. Give your best self to life today.</p>
<p>“If I ruled the world</p>
<p>Every day would be the first day of Spring</p>
<p>Every heart would have a new song to sing”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Just words from an old song but each of us can put that kind of exciting, expectant, uplifting energy into every day. All we need do is use each moment to give our love and energy to our own unique visions. Then with joy and enthusiasm be ever grateful for the life we all share! The choice is yours. Would you like to have every day the first day of a Spirit-filled Spring? All things are truly possible.</p>
<p>As always I am here to help support your personal visions with a psychic consultation, a chakra clearing or hypnosis for habit change, past life regression or self-esteem issues. Call for your private appointment Reverend Lois Cheney (928)300-2030 or e-mail: RevLois@gmail.com.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>GET A “JUMP” ON THE NEW YEAR!</p>
<p>I am willing to bet that most of us would like to experience a new and improved year in 2012! One way to start your personal New Year on the right note is to level the playing field by getting accurate insightful advice from Spirit, your guides, your loved ones on the other side, as well as from your own high self.</p>
<p>What I am suggesting is that to improve any future life experience you need more than just another new year’s resolution. You need a well thought out plan. One way to make that plan is with the help of a clairvoyant psychic reading. I encourage clients to book their new year reading today for improved health, love and success in the coming months!</p>
<p>Whether a client chooses to see me in my Sarasota Florida home or receive their reading by telephone, I suggest it is best if they are prepared for their private session with every one of their questions. When they will take the time to think out all their questions in advance and perhaps even write them down, the result is, as their reading progresses, they begin obtaining clear cut ideas of what actions they need to take.  They can confidently plan the steps needed to create the changes they desire.</p>
<p>Weeding out parts of your life experience that are not working or those parts that are creating unrest, even havoc, and replacing them with more positive direction becomes easier when one’s own guides and angels are invited to help.</p>
<p>Each one of you has special talents, very special abilities and the way that you use, amplify and expand those creative aspects of yourself makes all the difference in your personal results and life experience. While you may be similar in ability to someone else, you are completely unique in the way you approach living your life and manifesting your dreams.</p>
<p>Because each one of you is special and unique the truth is this: one set or firmly fixed approach for happiness, success and fulfillment will never fit everyone! The very fact of your individuality is the reason I suggest “ramping up” for the New Year of 2012 by booking your private psychic clairvoyant reading.</p>
<p>Using a psychic reading to obtain a fresh look at your life path at this particular time can yield an amazing number of positive and dynamic ways to breathe new energy into your experiences.</p>
<p>Book your psychic reading today by calling me Rev. Lois Cheney at (928)300-2030 or E-Mail: <a href="mailto:RevLois@gmail.com">RevLois@gmail.com</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CAGES?</p>
<p>Unfortunately it seems to me that we are all living in a world of cages. Holding tight to our lives we are trapped by our own ideas of right and wrong, up and down, in and out. I believe we have created individual steel-walled, reinforced mental cages. As esoteric, enlightened or spiritual as we may feel we are, for many of us it is still only occasionally that we take a chance to peek out and get a glimpse of, or a feel for, the world that others occupy.</p>
<p>Having taken the brief opportunity to weigh and judge the ideas and lives of others, we quickly dart back into the mental prison of our own making. Is it fear that makes us act this way? Perhaps we are fearful that our concepts are not as perfect as we perceive them. Are we fearful of the possible contamination of our minds by other points of view? Or could it possibly be that we are simply more comfortable with what we “<span style="text-decoration: underline;">know</span>” than the unknown and un-experienced?</p>
<p>Consider this: we do know that our physical world is not at all as solid as it appears to be. Even our bodies are more air and space than anything else. Quantum physics tells us we are the ultimate in “spaciousness”. All those molecules and atoms we see as the real and solid “us” are in constant motion: grouping, regrouping, changing. So much movement happening continually that in theory any one of us could be displaying physical sickness in one nanosecond and through a focused intention on our part be well and healthy in the next instant. Change is that much a part of our reality. We and our world are malleable.</p>
<p>So if we acknowledge that our personal bodies are very much nonsolid and ultimately highly changeable, perhaps our ideas cannot be, should not be, solid as well. Maybe we should approach our thinking with the possibility of infinitely ranging, ever changing, and flexible thoughts rather than finite.</p>
<p>If we take a closer look at some of our lively nighttime dream adventures, it becomes obvious there is utterly no restriction of ideas or thoughts within that world of ours. Creativity reigns in those productions. Perhaps we might look at that level of fluidness as something to acquire or at least experiment with in daytime thought.</p>
<p>On a scientific level, the only way advances have occurred is through the efforts of those curious souls who were freely exploring and embracing the principle of “what if?” I believe the time has come that we must begin to see our world and our lives that way. I encourage you to bring “what if?” to your everyday method of thinking. It will not hamper your decision making. It will simply enlarge your possibilities.</p>
<p>For instance, what if there other ways to live, share and enjoy? What if I can accept and love others more while judging less? What if my ideas and beliefs could benefit from a good old fashioned expansion and new direction? What if I could help mother earth in a hundred different ways? What if I could see others from a higher point of view? What if I can acknowledge that Today is as Wonderful, Useful and Beautiful as Tomorrow?</p>
<p>Always remember when those new ideas come, write them down. Keep a journal. The simple act of writing your ideas in detail allows you to access growth-filled power and energy for the expansion of their innate concepts.</p>
<p>As you are reading this, know that I wish you, your family, your friends and your loved ones the dual blessings of great wisdom and all pervasive love.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, quitting is easy, so simple to succumb to the depressing hopelessly negative energies that seem to surround us today and just give up. All too easy to let go, embracing defeat, when we see financial institutions failing, countries torn apart by war and devastating weather phenomenon striking over and over again.</p>
<p>But why should we let any of this drive us down? What we need to acknowledge and fully embrace is this fact: through all of this we continue to be individually capable of designing the success of our own lives. Do not give up! The truth remains we are not now and never have been at the mercy of any of the bad news.</p>
<p>How can we be successful as well as happy when we are faced with all of the negatives? The answer is simple. Our paths always are controlled and shaped by our own personal thoughts, beliefs and emotions. By changing our attitudes and feelings we change our experiences of the world and our lives.</p>
<p>It remains true that nothing, no circumstance, no person, can have control over us unless we allow it, unless we unquestioningly accept beliefs other than our own. Certainly we can accept things as they appear on the surface or we can deny their reality in our lives. We absolutely are capable of moving forward with our own most positive intentions.</p>
<p>Undeniably at this time in earth’s history, we may find it necessary to rethink much of what we have depended upon, much of our usual support system. It might be that we would find it important to create a new career, change our usual way of creating financial freedom. Perhaps one or more of us might see the need to change geographic location for comfort or even safety.</p>
<p>A wise astrologer friend of mine told me a long time ago (no matter the situation, or the challenge) “You are never stuck!” Not stuck in a relationship, not stuck in a location, not stuck in an occupation. Fortunately I believed my friend. As a result I am a lot more flexible than I was only a few years ago.</p>
<p>My hope for all of you is that you find yourself more adaptable and more incredibly flexible than ever before. I intend for you that you keep strongly moving through life’s changes with purposeful understanding and an open heart. You are the master of your destiny. Your life is incredibly important.</p>
<p>Allow as many opportunities in your life as you can think, dream or imagine. The possibilities are truly endless!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is worry? Nothing at all but the entertaining of unfounded fear. Perhaps we fear that the current seemingly negative situation is much more threatening to us than it actually is or that it is becoming worse. Or we believe our imagination which continually hammers at us telling us that something awful that has not happened, will happen. In any case through worry we allow our fear to control us.</p>
<p>When fear is left on its own, not dealt with, it grows larger and begins to spread. What originally was about one possible problem suddenly becomes numerous possible problems. The emotion of worry continually feeds itself and manifests in unexpected, unpleasant ways as our life experience.</p>
<p>If we acknowledge that emotion of any kind is a powerful creative fuel, it makes sense that we would want to feed our emotions with more positive thoughts and words.</p>
<p>Instead of continual worry expressed through our ideas, our spoken words or even worse in our written letters, we might begin making a difference in our emotional lives by being alert to the influence of worry and then erasing it when it occurs. So what should we do, what action should we take, when worry raises its ugly head?</p>
<p>There is nothing like physical exercise to bring in fresh energy and ideas. Go for a walk, head for the gym. It is difficult if not impossible to worry while you’re breathing hard from a workout. Another sure fire cure and a way to change your focus is to do something for somebody else. You can always find someone who needs a cheerful word or a helping hand.</p>
<p>Take time in the morning to write a comprehensive list of all the things and people you are thankful for. Don’t forget to include the fact that your earth life offers you an ongoing opportunity for soul growth. If worry still creeps in you also can escort it out of your way by sending peaceful, confidence filled thoughts to your own heart and mind.</p>
<p>When we make a firm decision to truly <span style="text-decoration: underline;">love and appreciate</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">ourselves </span>for our efforts (regardless of all our apparent foibles and occasional confusion) our self confidence will allow us to make our way through all kinds of intruding worries and challenges with personal esteem intact.</p>
<p>Thoughts, emotions, words, written ideas are all energy-carrying powerful creators. The test, before you send any energy into the world, is to consider what it is capable of manifesting in your world. Is the result what you want? Will you create more problems or more solutions with the ideas you are presenting?</p>
<p>It is tempting to tell friends, relatives, perhaps even strangers about your problems. The fact is no one really enjoys listening to your fears or difficulties. The result of amplifying your fearful challenges is not a pleasant nor happy anticipation for others.</p>
<p>On a personal note there are many mornings when I need to tell myself with enthusiasm that I am “young, strong and healthy. My body knows it and my body shows it!” Why would I feed myself those thoughts?  Simply because there are times when I would rather stay in bed and wallow! Occasionally I also might throw in something like “I have plenty of energy to share and to spare!”</p>
<p>Remember that your words, thoughts and feelings can be self-fulfilling prophecy! Be aware of your prophecies! May all your manifestations bring you overflowing Joy!</p>

<p>HOW NEW WILL YOUR NEW YEAR BE?</p>
<p>As we prepare to birth yet another new year, our thoughts may be on the year now past. Perhaps we feel many things could have been better. We see loss in various human arenas…finance, institutions, relationships, and more. We may have regrets over some of our personal actions or inactions, those things we did or failed to do.  We may feel abused, even victimized, by the actions of others.</p>
<p>We need to ask ourselves if we want a rehash of 2010 or if we are willing to make the effort to create situations and events in and around us that are truly new. If we want our personal new year to be different than this past year, we must begin to think, act and feel differently about ourselves and our experiences.</p>
<p>At this special time of new beginnings I offer some ideas to bring you confidence that 2011 will be completely and pleasingly new! First, forget the so called “failures” of the twelve months past. Those losses along with the days that produced them are over. Whip out a sheet of paper and begin to write everything you ever did that was a “win”.</p>
<p>Call your list <span style="text-decoration: underline;">RIGHT</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">ACTIONS.</span> Documenting your “wins” as a list will be the first step toward your intended new journey. It will imbue you with the knowledge and deep seated belief that you are a successful Spirit filled human.</p>
<p>On your “Right Actions” list write every successful, generous, loving thing you have ever done. For instance, “providing extra food for others to brighten their holidays made me feel good,” Or “I decided to finish the college course which led to my being accepted as a …” Or perhaps, “buying that first little house set me on a good road to identifying winning investments.” Or, “I made a special effort to make my mother comfortable in our final weeks together.”</p>
<p>Whatever you did at any time that brought you a good feeling about yourself, your motives and your abilities write it on your list! The act of writing anything gives it special enlivening energy.</p>
<p>The reason for this exercise is not to encourage living in the past but rather to take you back there long enough to remember those special positive power filled times of yesterday. By reacquainting yourself with your successes of the past you are simply reminding yourself that the power you used then is the power you can elect to use now and in the future.</p>
<p>What name do you give your power? What channel are you tuned to? What is your motivator? Do you think of it as the energy of intuition, Spirit, God, I Am that I Am, High Self, Light or Love? Whatever name you give to it that power is forever yours to use in any way you can think, dream or imagine.</p>
<p>By making the “Right Actions” list you will begin to remember many successful ventures for which you may not have given yourself credit. The point of creating the list is for you to visualize and magnify a winning, successful image of you. When you see yourself as a creative winner you will access even more wonderful productive ideas. You will have more success with anything you do.</p>
<p>Did you know that your powerful subconscious will always carry out your orders? Every repetitious thought and emotion you feed to it will be saved, worked with and brought to manifestation. It is a 24-hour-a-day worker. It never becomes tired and it never grows old.</p>
<p>Even more than manifesting your power filled ideas, your subconscious keeps a bank of pure “information” that you did not empower. Ask it for some solutions and ideas and it will do the research. Or ask its associate your personal dream maker for answers. You have truly unlimited resources waiting your call.</p>
<p>When you access your own “feel good” emotion you have accessed your personally powerful fuel and igniter fluid for constructive manifestation. You can focus that energy to build the life you have dreamed of. You have always known what you desire and now you have the way to ignite those desires.</p>
<p>By your concentration on your personal successes you are throwing out all your preconceived limits. When you throw out limiting ideas and concepts you are free to engage fully with your personal light filled future.</p>
<p>It is no secret that most of us can tell you what didn’t work in our lives or what isn’t working. Why fritter away our dynamic energy resources on such a wasteful pastime? Let us speak instead of how much we love today and invest our energy here. Let us speak of the bright future that stretches out in front of us. Make our words work for us rather than against us.</p>
<p>Creating a new “new year” for ourselves does not happen by chance. It takes a desire on the part of each one of us to let go of the actions and ideas that did not work and focus on the ones that did!</p>
<p>A particularly good idea at this time of year is to clean house in any way you can. In other words, if you have not used a particular item in the last 12 months, get rid of it. Give it away to someone who could use it. Recycle it! If you are falling over unused possessions and storing some under your bed it is time to make some decisions about where you are using your energy. Everything you own literally owns you.</p>
<p>The other part of house cleaning is a little different. When a particular personal habit is a stumbling block, it not only has to be removed but it has to be replaced! It is good to remember that anytime you create a vacuum by removing an idea or emotion, you need to replace it with something more positive. Otherwise that hole that is left in your life experience will be filled with the “first available”, in other words, the luck of the draw.</p>
<p>Keep adding to your right actions success list whenever you remember one of your personal winning accomplishments.  Adding to your list will build your confidence. It will impress upon you that you are worthwhile and capable of great deeds. Each one of you has special talents and enormous creativity. Believing in yourself will reveal more of your abilities.</p>
<p>Through this list making exercise you will find other new and sometimes startling inventive ideas floating to the surface. Do not ignore your new ideas. Keep a second list of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">POSSIBILITIES</span>.</p>
<p>Allow the ideas to approach you exactly as they are without placing immediate judgment on them. In other words, just because a particular idea seems beyond your abilities at the moment, too much like “pie in the sky” write it down anyway. Remember that tomorrow everything can change. What seems impossible today may be exactly the action that will work for you next week.</p>
<p>Do not throw away any of your inspired thoughts. WHEN IN DOUBT…WRITE IT DOWN!</p>
<p>Be aware that some of your best most workable ideas may come to you in dreamtime. Write them down the very minute you wake. Even if you cannot understand the metaphor or unusual language of a dream, write it down. Do not let any of these special inspirations escape into forgetfulness.</p>
<p>Pay attention to your colorful daydreams as well. Daydreams can carry wonderful inspirations that are worthy of your notice. Daydreaming is a way of trying out ideas and seeing the probable results. Let no idea wither for lack of your investigation.</p>
<p>The importance of written lists is that we are able to see things in a more concrete form. When ideas are standing side by side on paper we can evaluate much more directly. Clarity of thought is more likely.</p>
<p>Make this new year of yours shine with the ultimate in newness. Make it your best new year yet.</p>
<p>I would like to repeat an excerpt from an e-mail I received from the “Intenders” group:</p>
<p>“You are called, now, to give birth to a new way of life for yourself and for all those who walk this world with you. You stand poised at the threshold of great expansion in your perceptions, your possibilities, and your consciousness.</p>
<p>Now is not the time to settle for less or to think small. You are here to rise up and out of the prevailing paradigm of beliefs by shining your light and sharing your joy.</p>
<p>May all who seek comfort enjoy it. May all who want abundance experience it. May all who intend peace create it. May all who give love receive it. And may all who shine light live in it.”</p>
<p>My love and blessings to all of you for a magnificent new year, Reverend Lois Cheney.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my work as a counselor I have found that anyone over the age of 18 is quite likely to be carrying some amount or degree of regret; regret for what he or she did do or what he or she did not do. Occasionally that regret takes the form of all too heavy guilt. But be it regret or guilt it is still just another version of fear. We fear that because we were not “perfect” in some past action, we are always in danger of repeating some aspect of our own imperfection.</p>
<p>What if your judgment is flawed? What if you cannot access the right information? What if your timing is off? What if you already missed all the best opportunities and they are over and gone? Believe me when I say the “what if’s” are endless. Let’s turn them around. What if you are right? What if the best time is now?  What if all the energy in the world is ready to support your decision? What if the universe has been waiting for you to act and you do take action? What if your idea is perfect? WHAT IF YOU WIN?</p>
<p>Although you may not be consciously aware of it, if you are personally suffering with any of that emotional/mental heaviness called fear, it may have come from your acceptance of what others have told you was “wrong” or “bad”. Those ideas may have been pushed on you years ago from friends, spouses, parents, employers or others but the origin is not important. What is important is your reaction to that useless injurious acquired guilt, your decision to carry it on forever or to drop it and let it go. Each of us must take charge of our beliefs and those accompanying attitudes.</p>
<p>Whether we call it regret, guilt or fear it definitely has the effect of “dampening down” the Spirit. It causes one to live way too much in past hurtful events. When we live in past unhappiness we create present time unhappiness. In the extreme example, through our heavy thoughts and feelings, we recreate the past by manifesting similarly depressing situations in our future. Certainly not the reality we would wish to lay on ourselves and to experience yet one more time.</p>
<p>If we spend time over analyzing, reevaluating and in essence amplifying our past failures or mistakes, it leaves us with no time, impetus or desire for moving ahead. What is urgently needed is our own permission to start from where we are and begin again creating our most positive heartfelt desires.</p>
<p>If we look honestly at what we want from our lives it becomes obvious that we need to impress upon ourselves, upon our thoughts, our feelings, that not only are new beginnings possible and available, those new beginnings are standing in the wings waiting for us to acknowledge them. All the possibilities are there eagerly anticipating some sign from us that we are willing to take personal action on our own behalf to move ourselves forward.</p>
<p>There are a lot of avenues or ways in which we become fearful, stuck or lost. When a close loved one or friend leaves us through death or simply moves away, it can leave us with a damaged sense of self. Perhaps we feel somehow we caused the leaving, we were guilty of not doing this or that for their sake. Again we may feel we used inappropriate action or words. Whether or not we were overly dependent on the other person, nevertheless their leaving seems to leave a temporary hole in our lives.</p>
<p>It is natural to experience a period of grieving over any loss but after a reasonable time it is important then to move ahead with life. There comes a time when we must again see the love and beauty around us and within us. We need to acknowledge the wonder of our lives. We simply do not have the right to let the life God gave us to wither away unused and unfulfilled. We need to once again access our life path with the help of our heart and soul inspired dreams.</p>
<p>Sometimes a similar period of fear and grieving may assail us when for a reason or reasons that may be altogether unexpected and possibly quite unclear we lose our employment or other valuable financial assets. We worry we cannot even try something new. We feel the loss was caused by something we did wrong. The thought of having to forge ahead to a new more joyful way of living and earning leaves us feeling weak or incapable. What we should acknowledge is the possibility that with this apparent loss there is the arrival of a good chance, a genuine opportunity to try a new path. There is every reason to believe that better things lay ahead of any loss if we will agree to become positive explorers looking to the Light.</p>
<p>Whatever you may have heard, whatever you may have been told, you are neither too old nor too young to start again. And no, you are not too tall, too short, too fat, too thin or too inexperienced.</p>
<p>So you say you did not go to this college or that school? Where is your passion; in other words, what subject draws you in and will not let you go? What do you wish to learn? Find the teacher. Find the course. TEACH YOUR SELF!  You have full ability to take action today. Whatever your goal one little step a day will bring you there. Just start.</p>
<p>You don’t have the money? You don’t have the social standing? You need better clothes? You don’t have the right friends? You feel you are all alone. No one to help you. We can all find excuses. Let’s decide not to. Instead let’s take action.  Talk to your guides. Talk to your angels. Talk to your high self. All of your helpers are your loving allies. They simply stand by, waiting for your call.</p>
<p>Begin with what you have. Begin right where you are. You are valuable. Don’t waste yourself and your time. Keep your efforts going till you accomplish your goals. There is always more than one way up the hill. If you sincerely want to find your road and are willing to begin by putting your energy into the hunt, you will find it. You will keep on keeping on till you find yourself at the top.</p>
<p>Select a personal journal and begin today writing in it. Fill it full of your optimistic ideas, your positive faith-filled dreams. Even if they seem impossible or improbable, write them down anyway. What looks impossible today may very well be the perfect idea tomorrow.</p>
<p>This is your private book. In privacy read your ideas out loud to yourself again and again. Adjust them as you feel led until you are certain they are whole. You may have that perfect idea or desire that is capable of drawing in all manner of assistance perhaps even entrepreneurial help and financing if that is what is needed. You may have an idea that will change your whole life or change the world.</p>
<p>Suppose your dream has always been to travel. Get a scrapbook started with all kinds of routes and pictures. Cut out itineraries. Put energy into your choices. I remember reading of the success of a single lady who wore a colorful dress printed with pictures from various foreign countries. She wore her “creation dress” at every opportunity. Somehow her programmed trips just seemed to find her.</p>
<p>If you are looking for a new life partner, what sort of person would fit with your personality and lifestyle? Don’t be afraid to put the details down in writing in your journal. Get down to the specifics and then decide if you might need to make some adjustments to yourself. Perhaps taking part in some more outgoing social events might be in order. It is hard to meet people if you are hiding out at home. Maybe your smile has been under utilized lately. You can fix that!</p>
<p>Whatever you wish to create try to see it as a whole picture, the completed manifestation. Imprint it on your mind. Really feel the feelings it would give you. How would the satisfying results affect you? What results would you see? Then start believing you have those results right now. You and your imagination have limitless power. Create your new beginning in any form and in any way you wish! Not even the sky is the limit.</p>
