12 Tips To Create A Joyful 2011

Time does fly doesn’t it? The beginning of a New Year always leads me to reflect on the passing year.  2010 was full of the joys and challenges of a year well lived. I am grateful for every moment, even the painful one’s.  I recently heard someone say that our greatest wounds form us and put us on the path to our purpose.  This is part of Living in Courage!

One of the most important things I take away from 2010, is that by connecting to the Love, Wisdom and Power in my heart, I am able to direct my life much more effectively.  I learned that love gives us the wisdom to direct the power that lives inside of us.  Fear never gives us that capability, and only stifles our ability to connect to our “good.”  I have also learned that this list of 12 tips help contribute to a lifetime of happiness, year in and year out.
