Happy Happy New Year!
I love starting a fresh new year and 2012 is going to be a
fantastic one. The luminous theme for
this year is “Falling Madly in Love with Life”.
Life, like people, isn’t perfect.
Life will always come with ups and downs. Some moments are magical and some we wish
would pass quickly. However, there is
always a choice on how we view our lives.
We can focus on what is wrong with life (and there ALWAYS will be
something wrong) or we can focus on the magic in life.
In 2012 we will be focusing on the magic of life and those
moments that take our collective breaths away.
I’ve been lucky enough to have some truly magical moments in life- the
kind that hit you over the head in amazement.
I’ve fallen perfectly in love.
I’ve lived across the streets from a castle and literally wandered some
of the most gorgeous parts of the world.
I’ve studied in amazing places and swam in perfect seas. But those are the exceptions and not the norm
of daily life.
In 2010, I returned home to the U.S. after living in Europe
for two years. It was an
adjustment!!! It was a huge
adjustment. In Prague, if I was having a
bad day, I could jump on a tram and ride by the castle or the Charles
Bridge. It never failed to snap me back
to my wonderful reality. Here in Tampa,
FL I don’t have magical fairytale castles around the corner. 2011 was a year of discovering the beauty of
a seemingly mundane life. I’d like to
share what I’ve discovered for myself this past year with all my lovely
readers.
I also want to take it to the next level.
This year, my goal for each of us is to fall
in love with our lives RIGHT NOW! Not
after losing 20 pounds, landing the perfect jobs and finding Mr. Right , but
RIGHT NOW! Loving life right now might
mean facing the reality of dirty dishes in the sink and a screaming baby in the
next room. Loving life with all the
imperfections isn’t always easy, but it is do able.
Loving life right now is also one of the crucial pieces in
creating a gorgeous future. Happiness
and gratitude will always attract more happiness and gratitude. Looking for the magic in ordinary moments
will stir something surprising up in life.
It stirs up more magic and more joy than you thought possible. Falling in love with life means more moments
of laughing through tears and pushing through the hard times and move into the
bright and beautiful future around the corner.
Are you ready to fall madly in love?
