As we begin our new journey in 2006, let us consider the world of 2005 and hope that this will be a better year. Natural disasters abound and poverty and corruption overshadowed the otherwise beautiful world and made it bleak for me. Personally, it was a year of adjustment-- new house, new job, new baby....I almost feel like a new person.
Let's make this year better than last. Quit focusing on power, money and fame, and do something good for someone in need. Buy a lunch, give a hug, drive a buddy to work. Instead of hiding the good in you, let it show. The world will be a better place for it.
I will, won't you?

Yes Yes! Making an effort to be the change I wish to see in the world! One step, one task, one person at a time! :) Here’s to a spiritually successful 2006!
So glad to see you blogging!!!
I will Swan :)
Every moment is an opportunity to be of service in some way. It can be a hug or lunch for another, helping a worm across a sidewalk, a smile for someone, or cultivating mindfulness within oneself - there is always something !
May all beings be happy :)
I will!!!
Here’s a little blurb from a fun little book I’m writing:
Be Nice. Have you ever heard about the effects of kindness on your brain? Wayne Dyer shares the amazing science of kindness in his book “Power of Intention.” It goes something like this: Serotonin is the drug that makes you feel good. It’s what all the pharmaceutical companies pump into those wonderful little anti-depressants. It’s also a little drug God decided to pump through our brains when we do things he/she/it likes. It’s kinda like a little reward for good behavior, you know?
Anyway, get this: when you do something kind for someone else, the person you’re helping has serotonin released in her brain—she feels happier. So do you. Good news! Two more serotonin-induced happier people in the world! Woo hoo! But the most amazing thing is this: not only do you and the person you helped feel better, so does some random person who happened to watch your act of kindness.
