There are big changes happening in our society. We can embrace them and create better lives for ourselves or resist them and create more strife, more hate, more crime, and more un "happiness".

Let's take the high road and work for change, for happiness for ourselves, for each other and for our society. each other. We are so lucky to live in a country, where we have freedom to be authentic, freedom to live a life of abundance. All we have to do is "change our thinking patterns". If we want to feel better, improve our relationships or change our behavior, our thoughts are the place to start. Our thoughts become our feelings and our feelings become our actions. This new way of thinking is contagious which is why so many people are excited about President-elect Barack Obama. The thoughts and actions of the first African American President is very different from what we have had during the last administration. Not better, not worse.... Just different It will be interesting to see how the changes manifest in our society.

My focus for the month of January is on abundance. As a  culture  our focus has been on scarcity and isolation. (I can do it myself). Let's change the paradigm to a culture of abundance, gratitude and unity. It will take time so to accomplish this goal, this is not a "quick fix". This month, write down your thoughts. Grab a pad of paper, an iphone or your computer and during the day jot down your thoughts about yourself and others. That's it for this month....next month will be another exciting challenge. Together we can change our world... one thought at a time.
