A New Beginning

Greetings my lovelies,

Hope the New Year is treating you right and 2013 is off to a good start.

I am happy to announce that I have completed the recordings for my audio book of Thinking out Loud. YAY! So now, I just have to wait for the editing to be completed and then the sound effects. This should be completed by the end of January. Can't wait!

On another note, today marks the day of my 'big' transition. Soon I'll be blogging from a different location and posting picturesque photos. Finally I have the chance to use my professional camera! It would take me a little while to get settled, unpack and hook up my new internet but I will be with you in spirit until that time comes :-)

December has been a busy month indeed...I feel like I need a vacation from my vacay...:( but it has been an exciting and fruitful experience all at the same time.

If I did not fully express my New Year's sentiments for you before, here goes.

Let 2013 be your best year yet. May you accomplish all of your innermost hopes, dreams and ambitions to be the best you can possibly be. Don't let anyone or anything hold you back from making that change you so desire in your life right now. Sometimes the greatest things don't cost a thing but just requires a little sacrifice, faith, fortitude and willpower. And believe me when I say, you will be surprised when YOUR change comes at the most unexpected time!

• If you want to lose weight ---it can be yours!
• If you want that new job or promotion----work towards it...never give UP!
• If you want that new house or car----continue to save and sacrifice!
• If you want to kick that habit or turn over a new leaf---exercise some willpower daily and stick to it and you will!
• If you want to meet that man or woman of your dreams---continue to ASK God to open your heart and mind and lead you to that person or for he/she to be lead to YOU!
• If you want to be reunited with family---pray about it and it will be yours!
• If you want to heal that broken friendship or relationship---pray for healing!
• If you want to recover from an illness or injury....take care of your body and mind and ask God for healing!

True wealth, happiness, peace, love, success and abundance is yours once you walk in faith! 

I place my intentions with the Heavenly Father and release it unto Him and I know I will receive same when the time is right. I know this because I believe with all my heart and all my soul and I receive signs daily that I am indeed blessed and highly favoured!!

Until next time...stay positive and alwayz remember to Make it Count!!

Cheers!

Happy Friday!

New Year, New Possiblities...

December is gone and Christmas is officially over :(  #sniffsniff

Hope you had a great yuletide season spent with loved ones and Made it Count! May the spirit of the season stay with you throughout the year.

Wishing ALL of you nothing but the best this New Year. Best wishes for great things in 2013 and beyond. May infinite peace, love, happiness and abundance be yours!!

Let's celebrate the magic moments of 2013 together. Let's celebrate You, let's celebrate Me, Let's celebrate LIFE!!!

Peace & ♥
Carolyn

Happy New Year!!

As we say goodbye to the old and make way for the new, let's tuck away all that 2012 has brought to our lives good and bad and welcome a new beginning. Time to make room for new memories, people, experiences and dreams to be realized, always keeping near the ones that really matter. 

Wishing you peace, love, happiness, good health, joy and abundance in 2013. 

And always remember to Make it Count!

Goodbye 2012...

It's Sunday 30th December, 2012 and the final hours count down to yet another year! If you're as sentimental and nostalgic as me...you will also be filled with a flood of emotions. Whenever a year ends, automatically my mind flashes back to all the years within immediate memory. And as I recall them, I am filled with all sorts of memories: gratitude, longing, what's if's, thank God's, boy have I come a long way, happiness, expectation, regrets, forgiveness, a wee bit of anger...at times...:S

The holiday season always conjures up all sorts of memories and emotions....some fond and happy times, some not so pleasant, after all we are only human...such is life. Sometimes things may happen to trigger it and this is when you need to press pause, rewind and deal with it right there and then.

Getting back to 2012...for me it signals a breakthrough. I finally got my wish...for a new job/career and in a way a new life. Some parts were rocky and some were great. It began my journey as an author and I am thankful for all of my blessings, talent and support. I am sure, there are many things in our life we can reflect on as we give thanks for this past year....whether it's just for the gift of life, family, children, work or good friends. This year also brought lots of new connections, renewed some old ones...some I'll carry with me for a long time. Lost some along the way as well but again...such is life, although it's sad, what is to be will be. The genuine ones that were meant to stay will stick with you regardless.

With this being said, as we look towards 2013, we attempt to put all obstacles, (perceived) disappointments and negativity behind us and look towards the New Year with hope. Hope for a new tomorrow where we can wipe the slate clean and start anew. Break the mould and don't let anyone force us into being something we are not. Be ourselves: original, unique and one of a kind! Express our individuality and let our personality shine from within. Forget all the mistakes, 'ole talk, regrets, bad vibes and pettiness that got in the way or held us back from living our dream life in past years. Let us take from it what we can, learn the lessons, be aware of our mistakes and faults and try to make amends and be a better person. 

The future can be scary but it's worth it to try something new and forget the familiar, if you want something badly enough...that way there would be no regrets or what if's. Forget about pride and what others may say if you fail. Author Robert Kiyosaki once said: “Winners are not afraid of losing. But losers are. Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success.”  Sure right! Give it a try and who knows, you might even succeed and surpass expections and find happiness!

For 2013 I plan to forgive more, let go, hold my tongue more, complain less, exercise more, trust more and continue to move beyond the past and not let it or anyone define who I am and CAN be today, tomorrow and beyond. Let's ALL live our BEST life yet...Let 2013 be our bumper year for ABUNDANT hope, peace, love, happiness, forgiveness, joy and immeasurable success in all the ways that count. Remember material wealth is fleeting, what matters most is to have lived, shared, laughed and loved! 

ps Don't forget to laugh (at yourself)!

Peace and blessings,
Carolyn xo
