Sitting here thinking about this past year, I am truly missing my dog.

She has really been on my mind a lot in December and January. I am thinking about getting another dog, but I am just not ready yet.

It feels like a lot of new doors will begin to open up this year, filled with new and exciting possibilities.

That being said, I am preparing myself to be in my heart, fully open, with an attitude of gratitude.

But what about you? What are your feelings about this new year?

Have you sat down and thought about how you might want to create this new year for yourself?

Whatever the case, it never hurts to set aside some time for personal introspection to figure out what you want to accomplish this year, and what the new year’s energy might be for you.

Once you’ve done this, then it will be time to step into action and move forward.

Sounds pretty exciting, right?

At any rate, when you lead with the purity of your heart, all will unfold for your highest good.

But how do you start this process?

Well, you have to begin by building on that which is positive, even if that positive involves quitting your job or ending a relationship. Yes, some doors must be closed before others can open.

We are being guided to not identify ourselves with the outside world. You are not your job, and you are not all the other hats you may wear throughout your day.

With that in mind, make sure to focus on the good in your heart. The purity of your heart. That is where to begin.

At this point, you can ask to be able to recognize your truth, and the divinity of who you truly are, and let that grow within yourself.

And if you want to continue to lead with the purity of your heart, you should try to have an attitude of gratitude for every moment, and do your best to see the beauty in all things.

The following bible verse, from Philippians 4:8, sums up these principles beautifully.

It says that “whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”

Because if your focus is only on these things, then that is what you will bring into your life.

Again, try to maintain that attitude of gratitude and allow that to be your mantra for 2023!

With that said, it is my honor to gift you a guided meditation that will assist you in moving into greater realms of gratitude.

You may listen to it as many times as you like, as each time will go deeper and deeper for you.

May you find those new open doors in your life and have the fearlessness to walk through them.

And whatever it is you’re dealing with in your life, if I can assist you in any way, please reach out to me.

Much love,
Rose Marie Swanson
