One often thinks that the New Year marks the best place to set in motion the "resolutions" that will somehow miraculously transform our lives into some extraordinary adventure when we are: thinner, healthier, richer, more successful in our jobs, have a new car, new partner, new dog, new life...

What is missed is that each moment has that same potential.We waste so much thinking "something" will be better but in truth, the here and now is the most special, best, miraculous moment we will ever live. I know, you are looking around your space, noticing the left-over holiday trappings; pine needles in the rug, pieces of wrapping paper sticking out from under the sofa, laundry piling up (again), dishes left from last night's dinner...the reminders that "real life" happens all the time.

So you ask:"how is this a miraculous moment?" Well, it is so miraculous because it is the only moment in your whole life you have any influence over! You cannot relive the last hour, you cannot begin a project tomorrow by jumping ahead. It is only the here and now...this amazing time to immerse yourself in life.

This moment is the time to breathe deeply the joy of being alive RIGHT NOW, feel yourself aware of the connection to everything else in this moment. Send a portion of yourself into the great expanse to be part of the universe now. IF you feel there are changes that need be made in your life...do it now. Open your heart to the limitlessness of your life. The next moment is not guaranteed to you; just now...so celebrate your "nows".
