One Word Resolutions to Manifest Your Dreams!
Join the Sanctuary members as we embark on a year of fulfilling our hopes and dreams! The Sanctuary members have each chosen a word to represent how they intend to manifest their hopes and dreams this year. The purpose of this exercise is to help each of us have a simple focus for our highest intentions for ourselves and our businesses.
Each month, our newsletter will focus on one of the words a member or members have chosen (and the articles will be posted in the Hopes and Dreams section of our website). That member(s) will share about the word they chose and about their journey through the course of the year. We will also be highlighting an organization or cause each month with the focus on how we can give back to our community by supporting causes we believe in.
We invite you to join us on this journey! It’s simple to come along with us as we see what a year of focusing on our highest intention and paying forward can bring. All you need to do is answer the questions below:
What are your hopes and dreams for 2010?
What one word can you focus on to help you achieve them?
Visit the Hopes and Dreams page on our website to share about your experience, learn about ways you can give back, and share about your own hopes and dreams for 2010! Sign up for our newsletter or subscribe to our blog (see sign up on right hand column) to be updated on tools, special offers, and events that will help you have a wonderful 2010!

The Power of Love-Tips for a Great 2009!
Every year, I complete an exercise that Life Coach and author, Cheryl Richardson, sends out. It asks you a series of questions in April and then asks you to reflect on them at the end of the year. One of the questions is “What advice would you give yourself?
This year, when I started to answer that question I found myself getting very squirmy. All the “words of wisdom” from the things I’ve learned just felt like something else to remember. That’s when I realized that my advice to myself is really very simple.
Just love.
Now, we’ve all heard this suggestion a million times, but what exactly does it mean? For me, it comes back to the most important thing I’ve learned in my life. It is that my happiness and my sense of peace come from loving…not from being loved.
This sounds like a very trite saying, but I encourage you to try the activity below and then see how you feel. Ask yourself when you are done the following questions: Is your body more relaxed? Do you feel more peaceful? Are you smiling? Does your heart feel lighter?
Here is what I wrote in my journal in response to Cheryl’s question,
“What advice would I give myself this year?”
Breathe. Relax. Let go. Breathe. Relax. Let go. Love yourself. Love God. Love your husband. Love your sons. Love your family and friends. Love everyone. Love the Earth. Love trees. Love the mud between your toes. Love the birds singing in the morning. Love the candlelight at night. Love the first star at dusk. Love your soulfriends. Love your body. Love your inner child. Love sunshine on your face. Love the warmth of a cozy blanket. Love the sound of Dylan’s laugh. Love the feel of Jacob’s head on your shoulder. Love the feel of a rock in your hand. Love the smooth feel of jade. Love the softness of your pillow. Love the wonderful scent of mint tea. Love the lavendar in the garden. Love God’s whispers in your mind. Love Spirit hugs. Love your beautiful Soul sisters. Love simplicity. Love joyous music. Love laughter. Love swimming in a quiet lake. Love the first wildflower in the spring. Love watching the sun come up. Love the ebb and the flow. Love your innocence. Love your wisdom. Love books and stories and stories! Love your fears. Love the creative rush of a new idea. Love the smell of the pages of a book. Love watching the branches stir in the wind. Love the feel of the Earth beneath you. Love the snowflakes melting on your cheeks. Love starlit nights. Love songs. Love simple pleasures. Love being loved. Love yourself!
Now it is your turn! What do you love?
Feel free to write your response in the comment box below. Did you notice a difference in how you felt after your list was complete? Share your thoughts! We’d love to hear from you!
Save a copy of your list to refer to throughout the year. I’m going to keep my list posted by my computer to remind me to start each day with loving thoughts. Where could you keep your list to remind you of all that you love?
Blessings to you and yours! Best wishes for a joyous, peaceful and loving 2009!
