<p>Every day we have another opportunity to go &#8216;within&#8217; and explore who and what we are.  And when we remember that we are divine expressions of God it helps us move past our fear, doubt, and insecurities.</p>
<p>I decide TODAY that I am worthy and deserving of the goals, dreams and aspirations I have set for myself this year!  I am grateful for everything that I have and recognize that everything in my experience is there to assist me to do my inner-work.</p>
<p><strong>Heart</strong>:  I open my heart to be flooded with Love, Understanding and Compassion.</p>
<p><strong>Mind</strong>:  I open my world-view to be more Accepting, Embracing and Inclusive</p>
<p><strong>Consciousness:</strong>  I open to a higher-consciousness within me that knows it is all One.</p>

<p>January is the month that many of us set new goals for our lives.  Some people call them Resolutions.  I like to call them <strong>Re-Commitments!</strong></p>
<p>But even a Re-Commitment has little chance of being achieved if there&#8217;s no Passion behind it!</p>
<h3><strong>Ask yourself these questions to reignite your Passion:</strong></h3>
<ol>
<li><strong> What do I love to do?  What do I spend time on that when I do &#8211; times flies?</strong></li>
<li><strong> What makes me feel Alive?  Jazzed? Juiced? Excited?!</strong></li>
<li><strong> What have I been telling myself I want to do?  Month after month &#8211; Year after Year?</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>These are just the <strong>&#8216;Tip of the iceberg&#8217;</strong> to tap into that <strong>Passion</strong> &#8211; that Joy.</p>
<p><strong>Life is meant to be Enjoyed!</strong>  <strong>Let&#8217;s use January to Reignite that Passion.</strong></p>
<p>And &#8211; let me help you find that Passion!  <a href="mailto:revellenfaith@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Contact me</a> to learn more about my Spiritual Life-Coaching!  I love to Ignite that passion within and help people live their Purpose!</p>
<p>with Passion, Joy, Love &amp; Light,</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance.”  – Osho</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Today is my Birthday!</strong>  </p>
<p>In the past &#8211; I&#8217;ve always wanted to have a celebration and a &#8216;<em>special</em>&#8216; day for myself.  Over the years the need for that has diminished because I finally get it &#8211; <em>Every day should be a Celebration!</em>  Every day is a day to recognize &#8211; not only how special I am &#8211; but how special is the <strong>&#8216;I AM&#8217;</strong>.  </p>
<p><strong>I AM Love<br />
I AM Good<br />
I AM God</strong></p>
<p>I AM One with Spirit and One with EveryONE and EveryThing!  And, so Today I celebrate all of YOU!!!</p>
<p><strong>My Family<br />
My Friends<br />
My Community<br />
My Pets (Lilly just had 6 amazing kittens)<br />
My Home</strong></p>
<p>My Life and Birthday(s) would not be meaningful without them!</p>
<p><strong>NAMASTE!</strong></p>
