Gratitude List: 10 Thank You Items
An excellent way to roundup for the year is to create a gratitude list. In your list, you express your appreciation for the events, people and things that have happened for the past 12 months. Gratitude tunes you into joy straightaway – it is a great vibration to align with while ushering the beginning of next year.

So, let’s pop the champagne. Here is my Gratitude List for 2011:

7 Top Christmas Gift Ideas
It is an annual problem because you have run out of ideas. You have been wondering what Christmas gifts you should buy this year for your loved ones and friends. Although you are spoiled for choice, it can be hard to generate new ideas year-after-year.
Well, stretch your imagination a little. Gifts do not have to be physical. Consider giving from the goodness of your heart. And so I intend to use great gift suggestions by Oren Arnold, a published author, as a basis for my article…
“Christmas gift suggestions: To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect. “~ Oren Arnold
How To Create Magic Every Single Day
Magic commands a mystical force that brings about change. It has the transformative power to turn our dreams into reality. Like the puff from a powerful dragon, magic breathes hope to situations of helplessness. It leaves a trail of twinkling stars in the wave of a golden wand. Within an instant, a moment touched by magic is changed forever.
Think back to your childhood. Think about the times when you have been enchanted with bedtime stories of Peter Pan, Cinderella and Merlin. Think back about the times when your eyes widened with curiosity, excitement and triumph when the hero uses his or her magical powers to conquer the enemy. Transformation is magical because change happens almost immediately.

111 Ways To Seize the Moment
There are many ways that you can seize the moment. While seizing the moment usually happens spontaneously, it is also possible to cultivate the idea of what to do first.
(My kids spontaneously seized the moment to dance when no one was walking on the streets. See tip #2 below.)
In these instances, seizing the moment involves dwelling on the possibility before you finally take action. What seems immediate has actually been in the works for a period.

Law of Attraction Quotes – Thanksgiving Tribute
We do not celebrate Thanksgiving with a public holiday in Singapore during this time of the year. Nonetheless, I would like to take the opportunity to express thanks to one special person – Jerry Hicks. He has passed on. This post is a special thanksgiving tribute to him!
(Photo credit: Min, my daughter, depicting what the Law of Attraction is about in her drawing dated Feb 2011).
I first got to know about Jerry Hicks after watching “The Secret behind the Secret” in a DVD that we purchased from Amazon. However, it was the movie “The Secret” which caught my interest when I first viewed it. By then, I had already started gaining an interest and knowledge in energy mechanics.

How to Seize the Moment
Seize the moment is an invitation to live in the now. The moment potentially represents a positive peak experience either for yourself or for the person you decide to share it with. It hits a crescendo. It is one open to wonder because it is spontaneous.
“Lose not yourself in a far off time, seize the moment that is thine.”
~ Friedrich Schiller
My daughter and nephew seizing the moment in The Singapore Botanic Gardens
It is as if time stood still. In that moment, you are not concerned about the past or the future. You are just focused on being present. You become in touch with the fullness of life. You are connected with pure love, intense bliss and sublime joy – feelings that spring from the depths of your heart.

3 Limiting Beliefs That Create Self-Doubt
Have you ever been told messages that caused you tremendous self-doubt? I certainly have received my fair share. At various points in my life, I have been told by naysayers, skeptics and even those with outdated ideas that I am not suitable or cut out to do something.
I have internalized some of the messages. A number of them became my beliefs. Shrouded in fear because of these beliefs, I stopped myself from living freely. It took me quite some time to break free.
If you hear a voice within you say “you cannot paint,” then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced. – Vincent Van Gogh
