On New Year's Eve On New Year"s Eve we have a tradition of writing out our goals and desires for the coming year and going over what happened during the year that is passing. One list we call the "Blessings Desired" list. On it we jot down everything and anything we sincerely want to have happen in the coming year. Sincerely is the key. That keeps our list realistic. Now that doesn't mean we don't dream, but we dream within the bounds of who we know ourselves to be and what we can genuinely expect to happen. And, of course, we allow for a few entries that are far fetched and sometimes outrageous and sometimes those come true as well. And we also have one entry that reads . . . "Whatever the Great Mystery has in store for us." Because we cannot side-step the unknown. When we look over what we wanted for the passing year we usually find that we've manifested about 70-80% when we write out our "Blessings Received" list. We particularly pay attention to what happened that we could not in any way have predicted. Looking back, the unpredictable events have a course and pattern that is usually clear after the fact, but never beforehand. Try this and you will be surprised at the power you have to manifest your desires, especially because you have articulated them and put them in clear focus. You will be delightfully surprised at what happens from out of the blue. We wish you a wonderfully loving and healthy New Year! © 2005, The New Intimacy.
