Happy Common New Year!

I hope everyone’s holidays are simmering down into a comfortable glow, and that everyone has great aspirations for 2008!

During the next few months, I will move this blog to my site, Love Psychics And Sages, to enjoy the benefits and greater flexibility afforded by self hosting. I hope this also encourages more people to participate in discussions. Have no fear! This blog will not stagnate while I figure out how to move, which template to use, along with other decorating issues that I love so much.

If you are stuck for a good New Year’s resolution, try reading an article I wrote about this time last year, 10 Best New Year’s Resolutions. Take some time to look at life with a little twist, then write your own resolutions focusing on what you can have, not what you can deny yourself. Life is too short to ignore the wonderful pleasures that feed a sense of well being. Reward yourself for being the delightful human you are.

Take a moment for reverence and remember Benazir Bhutto, a freedom fighter in her own right, and hope the world realizes religious dogma reinforcing the oppression, abuse, and killings of women based on based on the notion that a deity mandates women’s subservience to men, must be eradicated. The future of the human race is in dire straits when civil societies are held hostage by the beliefs of fundamentalists, Muslim and Christian alike.

Don’t forget to rediscover your personal creativity. I am rekindling my crochet, beading, and jeweler’s skills for the sense of accomplishment I experience by creating my own style, from the heart.

Finally, work toward a greener lifestyle. The benefits for the earth are obvious, but the renewed self sufficiency is often overlooked. Imagine how your independence will grow as you use fewer commercial goods, where possible. Don’t go crazy with this, though. Composting toilets don’t have to be a fixture in your home! EEeeeyew!
