Greetings everyone! Wishing you all a fulfilling and fun-filled 2012!
I've practiced a ritual New Year's writing exercise for many years. I'd like to share it with you and hopefully inspire you to try this inspiring exercise for yourself.

CREATE YOUR 2012:
Get a pen and notebook.
Use any notebook to do this. Write long hand with a pen rather than in your computer. This allows a more direct and visceral connection to your unconscious mind.

Pick a place and time.
Make a date with yourself to spend an hour uninterrupted in a quiet location.

Write your year from the future, looking back.
Pretend you are standing in January 1, 2013. Looking back on the year 2012, describe everything that has happened of significance in your life. Write it in the past tense. Let your imagination run away into fantasy. Write the events that seem realistic, that you may expect from this coming year but allow yourself to go a bit beyond the expected and let some wishful thinking seep in. 

It's about creating the year the way you would LIKE it to happen. Include amazing chance encounters and synchronicities. Get offered that perfect job. Let your business take off magically. Meet the love of your life at a friend's party or at the grocery store. You are the creator, so you get to make it all up. Have fun with it. Include all areas of your life. Mention months and dates: "In March, I met a wonderful man at a party." And so on. Make it fun. Go on for at least 3 pages. Until you hit January 1, 2013.

Save it for the future.
Store it somewhere safe. Take a look at it every few months. You may be amazed down the road at the coincidences and seeming clairvoyance of your predictions.

REASONS TO DO IT:
The act of dreaming your future into being in writing allows you to interact with your subconscious mind and see its musing in a material form. You may discover desires and hopes that you hadn't even realized you had. You also get a chance to be guided by your higher consciousness into possible solutions to puzzles that may be lingering in your mind right now.

ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE!
I read my 2011 creation late in the year (I had misplaced it) and was AMAZED by a few of the events that had actually come to pass at the exact times I had envisioned them. May all your dreams come true!!!

Peace, Power, and Prosperity in 2012!
