Opening Comments Happy New Year! There is always hope and delight at the beginning of something new. Be it a new year, a new love, a new job, or a new life. Sometimes these things are your choice, sometimes choices are made by others prompting a catalyst for the new things in your life. It is key to focus on the excitement and joy that comes with newness. If you made resolutions for this year and have already not kept them, do not get down on yourself or discouraged. One of my favorite sayings is "Every day is a blank page that is given to you. What you write on that page determines the threads of the story of your life. Make sure the things you write are good ones." So take your blank slate that you are given each day and start anew. A journey of 1000 miles starts with -only- a single step. Decide where you are going, what you will achieve and get started. If necessary, begin again and again and again, until it sticks! Much love and luck in all of your endeavors. With Blessings, Dale and Halley Featured Article The Canvas of Your Life If you ask an artist, “what is the most intimidating thing in your World?” Most will answer you, "A Blank Canvas". You would think it would be some statement about selling their art, or acceptance of their art, or fear of criticism, but it is the blank canvas that intimidates them the most. A blank canvas in your life can be the same way. It can be exciting or intimidating. It is all in how you view it. A dear friend of mine had some challenges enter their life that required a complete reworking of every aspect of their life. The game plan was blown. Everything that had seemed settled, taken care of and on track was derailed. This individual reeled from the shock of the suddenness of the cataclysmic event that caused this dramatic derailing of every aspect of their life. It took some time, but they eventually came to realize that they had been given a tremendous gift . . The ability to face a blank canvas and make a new picture. Fortunately the event was not health related directly and so they were physically able to create a new picture. They are still painting the new picture of their life, and the process has not been without it's challenges but their new picture will be a masterpiece with a depth and quality that would not be there if they had not walked their path through the events as they occurred. The new picture will be completely different from the originally envisioned one, but it will lead to greater wealth and happiness than this individual would have had if they had stayed with the old picture. In my own life, I have suddenly had the opportunity to make a new picture. My 21 1/2 year career as a financial advisor was abruptly derailed by circumstances beyond my control. Due to the work I had done with OurBestIdea.com and my own determination, after recovering from the shock it was easy to see that the Universe had sent me a very clear cut message. But, what to do with the rest of my life? Obviously my work with OurBestIdea.com was going to continue, but there are demands that need to be met. Thusly, I decided to return to my original career choice, accounting. Partnering with a dear friend I have known for over 25 years for that venture, and Artistry Tax & Accounting was born. Wow, what a neat new start for this canvas in the collection. Take a moment and look at the canvas of your life. It is most certainly not blank by this time of your life. There are smudges from sorrow and pain left from the past here, and masterful brushstrokes there, placed with great deliberation and care. There are splashes of colors from fear and inspiration and achievement and joy. Do you like all areas of the picture? Probably not all of them, but you really like some of the places in the painting. So in your mind envision a blank canvas. If you had the opportunity to start afresh, to paint a new picture, what would it look like? This is the main element in designing a life you love to live. • To be able to see it! Call to your consciousness this New Year! Plan your new painting in the series of canvases that make up your life and use the information on OurBestIdea.com to help you design your new masterpiece.

Harmony The Power of Forgiveness. Much has been written lately about the act of forgiveness. Forgiving someone can bring indescribable peace into your world. But it can be one of the most difficult things to do. Especially if you have carried a grudge against someone for a very long time. It becomes part of your second nature to feel the bad feelings; the old hate, the anger and hurt all over again. Reliving it and replaying it in your mind. That activity runs in your subconscious like a virus scanner runs in the back of your computer. It may become so natural that after a while you do not notice the little negative place in your psyche. You visit it in your conscious mind only when another event hits the trigger buttons from the old event and it all comes flooding back. If your boss calls you on a mistake, it can cause you to have a subconscious flashback to a similar incident from your childhood when a teacher did the same thing, or a parent. It will get added to the subconscious files that create a belief that creates an action to validate the belief. When you forgive the person in the original act, you begin releasing the emotions surrounding the event. When the emotions are released the act of forgiveness can free you as well. Frequently the perpetrator of the original event will have no idea that their actions caused any harm. Confronting them can be useless; they will not understand what you are so upset about. The act of forgiveness is for you, not them. They usually do not live in the chains that you place upon yourself when you carry the negative emotions associated with the event. Forgiveness will release the lock on the chains and begin to free you. Sometimes it will take every scrap of strength in your soul to impart the forgiveness but it will be the most freeing act for yourself that you can take. Take a look into your world and see who you can begin to forgive today. Look for more information on OurBestIdea.com on this subject coming soon. Health Muscle Memory Your body remembers every event that has ever occurred in your life. Negative emotions associated with events get stored in your body, and can create illness associated with the location of the stored memory. Have you ever noticed that you have a sore spot that does not seem to stop aching? It can be related to the cellular memories. Releasing the emotions surrounding the event can help you begin to heal. Hypnosis is one way in which you can help yourself in addressing these issues. If you have questions regarding Hypnosis, please get in touch with Halley. An associate of ours Gwen Bonnell has mastered a process whereby you can use acupressure points (meridians) and tapping to improve your quality of life. One of her technologies is known as Chakrativity, a methodology for using a specific technique to release your inner creativity. Your creative part of your mind is connected with the ability to heal. Check out our Chakra page on OurBestIdea.com for more detailed information and the opportunity to buy and download the process directly. Chuckle for the Day A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor's office. "Is it true?" "Yes, I am afraid so," the doctor told her. There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied, "I'm wondering, then, just how serious my condition is because this prescription is marked NO REFILLS." Awareness Enhancing your awareness is a process. It is something you do a little at a time, day by day. Keeping your awareness up is a constant experiment, especially when life keeps putting challenges in your way. Try this, this month... when you first wake up; take a moment to notice the little things, like how the sheets feel against your skin, the sensation your breath creates as you take your first deep cleansing breath of the day. Or how the water feels against your skin as you begin to take your shower, or shave. This is where your awareness begins, in the ordinary things of your life. Find moments during the day to practice the little things that beef up your awareness. Notice momentary pleasures that come your way and how you respond to them. Your awareness will connect you more fully to your life and your surroundings.

A Story for Inspiration What goes around, comes around He almost didn't see the old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her. Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way. Under the napkin were four more $100 bills. She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, "Everything's gonna be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson."
