I was having a conversation with my BFF Tricia Barrett recently, and I found myself asking this question, “Can you shine your light and be pure in your integrity and still experience love and belonging?”

I know it’s a strange question. But I’ve identified a big limiting belief in my life, so I spent the past day exploring it.

When The Universe wants me to hear a message, the Signs from The Universe come loud and clear. And damn - have they been crystal clear recently.

With the New Year still in its first few weeks, the annual "new year, new you" phenomenon is all around us in the worlds of advertising, media, self-help and more. And while this time of year can be a great catalyst for positive change in our lives, what if we made a commitment to live our lives in 2012 focused more on who we are, and not so much on what we do, what we accomplish, what we look like, what we're striving for, and more? One of best things we can do in this New Year is to focus on who we really are, instead of who we think we're supposed to be.

Happy New Year, my love! I hope this is the year all your dreams come true and everything falls into place effortlessly so that you achieve every New Years resolution you may have made.

But before I blow pixie dust beneath your mighty wings and cheer you on towards better health, better romance, better business, better financial gain, better whatever, I want to suggest one thing on this first day of 2012.
