At the beginning of each year I encourage my readers to pick one word to focus their attention on and energize it with affirmations throughout the year, as opposed to making a typical list of New Year’s Resolutions (see The Power of Affirmation).

Be In Love With Life
Have you noticed how young children are fascinated by the world and want to explore, experience, and enjoy everything around them?

The Power of Affirmation
