Thoughts for a New Year

These ideas came from a variety of sources on Christiane Northrup's CD The Power of Joy.

" We are who our Higher Self wanted to experience."

" In the Kabala, 'certainty' is a word for God. When you do something with certainty, you bring the energy of God into it."

" O God, Help me to believe the truth about myself, no matter how beautiful it is." (Macrina Wiederkehr)
