“Let’s decide what kind of year we’d like to have.”
A Course in Miracles has a lesson called “Rules for Decision” that talks about deciding what kind of day you’d like to have. I love taking this bigger.
What kind of year would you like to have?
Here’s what made a difference for me: I shifted from asking “What do I want to DO this year?” to asking “What do I want to BE this year?”
There’s a world of difference.
When we focus on doing, we end up with impossible lists and overwhelming goals. When we focus on being, we tap into something much more powerful.
In my year-long program, Masterful Living, we do this work together. I have people write letters to me as though it’s one year later and they’re telling me about their wonderful year.
At the end of the year, people pull out those letters and say: “Oh my God! When I wrote this back in January, I had no thought I could manifest any of it. And I’ve manifested almost all of it—and some more wonderful things too!”
Why does this work?
Because when we work in that sense of unity with all life, in that unified field of love, everything is for us and nothing is against us.
That’s a major mind shift. A Course in Miracles tells us our thoughts generate our experience through our perspective, our interpretation, and the meaning we make of things.
And this deeply affects how we feel about everything.
If we feel great, we have a good life. If we feel bad, we have a bad life. Our feelings are our life experience.
So this year, instead of creating more stress with unrealistic goals, what if you focused on HOW you want to be and feel?
More loving? More peaceful? More trusting? More generous of heart?
When you focus on being these qualities, the doing takes care of itself. The universe conspires to support who you’re becoming.
My priorities for this year are simple: my awakening, my self-care, and the care of my fur babies. Everything else flows from there.

NEW ACIM PODCAST EPISODE: What to Do When You’re Afraid What do you do when you can feel the pain of the whole world?
In this episode, I share what happened when I sat down to read the news and found myself crying — not from despair, but from feeling the collective fear, worry, and anxiety so many people are experiencing right now. This led me to one of the most powerful sections in A Course in Miracles: the Special Principles for Miracle Workers.
I explore the difference between “pushing density” (trying to fix things in form) and “working in the invisible” (shifting consciousness at the level of the mind). I unpack why responding to error with anything except a desire to heal keeps us trapped in confusion. And I share the one prayer that changed everything for me — the prayer I now call my life’s purpose.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by what’s happening in the world, come join me. There’s a different way through.
