2015: A Year of Celebration

If you were with me last Sunday, you know that we kicked off 2015 with our sacred White Stone Ritual.  We listened for our inner guidance and gave ourselves a "new name" with a spirit of celebration.

Celebration is wonderful--do we allow ourselves to experience it often and frequently, or save it for just major holidays?  I shared a quote from "Hapacus:  The Science of Happiness:" negative emotions play a role in narrowing our thoughts.  When we are angry (and I added hurt, resentful, regretful, fearful), we develop a tunnel vision that blocks out other options we might have considered had we not been so narrowly focused.  Positive emotions, on the other hand, play a role in broadening and expanding our thinking.  When we are happy (and celebrating) our minds become open to new and creative solutions."  So celebration gives us more reasons to celebrate!
