According to Webster,
‘Bliss’ = Supreme happiness, utter joy or contentment;The cause of great joy and happiness.
You may wonder what caused me to choose this word as my theme for this New Year’s newsletter. Do you listen to the news? It is anything but blissful. The common conversation of many people focuses on how bad the world and economic situation is. When you are out and about you can observe the stress on people’s faces. Few are smiling
Well, I have to tell you that I chose the word ‘bliss’ for a good reason. We have the right and privilege to be happy, successful and prosperous. This being New Year’s Day is a perfect time to start taking dominion of your mind, attitude and actions to accept, expect and receive what would be ‘blissful’ for you.
Now, you might be thinking, “Donna, what space flight into the world of illusion have you been experiencing? Did you have champagne for breakfast instead of old fashioned orange juice and let the bubbles float up into your brain?” The answers are no mental space flights and no champagne for breakfast this morning, although that is a nice idea for brunch.
Seriously, to find your bliss and follow it isn’t just a dream, it should be your reality. I say ‘should be’ knowing if you were like me you wonder if that is truly possible. After all we have so many responsibilities and there is always so much to take care of, bills to pay, people to interact with and so much more. When can you find the time?
Is there a class to take, a guru to follow? Does one need a lot of money to find it? How can one experience a blissful life when you’re feeling so overwhelmed and stressed that you can’t even think straight?
Life demands participation. We all have to do what is necessary to be productive. However, we each have a different perspective and insight into what we value, desire and need in our life. And where you begin is right now -where you are today - to reach for your bliss.
What will it take? Here are a few suggestions I feel that have merit and you can adapt them in any way you please.
1. Integrity with yourself. Take time to really ask what it is you want demonstrated in your life. Don’t be concerned about anyone else just yourself. If you could change your circumstances in your life what would you want? Can you visualize it, feel it? When you do this you might find random thoughts popping in like ‘I can’t do that because of my children or I have to wait because of this situation or that condition or I don’t have the money.’ Let those thoughts float out of your space and replace them with what you do want.
2. Write or draw out what you really, earnestly desire. Be as detailed as you like and then save that piece of paper, perhaps putting it into an envelope for safekeeping. Review your notes daily to remind yourself of what you want to see changed in your life. Focus on what you want – not what you don’t want.
3. Be receptive, alert and willing to receive your opportunities as they present themselves.
I am reminded of a story I was told years ago of a young man who desired to be a movie star. He worked for years to achieve the recognition he desired. One day he is called by an agent and told about a special audition. He had a special sailing trip planned so he declined to attend. His agent begged him not to miss the audition, however, the young man wanted the trip more than the opportunity offered. Upon his return he learned about the part that would have been his if he had accepted-he felt defeated and left his dream behind.
This is the first day of a New Year. The slate is clean and regardless of what has been in the past, today is the best day of your life. Take time to access what you feel your true ‘bliss’ is. This is your opportunity to dig down inside your mental and emotional basement and see what is really there. Dump the old garbage, polish up those aspirations/dreams, then bring them up into the fresh air of enthusiasm, expectation and design your plan of action so that you can live your ‘bliss’ as you perceive it for yourself.
I’ll share a secret with you and that is, when you live according to your own measure others will want to know how you are able to do it with such grace and ease. My suggestion is share your understanding with them so they too can find their ‘bliss’.
Instead of resolutions why not put your energy into what you want to really see in your life. After all, you are the one living your experience and no one else can know your dreams but you. Reach for your bliss as your joy and happiness will light up the world around you so brightly that the Universe will have to pass out sunglasses.
Happy New Year everyone!

Power Thought for January
“Self conquest is the greatest of victories.” ~~Plato
(~.~) January’s Chuckle (~.`)
An army general was making an inspection of mess halls overseas. At an isolated post in Saudi Arabia he called the mess officer, a second lieutenant, on the mat for inefficiency. After the general had chewed him out, the lieutenant turned on h is heel without saluting.
“Lieutenant!” the General shouted, “do you realize what I can do to you for what you have done?”
The lieutenant slowly turned around. “Sir,” he replied, “I am a second lieutenant. I am in Saudi Arabia. And I am a mess officer. Just what more can you do to me?” ~~Readers Digest

 Recipe Box
Chocolate Carrot Cake
5 eggs, 2/3 cup superfine sugar, 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa,
6 oz. carrots, peeled and finely grated, 1/2 cup walnuts, 2 Tbls. oil, 12 oz. cream cheese, 1 cup confectioners’ sugar and
6 oz. milk or dark chocolate, melted.
· Lightly grease and flour the base of a deep 8” round cake pan.
· Place the eggs and sugar in a double boiler over gently simmering water and beat until very thick. Lift the whisk up and let the mixture drizzle back-it will leave a trail for a few seconds when thick enough.
· Remove from the heat. Sift the flour and unsweetened cocoa into the mixture and carefully fold in. Gently fold in the carrots, walnuts, and oil until just combined.
· Pour into the prepared pan and bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 45 minutes, or until well risen and springy to the touch. Cool the cake slightly, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
· Beat together the cheese and confectioners’ sugar until combined. Beat in the melted chocolate. Split the cake in half and sandwich together again with half the chocolate mixture. Cover the top of the cake with the remainder of the chocolate mixture, swirling it with a knife. Chill or serve at once.
· Special note: the undecorated cake can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature for 3 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

GOLDEN NUGGETS
True Stories About Real People
This is a story about overcoming self imposed limitations and reaching for what seems impossible.
It’s July 1952, the weather is cool, foggy. A woman wades into the icy waters off of Catalina Island. Why would anyone want to do such a crazy thing? There was a very special purpose to this particular womans actions and that was a specific goal to swim the channel that lead to the California coastline.
After just a few short minutes the numbing cold of the water made it difficult for her muscles to work. The fog became so thick she could barely see the boats that were following alongside her. She could hear rifle shots that permeated the air and water around her. Sharks had been sighted and the guns were fired to keep them away from her as she swam.
Fifteen hours past and finally she asked to be taken out of the water. Her trainer begged her to stay in the water just a little bit longer, land wasn’t far away.
This woman had become discouraged. Florence Chadwick was her name and swimming in impossible circumstances was not new. She was the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions. However, on this particular day, every time she lifted her head to look ahead she only saw the gray, dense fog surrounding her. Later she learned that she was only a half mile from her goal.
When interviewed she said, “I’m not excusing myself, but if I could have seen the land, I might have made it.” Amazingly it wasn’t the freezing water, her exhaustion or even fear that caused Florence to give up. It was the fog. Two months later, Florence Chadwick took up the challenge again to swim the Catalina channel and in doing so set a new speed record.
