Happy New Year! Are you all set with your intentions and goals for the coming year? Before we get to that topic, let’s take a moment to RELEASE 2011:
Be-Happier Tip: Lighten Up and Remember ALL IS WELL
Are you feeling a “bit” stressed? Lots of people get totally overwhelmed during the holiday season. It’s ironic, because this is supposed to be a time of joy, and good times. In trying to make things perfect, to get a long list accomplished, we often cut ourselves short on sleep, the right food and relaxation time.
So take a few moments now to sit, breathe slowly and deeply. Then… jump up and dance around with this video. And if you haven’t seen the brilliant Bollywood film called “3 Idiots” rent it today from Netflix or your favorite video store. You’ll be glad you did — it’s a heartwarming drama with lots of music and comedy… just the way YOUR life can be.
Ready? Click play to watch the music video — and I dare you to sit still! By the way, enjoy the English captions that are included in the video.
to your happiness and a cheerful joyous Christmas,

Be-Happier Tip: Advance Confidently
This time of year, we are especially prone to a lot of hurry and rush, and indecision and worry often tag along with that mode.
It can be easy to feel that it must be normal to question yourself, to fret about whether you’ve got the right goals, or maybe you should change direction midstream in your career or relationship.
Henry David Thoroeau presents us with the timeless gift of being confident and self-assured: after spending over 2 years at Walden Pond, he suggests that if we would only advance confidently in the direction of our dreams, then the Universe responds by drawing toward us all that we need.
So, this season, make a commitment to yourself that you will shrug off your stress and worries, and instead breathe in deeply and slowly… understand that the power that creates worlds flows through you (Thank you, Abraham, for that insight) and then… ADVANCE CONFIDENTLY knowing that what you think about and envision will come to pass.
to your happiness and success,
Evelyn

Be-Happier Tip: Consider His Point of View
Feeling stressed with your S.O. or mate? In any relationship, there are at least “two” sides to the situation or challenge you’re facing. Read below to see how you can find them, and why it is crucial that you do it now, without wasting any more time on fruitless arguments and giving each other the cold shoulder of disapproval and disappointment.
The reason I say at least two is that often an impartial person can shed some light on another Point of View that you haven’t considered. That’s why people sign up for coaches and go to therapists, hoping that someone else can reach in and fix what’s going wrong.
But for now, let’s look at how you can reduce your stress level by putting aside what you want for the moment, and instead take a look at what the “he” or “she” in your life is experiencing.
It’s that old saying about “walk a mile in my shoes” — and it really does work to take an honest look at how the situation looks from the other person’s viewpoint.
You will probably discover that this person is not your enemy — both of you DO want to have a happy relationship, but you’ve gotten caught up in that terrible trap of clinging to what you each think you “must” have in order to be happy.
When you look instead at what it would take to make the relationship itself stronger, healthier, happier, all of a sudden a door opens on new opportunities for communication.
- let go of your need to be “right” — abandon that old idea because it is a harmful one and keeps you stuck in thinking only about yourself and your egoistic needs
- ask the other person what they want! Sounds simple, but many times we simply assume we know… and that assumption might be totally wrong
- share from the heart what you are hoping for
- agree to disagree on the aspects that you can’t seem to resolve about the situation
- and agree to work in tandem to build and renew the love and the things that you do agree on
to your health and happiness,
Evelyn
Jerry Hicks, There Is Much Love for You Here
This letter was dated Nov. 18, 2011. For those of you who follow the Teachings of Abraham, you know the names of Jerry and Esther Hicks. I thought you might like to see this.
Dear, dear Friends,
Our sweet Jerry made his transition into Nonphysical last Friday. How sweet the Vortex is feeling to him today!
Jerry said to me when we came together over 30 years ago that given the difference in our ages that it was likely “that I will cut out on you early,” to which I replied, “I don’t mind.” His joy of life and continual new discovery of purpose kept his life feeling fresh and we shared such joyous eagerness for life.
Over the years, Abraham has consistently insisted that there is no death. Again and again they have reminded us that there is only life and more life and more life. It has taken me some time to understand this, and I honestly must say I have not yet fully come to terms with it, but I do believe that in what we are calling Jerry’s death he is discovering the next logical step of life that Abraham has always been talking about. And at times I am catching a glimpse of the bigness of what Jerry is feeling and while I am still pretty mad at him for not sticking around longer to surprise and delight me in all the ways he has been doing throughout our 30 years together I accept fully that the next logical step of joyous life for Jerry was to be found in his re-emergence into Nonphysical.
Since 1985 it has been Jerry and Esther and Abraham and I believe with everything that I am that that has not changed. I know that Jerry will continue to be the third powerful point of the triad of Energy that makes up the Abraham experience and I am certain that his new vantage point will be, as it has always been, of advantage to us all.
I know for sure that Jerry will help me, in time, release my own personal resistance to physical death, because I will not be able to maintain that resistance and also play easily with him. And my desire to continue not only my Abraham experience but also my Jerry experience I am certain he will be the catalyst to help me do what Abraham has been trying to help us all do all along.
Once again, Jerry is out there leading the way for me. But the difference this time is that I must find the way. I am not there yet, but it is my absolute promise to myself that I will find the way, because it is the most natural thing in the world to do and because Jerry has provided for me the reason to do it.
I am eager about what is ahead and while I cannot begin to explain or even imagine the details of how it is all going to play out, I am certain that it will be fun.
I am such a fortunate girl, to have been able to play with Jerry and Abraham and all of you for so many wonderful years and I am so eager to continue doing more of the same for many more years to come. I feel certain right now that not only has nothing gone wrong, but things are going especially right. It will be different, for sure, but it will also be very, very good.
I’m feeling such love for you all, and for Abraham and most of all for Jerry. And as I have said to him a thousand or more times through the years, “Well isn’t life just a kick in the pants?”
Love,
Esther
