Do you know that you make a difference? Do you feel like a diamond in the rough that is being polished by your human journey? You are actually a special emissary of light with unique and special abilities that only you have.

Secrets of the Light author, Dannion Brinkley says; “you either chose or were chosen to be here” and “you are a mighty spiritual being with dignity, direction and purpose.”

Repeat this: I am a mighty spiritual being with dignity, direction and purpose.

Does that feel good? Here’s another phrase I especially like, I am a high joy vibration. It feels good to remember these phrases when I get stuck in my humanness. We are lightworkers and have a special purpose for being here at this time.

What are your special gifts? It may be something you daydream about doing someday. Today is a good someday to expand that daydream into reality and gift yourself and the rest of us with your special light. Are you listening to the nudges that come from your inner voice and Creator encouraging you to expand? Sometimes feeling compelled to do something starts the ball rolling in a direction that was un-thought before and opens wonderful new doors.

Our soul chooses parents and family as much for what they can do for us as for what they cannot. Here are some questions to ask yourself about the people and experiences in your life.

• What have I learned from the loving relationships?

• What have I learned from the challenging ones?

• How do I react when given compliments?

• Do I minimize myself?

• Do I react automatically and hide my light?

• Do I appreciate myself?

• Do I do things on purpose, responsibly?

• Do I help others even when I’m hurting?

• Do I feel good about a job well done and give myself an atta girl or atta boy?

• Do I let my light sparkle as I live fully embraced with the process?

These questions will start off the new year in a direction of knowing your worth. I intend that your eyes are opened to the beauty that you are. If you find yourself holding back, do let your inner child out to play more. Do something you’ve not done before. I’m planning the polar swim on the first of January in the cold Pacific just for fun of it with the rest of the polar bear people. What does your spirit want to experience today?
