December 31 … General Gratitude

Go somewhere away from your home (e.g. the woods, a mountaintop, the roof of a skyscraper, etc.) and pause to reflect on the Blessing that is your Life itself … Wait until you really feel Grateful for being alive – then scream “Thank Youuuuuuuuuuuu!” to the Cosmos for as loud and as long as you […]

January 01 … Respecting Life

Today, do not eat, imbibe or utilize any animals or animal products. Bonus Activity:  From this day forth, decide to eat only animals that either you kill yourself or that you personally witness being murdered.  And please note that it is not at all necessary to eat any sentient life-forms to have a long (actually […]

January 02 … Personalizing your Calendar

Establish &/or renew your personal Holy Days.  Obtain a standard calendar and note the day of your conception (“exactly” 9 months before your birth), and write “Mother’s Day” on your own birthday.  Note the anniversaries of your relationships, your jobs, and/or your past travels, and write in important birthdays and death-days of your personal heroes.  […]

January 03 … activating “Soul Vision”

Regardless of your particular religious (or non-religious) beliefs, live the entire day today under the assumption that everything that happens to you — everything that you see &/or hear, and everyone who crosses your path — is a direct messenger from God (a.k.a. “the Universe” or “the Source” or “Jehovah” etc).  Assume simultaneously that these […]

January 04 … Flowing Faith-fully

Start the day today by “randomly” choosing a number, a color, and a direction (note that “left” is just as good as “north”).  Then, at the time of day of your choosing, set off for one hour and only walk towards &/or in harmony with these three “signposts”.  At the end of the hour (set […]

January 05 … Respecting the Earth

Fresh water is arguably your most precious resource – and the world is rapidly running out of it.  So today, respect the Earth by respecting water — and respect water by conserving it.  All day long, turn off the tap when brushing your teeth and washing dishes (Bonus Activity: wash the latter by hand), shower […]

January 06 … Silent Being

Today, sit silently with a friend for 30 minutes.  Gaze at him/her regularly, and choose to See his/her True Self when you do so.  If no friend is handy, find someone on a public bench and simply sit next to them for that same amount of time, doing exactly the same honoring. Note that this […]

January 07 … acting on Intuition

Put a six-sided die or a special coin or two same-sized stones (one dark & one light) into your pocket.  Then, base all decisions today on the “roll of the dice” (e.g. odd #’s or the white stone or a flip of heads = “Yes” — even #’s or the black stone or a flip […]

January 08 … Music Appreciation

Some have said that humans invented music to “correct” our own discordant vibrations &/or to harmonize the discord in our surroundings.  Regardless of whether or not this is true, music is clearly a powerful force in human culture.  That having been said, today is the day in which to appreciate music in your Life … […]

January 09 … more specific Gratitudes

Take a few moments this morning and write out a list of ten (10) things for which you are Thank-full.  To help get you started, at the top of the list write “Life,” then “Consciousness,” then “Free Will,” and then “Nature’s Wonders”.  Then take a few moments to fill in the final six spaces – […]

January 10 … Respecting your Elders

Visit a local elderly-care facility or retirement community and pay your respects.  Ask the residents there for their Life-Advice.  Ask them what they think “the Meaning to Life” is.  Ask them to tell you their Life stories.  Ask them if there is anything your can do for them … Most importantly of all:  Listen to […]
