New year, new decade. Have you made a promise to treat yourself as well as you would a beloved? Is your resolution to be more honest about your feelings, to open the channels of communication between yourself and those you love? Have you made a wish and written it down? What is it you most want for yourself this year? Love? Stability? Creativity? Companionship? Then take that desire and give it back to the world. If you want love, give love - rock crack babies in hospital, read to the blind, man a suicide hotline. If you want stability, be there for someone who needs you. If you want creativity, help a child or old person find their own. And if you want companionship, be a companion to one of the millions of psychologically or physically isolated people in this world. The golden rule: what you give out always comes back!

And whatever you do, don't forget to print a number of these up, fill them out to yourself or one you love to whatever sum you like, and let the universe do the rest! You don't have to worry about how, when, or why ... if your intention is loving, the money will follow. We tried it and - unbelievably enough - it works! So thank you to the lovely Rhonda Byrne for The Secret.
Marcus Aurelius, immortalized in Ridley Scott's film Gladiator, once said: "The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts; therefore guard accordingly." In The Deeper Wound, Deepak Chopra writes: "Suffering can be defined as the pain that makes life seem meaningless … Don't be afraid to ask for contact. Reach out."
