Welcome 2015: Happy New Year!
New Year’s Day. A fresh start. A new chapter in life waiting to be written. New questions to be asked, embraced, and loved. Answers to be discovered and then lived in this transformative year of delight and self-discovery. Today, carve out a quiet interlude for yourself in which to dream, pen in hand. Only dreams give birth to change. Sarah Ban Breathnach

Welcome 2015: Happy New Year!
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re doing something. Neil Gaiman
Happy New Year! For several years, I’ve sent out the twelve gifts/blessings below because they’ve been a positive influence on how I spend my year. Instead of New Year’s resolutions, I offer each of you all twelve gifts and encourage you to practice choosing one as a point of focus every month. Contemplate one each month and note how it has helped shape your decisions. Words have tremendous power and these words can be used as monthly affirmations to help us along. Enjoy them and have an abundantly blessed 2015! Here are my twelve 2015 Happy New Year gifts/blessings/wishes for each of you:
♥ Health
♥ Happiness
♥ Hope
♥ Abundance
♥ Grace
♥ Peace & Love
♥ Wisdom
♥ Friendship
♥ Goodwill
♥ Success
♥ Adventure
♥ Divine Protection
You may create your own wish list of twelve and try using the suggested tips on affirmations above. What did you do on January 1, 2015? Happy ♥ New ♥ Year!

Positive Motivation Tip: Each new year offers us an opportunity to start with a clean slate. Make the best of yours in 2015.

Great site!
I like your positive list!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
I have been working on a list of wishes. I’m hoping to finish it tomorrow. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you too! 🙂
A new year is a fresh start. I can use motivation and look forward to our posts. Thank you.
Happy New Year, dear Elizabeth! I just created a new board for Pinterest called Happy New Year 2015…and your post is the first one I chose to post. I love your list of blessings. Thank you! And to you I wish all things good and wonderful for 2015.
Oh dear Vivian! Happy New Year! I will follow it on Pinterest Thank you!
I hope you year is very fun, fulfilling, and wonderful! I am hoping for the same for myself!
Happy new year to you as well! Thanks for all the motivation!
Happy New Year! ! Looking forward to a lot more beautiful pictures from you this year.
Great blessings. Good luck in 2015!
Happy New Year! 🙂
A new beginning and a fresh slate. Love this time of year.
Happy New Year to you. Wishing you a safe, happy and prosperous new year.
Those words each so deep and full of meaning. I really like the idea of focusing on one each month!
What a great idea! I may have to do this, I haven’t heard of it before. You chose some great words!
You give us some really great ideas. I think we all could use some encouragement sometimes. Thanks.
Happy new year Elizabeth! All the best with a new year and more mistakes ! I loved your positive list !
Thank you!
I spent January 1 with family, as we always do. It’s a practice that my Mom has instilled in us and it’s a mortal sin for her to not be with family on New Year’s Day. After all, family is love.
It’s always great to start the year on a positive note – it helps attract positive energy. I wish you a lot of opportunities, more love, and more reasons to smile in 2015. Happy New Year, Elizabeth.
Happy New Year! I didn’t really do much on the first of the year. Spent time with my children! I hope everyone has a great new year this year!
This is a great idea. I started the year off by sitting on the couch with my feet up. I am going to try to relax a little more this year.
Thank you for your beautiful blessings/wishes Eliz, I wish you all the best as well =) May 2015 be awesome!
I love your enthusiasm and outlook!
I love this idea, focusing on different things each month is a great way of enriching your lives! Happy New Year!
I like the idea of the 12 gifts and how we all have the start of a new month for a clean slate. I think these help us focus on doing good and in being good every single month in 2015 and hopefully every single day of this year. May you continue to be blessed as well this year, Elizabeth.
Good list, I’m not sure what I’d out on mine right now. Probably some similar things.
Happy New Year to you and yours!
Happy new year, wishing you a blessed start. It’s true a new year breaths potential everything like opportunities to make new friends, to find new job etc.
Like the quote at the top, making mistakes is important but only if you learn from them. If you don’t reflect and learn from them, you are bound to keep making the same mistakes!
Those affirmations are great to have. 2015 is my year for really living and positivity, it’s going great so far 🙂
Happy New Year. Woshing all the best this 2015. I’ve have my wishes too.
Your list is amazing in putting our lives to a new horizon. New year brings inspirations and challenges.
Happy New Year!!! You have listed all the great things that people wish to have this year. I wish and I hope that we all can have all these things in life.
The 12 points are so comprehensive 🙂 I feel so well-covered for the upcoming year ahead! Happy New Year to you too ;D
Happy, prosperous, blessed New Year to all! (I had difficulty snapping out of my holiday mood and but had to go back to work today.) Claiming a positive 2015 for me and my family. – Fred
What a great idea to actively practice one each month! I love it. 🙂 Happy New Year to you!!
I think I’m a little late, but Happy New Year to you as well. Hope you will continue to inspire us with your awesome quotes and positivity.
Happy 2015! I am starting the year filled with motivation and have high hopes for a great year!
I love this! What a great focus for each month. Here’s to health for January!
I agree, words have power indeed. Some people tend to take words for granted when fact is, revolutions are started through words.
A new year is a new start. May you have an awesome 2015.
Love your list – I wish all of those things to you as well! <3
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year.. Cheers to a great year ahead!
This we can all use a little motivation to get 2015 off to the right start!! Happy new year 🙂
I love how new year is always motivating people. Its technically just a number, but it seems to matter quite a lot. I still love it though! Happy new year!
Happy New Year! I think I am going to love this site~
I like your list but I am enjoying the photo even more. When I pinned it I pinned it to my “Ignite Your Motivation” board. I felt it really fit.
I like that name Ignite your motivation. Haha! Thank you. 🙂
Wishing you a Happy New Year too! I didn’t make a wish list like that but I love the idea!
I absolutely love your post of inspiration for 2015. Very enlightening as well, Happy New Years!!
Happy New Year! !! It was a great year in 2014, hope 2015 is even greater~~~
Lovely list of words to contemplate and live by~ I especially resonate with ‘Hope’ and ‘Adventure’… There’s something to be said for looking outwards, to unknown potential and opportunity…. that keeps you going. 🙂 Great monthly focuses!

I agree with you wholeheartedly! If you are not making mistakes you are not growing as a person or learning new things.
love all of the pictures and sites listed. ty. really hope 2015 is better than 2014 or previous yrs.
I’m glad to see health as number one because I can attest that if you don’t have that, might as well forget about the others.
Thank you Elizabeth, what a wonderful way to start the new year! So easy to focus on one per month to, so there is no excuse not to..
I was so ready to welcome the new year! Now, I’m trying to get AHEAD and not fall behind. Nice motivation for me!

I love it! Thank you for the positive motivation for 2015! Our family worked on our family vision board for 2015 on the first – that’s our annual New Year’s tradition.

Stopping by from Mom Blog Society Blogger FB! Thanks so much for the motivation! For the new year, we definitely need to stay inspired and motivated to do better and be better 🙂 You should make an infographic on this post, I think it would make a lot of people pin it up and print it for reminders 🙂
