I have a confession to make.  Ready? Here's my secret: I haven't made a successful   New Years resolution in years.  Yup. Failed every time! Me and my brother were asked to write them as kids and then read them out loud (I know) and I...kind of hated this exercise with a passion.  Though I understand the meaning behind it, I just struggle with it.

You know that all is well, and you can turn off your thoughts and your body and just sit in the knowing that you're totally SAFE. This blog today is all about having that feeling of infinite safety and warmth...within YOU.  All the time. Sounds
