Good Monday Morning or Evening to you and happy Intention setting for the year. I thought why should I show my face at all when Ollie is the true leader here.
Let’s Get Started:
- Write down everything you want to release and let go of
- Burn baby burn: Yep burn it up and let it go!
- Write your intentions or letter of intention
- Seal it and address it with your name
- Be grateful for everything
- Open it; Same time next year
Dream It
Believe It
Achieve It!
Cindy
Have a rock solid week! Happy Lunar Chinese New Year, The Year of The Rabbit!
I started mine this year and I have my red envelope with a 2 dollar bill enclosed, ready for good things.
And so it is!
Hugs and love,
ā¤ļø

I love Leo Buscaglia quotes. It can’t hurt to give this a try, Cindy. Thanks for the idea. I wonder if it works better with a pretty cat supervising. š I have a $2 bill around here somewhere too. Does the video mention the $2 bill?
He’s who got me writing years ago. Love them too. It’s great fun and every year I open it, I’m blown away and put your book sales in there too and let’s watch the magic start. You’re welcome. Wild you have a 2 dollar bill. I had to go to the bank to get a bunch. See you already have luck in your favor. Oh I think I forgot it! š„°
What a great idea, Cindy! Thanks for sharing this. I think I’ll give it a try! Ollie is so cute, and look at those eyes! Hugs šš
You’re so welcome Lauren. Glad you like it and it’s cleansing and it works for me anyway and my whole fam does it or did when I was raising them. They are mesmerizing alright~ š» Thanks a lot! ā£ļø
ššš
I wonder if that works. Very clever.
Works for me everyštime!
Happy Lunar New Year Cindy!šš„šš§”š§Ø I hope you have a best seller.
Oh and to you my friend! Thank you so much! I’m counting on YOU to make it so. HA! š¤£. Seriously, I’m just happy to get it out! hugs. Happy Lunar New Year to you as well! ā£ļøš„
Great intentions Cindy. Iām sure youāll achieve them. All the best.
Thanks so much Sadje!!~! I usually write an actual letter but got lazy but maybe more intentional. Thanks my friend! š
All the best dear friend
Thanks and to you dearest! š

They still make $2. Wow. You should have some good luck. Happy Monday, Cindy.
I know right?! I was shocked and went to the bank and got a bunch to give away! š To our good luck! ā¤ļø
Great advice, Cindy: wishing you a wonderful Year of the Rabbit š āØ
Thanks Ingrid and to you! It’s gonna be a bullseye for Archery.. I can feel it! Year of the rabbit… ‘s šš„°

Sounds like a plan Cindy, will definitely try and implement this intention outline! šššÆ
Yes.. lmk how it goes Ken.. tbanksā£ļø
Will do! šš Have heard of the burning the things you want to let go of so I’ll give it a shot.
have fun!!! š
This is beautiful. Wishing you a wonderful year ahead. x
What a beautiful way to start the new year, Cindy! May yours be filled with peace and prosperity.
Thank you Eugi!
I appreciate that and Yes to that.. that is the main ingredient for a happy life. Love it~ ā£ļø
My pleasure, Cindy!
This is such a wonderful way to welcome in the New Year, Cindy. I read your post yesterday, but it said the video was unavailable. I thought I’d come back and try again, and hey, presto, it worked today! It was delightful – I love your altar with all the winter leaves and flowers, and I will definitely try this. I’ve burned words on paper before, but not as beautifully done as this (and also a couple of old and negative diaries I didn’t want in my life anymore). I loved your poem on Spillwords, too. The idea of writing my intentions for the coming year appeals to me, and I keep a gratitude diary, which I write in every day. And as for Ollie, he is just charming. He’s just like my cat, Peanut, in the way she rules the roost (or thinks she does, anyway!)
Thank you for sharing this. I so enjoyed it all. Love and peace to you. Xx š¼šš»
Hi Ellie,
Thanks so much for coming back to it and listening to me and watch Ollie boss me.. lol. Peanut sounds just like her so I’m not sure they would tolerate each other well. It might be a standoff. hahahaha.
So happy you enjoyed it and you have done it before. It is very powerful for me and I do it every year. Oh that’s awesome you have a gratitude journal as well~! Oh nice to of you to check Spillwords. I keep expecting a new one to come out but don’t think it did. I’ll have to go check on which one that was. I appreciate you! Thanks for your support and love and peace to you! šš»šŗ
Loved this post – Great photos of Ollie!! Great advice, My Dear! Still unsure about your #1
Only because we are all made up of the sum of what we have experienced – good bad and ugly too. Partitioning some things off is a great idea but eliminating I’m not so sure of – yet.
Wouldn’t that be like having our life be an ongoing jigsaw puzzle and going back and toss bunches of pieces away? Just asking? Ha! Bellissimo, Cindy, Bellissimo!
šššš¹
Thank you Chuck and Ollie the Ham thanks you too.
I just had a re-listen to what I shared. Did you read or listen to it? Just curious.
Yes, we are the sum of our parts in a way but none of it in another way. Does that make sense? While we might experience these feelings and thoughts, we are not them. While we need to be gentle with ourselves, we don’t need to carry them around like badges. We are more than that. When you buy my book, I think it will make more sense. HA HA š plug plug. lol
The puzzle whether pieced together or burned aren’t who we are either.
Thanks my dear friend! š
Been doing a lot of happiness thinking so far this year, Cindy, basically by asking what makes me excited to get up and start my day. They are mainly creative endeavors and travel. And Peggy, of course. Give my regards to Ollie. š āCurt
I love it and you are doing just that which is sooooo awesome! Congrats and Ollie sends meows, claws and no kitties.. lol š
Love that you have the red packets! Makes me feel like I’m reading a fellow Asian’s blog, because that’s exactly what I’m seeing this CNY season. And the rabbit is so seasonal too (over here we just tend to use generic red packets companies give out for free). And the burning tip is great. It’s a symbolic thing to do. I write down my anger and throw it away sometimes. Feels good.
Glad to hear that coming from you Stuart. I was having so much fun handing them out until I heard 2 dollar bills were known to be bad luck from a friend I just gave it to. OOPS. What do you know about this Stuart? Yikes.. She said she was going to cut the corner off the bill to negate the bad luck.. ooops.. š
I actually have no idea what’s up with the two-dollar thing. We used to give out two-ringgit bills when we still used to have them in Malaysia. No biggie. As long as it’s not anything to do with number 4 or 14, you’re fine by Chinese standards.
Beautiful way to start off the new year! My daughter and I wrote things we wanted to release on glass plates and smashed them at midnight and then made an alter bringing in all the goodness we hope to attract in the new year. These ceremonies are important and I enjoyed seeing yours! Thank you š
oh I love what you did too Bridgette. What a fun thing to do with your daughter. Anything to mix it it up and let it go!!! They really are important to do for me and I’ve noticed great results.. š
Oye! Ollie
You look so lovely
Like a beautiful Lilly
Seem helping out fully
I loved you dearly
You made me happy really
So reading my love
You may also love me probably š

what a smart idea to set up an intention alter sort of, Cindy. I love this idea.. I’m gonna do this next year.
Wishing you a satisfying and fulfilling year, Cindy!
[…] My brilliant song writer friend Rhonda Gessow, who you have heard me talk about a few times before here, sent me this lovely email right after my last post “Morning Altars” came out on Monday. In case you missed it, the video is up and running now and you can see it here. […]
A delightful post for the Lunar new Year, Cindy! <3 <3 <3 Thank you for sharing with us. Happy New Year!
Thank you so much Cheryl!~. Happy you enjoyed it!!1 š
Hey this is an interesting idea. š¤
Worth considering for the future.

I think there’s an app or service that allow us to keep a mail for our future self.
Like you write a thing today and 2025 version of you receives it in mail and read it.
.
A great share.
