Over a cup of spiked green tea and a bowl of organic soy nuts, we came up with the following New Year's Resolutions. We invite all you Spiritual Chicks (and Dudes, which sounds really stupid, but you know what we mean) to join us on a fabulous spiritual journey through 2003. Oh and go ahead and spend that holiday money you got from Aunt Ruth on some of the best books of the last few years.

Here goes:

1-Since we don't have the will power to stop eating until Valentine's Day to shed our holiday cookie weight, we vow to get Lit from Within to get Fit from Within.

2-OK so eliminating all debt may not be possible, but we sure can affirm our Wealthy Spirit and experience the miracles that happen as a result.

3-Sure book sales are up and that makes us happy, but we still need to find out Why Our Lives (sometimes still) Suck and What We Can Do About It, in other words how to go From Crappy to Happy.

4-Before going postal on the job, we promise to breathe in and out until the feeling goes away and then kick into high gear until we're Igniting Our Souls at Work. Could it be that when we Work It! it becomes clear that the boss isn't really the enemy?

5-We don't really need to buy a new car, do we? We do want to experience the time we spend on this beautiful planet as The Ride of Our Lives and remember to keep the top down so we can feel the cool breeze on our souls at all times.

6-Hey we're not supposed to know everything. We promise to remember that we're following The Way of the Explorer, which means we're allowed to make mistakes. Christopher Columbus was trying to discover the sea route to India, China and Japan but due to major miscalculations landed in the West Indies instead. The man completely "failed" and still had a holiday named after him.

7-Rather than looking for things to love, we're gonna do our damnedest to start Loving What Is, even if it kills us.

8-Life doesn't have to be so serious all the time now does it? We're going to emulate our favorite kindergartener and engage in Spiritual Doodles and Mental Leapfrogs as often as possible. It's never too late to unlock the creative power within, dammit.

9-Even though we're hardwired to obsess about time, we're going to think, talk and act as if there is only The Power of Now, and see what happens.

10--And last but not least, we'll take our own advice and Learn to Risk, Release and Soar by questioning everything, condemning nothing and aligning ourselves with what we want. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.

Happy New Year!!
