THOUGHTS BRING THINGS Welcome to this New Year!!! Welcome to another chance to get what you want. Welcome to the opportunity to change your perspective and therefore change your reality. Welcome to hearing, once again, from me that you create your reality based on what you think and what you say. I intend to talk more this year about the LAW OF ATTRACTION and how to get more of what you want. How to release the feeling of lack and adopt a feeling of being surrounded by abundance…in your mind, body, and spirit. I’m excited about this intention because I’ll be creating my life as you’ll be creating yours. On October 29th, 2022, I casually said to my daughter that I should begin looking for a house to buy. She left a message for her realtor that night. I came home and journaled a Dear God letter, describing what I wanted. On October 30th, my daughter and I looked at several neighborhoods, and went into a couple of models, nothing grabbed me, so we called it a day. I wasn’t discouraged. As a matter of fact, I truly believed we would find a new home for me. That evening, she called to say her realtor had sent her a recommendation for a condo less than 10 minutes away from where I was currently living. We drove over, and I liked how the development looked from the outside, but the agent had gone for the day. That night I googled the development and began imagining my living there. On Oct. 31st, the realtor made arrangements for me to see the model, and it was literally what I described in my Dear God letter. I closed on November 5th, 2022. Thoughts bring Things. Focus on the Good Thoughts. You must ask for what you want and believe that it will manifest. Thoughts produce things. And when those thoughts bring you joy and peace, you must act on them. You must believe it will happen, even though you can’t see the How yet. You must imagine what it will feel like once the thought manifests and hold tight to that feeling. How you feel is an indicator of what comes next. Feeling good about the thought will bring more good. Doubting the thought will bring more doubt. If you feel it won’t happen, it won’t. But you can reverse that thinking by listening to your thoughts and acting on those that make you smile. The theme for Rita Ricks LLC this year is PERSEVERE. I will PERSEVERE this year in my quest to manifest more abundance in my mind, body, and spirit. I’d love for you to join me on this journey.

You don’t want to play HOLIDAY? Allow Me to Enlighten You. It saddens me, that with the tradition of three well-known family celebrations held in December… Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa, too many people do not celebrate in this month. I read an article from Mcleanhospital.org stating… “according to the American Psychological Association, 38% of people surveyed, said their stress increased during the holiday season. This stress can lead to physical illness, depression, anxiety, and substance misuse. The reasons given: lack of time, financial pressure, gift-giving, and family gatherings, while Grief and Loss bring another level of sadness. Please consider reaching out to me. One conversation could help you see what’s really important to you during this season. If not me, choose another professional. It would help to learn why this season triggers sadness in you, rather than true joy. One day at a time is one way to look at each day, no matter the season. We cannot change yesterday, and tomorrow is not promised, so Today is all we have. We’ve all experienced a complete shift in our lives with all that’s happening around us, and I get it. It’s not an easy space to be in. So, what are the choices? Do you continue feeling sad and hope things get better? What you send out, comes back to you. You send sadness into the Universe and it comes back to you. So, start by focusing on what you’re grateful for and allow more gratefulness to come back to you. What do you have to lose? Rita’s Recommended Action Steps: Think about what makes you smile. One memory could totally make a difference. Think about what brings you joy, then close your eyes and relive it. Think about those less fortunate and reach out. December is a time for giving and it doesn’t have to cost you anything but your time Think about WHY you’re spending the money. Is it because you feel guilty, you want to impress someone, you feel pressured? None of these excuses will matter in January. Ask yourself WHY! I am Rita…speaking to your Spirit My final recommendation is that you download our Holiday gift which you can benefit from all year. Angela has created a beautiful and peaceful meditation tape. She begins by saying “do not drive while listening”. Her words. her tone, the background music is medicinal…ENJOY!! I am so proud of her and I know you will be as well.
