“New Year’s eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe, no breathless moment of silence among created things that the passage of another twelve months may be noted; and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of darkness on other nights.”
~ Hamilton Wright Mabie
Just one more sleep until New Year’s Eve. Australia is one of the first countries to see in the New Year, and Byron Bay does know how to throw a party! But come New Year’s Eve you won’t find me out partying. Instead I’ll be home at my farm, enjoying a quiet dinner with friends and then some journalling and reflection time before I sit down in meditation to welcome in the energies of 2014.
There is such a shift of energies for 2014. Perhaps you can already feel it. The last gasp of 2012 and its buffer year 2013 are falling away.
There’s a change in the air.
Would you like to add some deliberate intention to the birth of 2014? On New Year’s Eve I have a simple fire ceremony. I’d love for you to join with me, adding your energy and presence to my own. I promise it will be an easy thing for you to do.
Each year I offer up a wish for myself, and a wish for the world. I write each of them on separate pieces of paper, and the messages I write then hold some of the shape of my meditation. Before midnight I will burn each wish, letting the energy of my hopes and prayers be carried up into the atmosphere in the heat and smoke of the fire. I will then retire and meditate upon the wishes (intentions) I have created.
It’s a powerful practice. And you can be a part of it too. There’s time to think about what you want. And then when you’re ready simply add your wish for yourself and your wish for the world as a comment at the bottom of this post.
Do it just like this: My wish for myself is…… My wish for the world is…..
If you’d like more privacy you can send me a message on facebook , or email me at cauldronsandcupcakes@gmail.com
I’ll print out your wishes, and add them to my own. The only person who will see them is me (and the Universe, of course…). I’ll honour your intentions in my meditations, and I’ll burn your messages in my New Year’s Eve fire. I’ll also hold this space for a full 24 hours, so that those of you in different time zones won’t miss out.
Together, our collective good thoughts, wishes and intentions shall help shape a 2014 that begins with love, well wishes and positive energy. What can be better than that?
Love and Blessings to you, ♥ Nicole xx
My wish for myself is to discover my true calling in life and my wish for the world is greater connection between human kind and nature. Blessings Nicole and hope you have a wonderful New Year xxx
My wish for myself is for vibrant health, free from back pain so I can bring my gifts to the world with love, my wish for the world is for there to be a strong movement towards love through there being a groundswell of gratitude

My wish for the world is for more compassion and love for one another so that each person can find a little peace in their world. My wish for myself is to forgive and release the hurt and rejection muck especially towards my mum that I’ve been carrying for way to long so it’ll make room and ill be open to all things loving caring and good to arrive. My wish for you is a year of love and good health 🙂 thank you and happiest of New Years to you and your family xx
Hi Nicole, I’m probably too late but I hope the intention still counts. My wish for the world is for people to live more consciously aware of the energy they contribute to the world. I wish for me to find more balance in my life, between work family and time for me. Thanks and happy new year.
My wish for me is success in all things money, health and relationships. My writing and inspiration in particular. My wish for the world is that oppression fizzles and true freedom slips under our guard, bringing joy.
I wish for the world that we take action to protect our planet and I wish for myself that I can find a way to integrate all that I have learned so far and apply it to heal nungeentya (mother Earth)
Re-reading I see I made a slight omission: Where “we” should have been: where “Sam and I”
I do apologize.
Thank You.
Got it xx
Dear Nicole,
Thank you so very much for having this wonderful ceremony. Yes I would like to add my wishes.
My wish for myself is to find and move into a loving, welcoming house/home where we can heal, grow and start living from our True Self in full abundance.
My wish for the world is an understanding of and compassions, tolerance, love and kindness towards all that lives in and on this beautiful , loving planet.
For you I wish continue health and happiness and love.
Thank You for all your support.
With love.
Anneke

Nicole, my wish for myself is health, to finally put this lyme behind me, to overcome my fears and live with joy. My wish for the world is peace and love. Thank you. Natalie
Here’s to a healing year for both of us xx
My wish for myself is a body that continues to heal, and especially a head and neck that finally releases the pain it is holding and lets me fly free again.
My wish for the world is that all beings realise how our actions impact on others. That we will increasingly use the power we hold for the collective good and the good of future generations.
Thankyou Nicole.
Blessings…
Hugs and love to you, Kirsten xx

{{{HUGS}}} 😀 xoxo
Blessings and love to you Nicole and wishes for your good health and happiness in 2014.
My wish for the world is a greater awareness, care and respect for the earth and all it’s inhabitants; greater love, peace, acceptance and compassion among all peoples.
My wish for myself is to truly love, honour, nourish and take care of my whole SELF; to find the perfect home for myself, my son & pussycat where we can be relaxed and peaceful; to feel peace, calm and joy instead of the anxiety and overwhelm that I mostly experience; and to have a greater connection with my higher self, my higher power, spirit guides, angels, fairies, nature and all the elemental kingdom.
Thank you and happy New Year xxx
Julie, I’m loving those wishes xx
My wishes for myself and the world is the same: Deepening connection with my body, mother earth and the universe and growing my spiritual community, I wish this for our world, also.
Thank you. Sending love to you.
Love to you too xx
Dearest Nicole; thank you for always shining your real, authentic and full of love light for others; it gives me a beautiful feeling all over.
For me I wish to surrender and trust myself unconditionally, to follow my path with love in my heart, my dancing shoes on and totally rocking to my own music. Yipeeeeee.
My wish for the planet is that enough humans wake up to these big corporates who are all about greed and leave them in the dust and start focusing on companies that are about wellbeing for all. Let use our power to let them know they are no longer needed. Love Love love to you. Hugs Fee xxxx
My wish for the world is that all beings visible and invisible find TRUE peace and TRUE happiness.
My wish for myself is that I manifest abundance and balance into my life. That money and fulfilling opportunities come to me with ease and my wealth is multiplied from many sources giving me more time to be with my husband and 8 month old.
My wish for the world: is love and peace
My wish for myself finding the right way in my life.
Sorry, this is just a tad late but thank you in advance and blessings to you! This year will surely be a wonderful year of growth for everyone =)
My wish for the world is for everyone to stop and think about being more kind, more understanding and more connected with one another.
My wish for me is to continue to remember who I truly am so that I can confidently pursue my purpose in life
What a loving gift to us and the universe, Nicole. You are a blessing.
My wish for myself is to have the health, energy and strength to continue on this sacred journey called life and that my son be granted the same wish. My wish for the planet is that we find a way to love, honor and respect each other’s differences and learn to talk, rather than fight our way to community.
I have your wishes safe with me! xx
My wish for the world is that anyone that has money give a donation to help feed, educate, and provide palatable water to anyone that is in NEED

Most of my wishes have come true – namely being accepted into university to study my dream course. But my one, big wish, is to find love without having to compromise who I am and what I value.

Finding your tribe is a big one! I totally get that. 😀 xx
Thank you Nicole. My wish for myself is that I continue to live from a space of “love over fear” with grace and ease and see the daily miracles; and see the same for my children and loved ones. For our planet I wish the same … our leaders come from a heart space so there’s peace and abundance for all. Best wishes to you and a year ahead of happiness, abundance and health. Dianne x

But next year is the big one . By 2015 I want to wonder why , for years I’ve not liked myself much , so I haven’t given anyone else the chance to get to know me . This is not a selfish thing ,Nicole, it’s a selfless thing .
Happy New Year to you and yours .
