Here we are, a couple weeks into a new year. How much beauty and joy are you seeing these days? Many people are, alas, being negative and political, speaking hurtful thoughts and performing hurtful acts. Let’s spread some joy around!

Visualize yourself wearing Joseph’s technicolor coat. It’s covered with stripes and patches and spangles of every color, shining, gleaming, glittering, nearly singing. Write messages of joy on every patch and spangle. This beautiful coat does not inspire jealousy, as it did among Joseph’s brothers, but rather joy, beauty, and glory in everyone who sees it. Visualize yourself wearing this coat every time you go out. Fluff and wave it as you walk so that patches and spangles fly off. Some land on the ground and plant seeds from which flowers immediately sprout. Others fly toward the people you pass, touching their hearts with joy and beauty. Greet these people. Let your dream coat spread the joy and beauty we so much need today.
