WELCOMING 2013

2012 was a year filled with blessings, joy, laughter, tears, hard work, broken bones, broken hearts, beautiful memories, grandchildren, celebrations new beginnings, final goodbyes to dear friends, hellos to new friends, establishing new relationships with old friends – and more!  Through every moment of everything that the year brought, the one constant, loving truth is that Randy and I have had each other to share in the walk through these adventures holding hands, supporting and loving each other.  As long as there is life there will be changes, some good, some sad, some scary; but when it is distributed over the shoulders of two people that love each other the weight is always easier to bare and sometimes hardly noticeable.  I am so grateful and blessed to have my spiritual partner, best friend, teacher and confident by my side and to share every moment. Randy’s shoulders are broader and stronger than mine but my heart grows larger each day.

I am very fortunate to have the peace, serenity and solitude of the farm that allows me time and space to reflect on the newly passed 2012 and to ponder the New Year of 2013.   I have opened my heart and mind to pen some of the things I want for those I care about and myself in our New Year.  I believe there are many things that we each can do that will improve the world one person at a time.

May we expect and believe that the New Year holds exciting new adventures for each of us.   Simply by living on this planet we will always be surrounded by chaotic energy that we will have to make choices whether to accept into our life or to walk away; may we expect and believe that we will make the right choices.

May we expect and believe that when there is a choice to make that we will choose the one that does not bring harm to ourselves or others, the choice that expresses the most love for humanity, the one that will make us a better person and a more virtuous example.

May we remember where we came from; remembering the friends, family, organizations, mentors and lessons that has helped us to be the people we are today.  May we know and remember that none of us travel this life alone and to be grateful for those that have been placed in our path at just the right time; may we be that for at least one person this year.

May we never feel superior to anyone; we are each created by the same God and have been given a sacred purpose that we all must honor.  Regardless of race, color or creed we are all here with a sacred contract.  The family we were born into, the house we live in, the clothes we wear, the size of our bank accounts, they are simply a temporary façade that makes us appear unique but will one day fall away leaving only our spirits. May we honor the divine in each person that we meet - even those whom we disagree.

May we do our best to keep our thoughts clear and to not be swept in by hatemongers to be used as their instrument to spread their ethos of enmity.   May we be used as a tool of love and light to soften the heart of others so they can let go of their fears that separate them from the fullness of life.

May 2013 bring you the kind of energy tenfold that you invest into our world, invest wisely.

May we remember those that we loved and lost in 2012 and celebrate their new life of living in the light of pure love. 

One wish I have for all of us is to make every effort to eliminate the manufacturing and spreading of negativity in thoughts and actions.  Negative, unconstructive thoughts are like sugar to yeast, making negative thoughts double.  This doesn’t mean to live in a world of rose colored glasses but hanging on to, looking for and creating more negative thoughts will not make the world better.  There is a way to stand up for what you believe without tearing down or shredding the life or spirit of others.  If it makes a person feel better by surrounding themselves with negativity they need to immediately step back and see what needs to be fixed in their lives.  If a person can only see sadness, evil, anger, distortion, lies or conspiracy then one needs to see what is lacking in their hearts that allows these things to flood their thoughts and emotions.  Fear, Control or loss of control is most often at the root of these cancerous thoughts.  I pray that we all can identify and erase fear and control issues each time they creep into our life and help others do the same while loving them unconditionally.

Spread your story of light and love to all those in your path.

 

May you all be blessed with all the joy and love that is yours to claim in the New Year.
