Every day there are thousands of reasons
They may be hiding.
Lost items?
Rejections?
A glance that turns in to a long look?
Or, they may be in plain sight. (Usually are.)
Challenges?
New people you meet?
Craziness in the world?
Still, thousands of reasons to be happy!
Look for ‘em.
And when you find one, two, three - look for many others!
This is a fun hide-and-seek game.

As this new year kicks off, 
we will all begin another chapter in the experiences we have,
The way we live,
And the energies we put into the world.
It has been taking courage.
And it will continue to take courage.
And there can be no courage if you are not afraid.
Courage comes when you breathe deeply
And keep going.  
Through the fear.
This year will be full of bumps and bruises
Yet take us to a life we’ve never imagined.
“Soon, when all is well, you’re going to look back on this period of your life and be so glad that you never gave up.”  -Brittany Burgunder
And next New Year’s Day will be
Very different.
Glorious, I imagine!
Breathe deeply.
Keep going.  
Happy New Year, 2024!
Love,

We are living in a special time.
Not necessarily one we would have chosen.
Yet, special, nonetheless.
We are privileged to be here now.
We are part of this moment
And each of has a job to do,
Loving, comforting,
Working toward the best time we can imagine.
You are a lightwkrker.
Each of us are.
You are ever so close.
Stay the course.
Ride the golden light 
Connecting to every soul in you meet.
In courage, in love, and in this time.

"🎶 🎄 Have yourself a merry little Christmas 
Let your heart be light 
From now on 
Our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yule-tide gay 
From now on Our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore 
Faithful friends who are dear to us 
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the Fates allow 
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough 
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now." 


Love,

The two prospectors digging for gold went out west.
(Only a few years ago.  Seriously.)
They had heard a tip about a vein of gold…
And after days and days, weeks, of digging...
They gave up.
Never found the gold.
A couple of other prospectors
Decided to continue digging, 
Where the first two had worked.
Two days later, they struck gold.
True story.
I’ll let you think of the lessons herein.
There are several!

Once I read a story of a lady who 
Kept her most beautiful
Special clothing for the future.
After she died, her husband found them tucked
Into a beautiful trunk
Never worn.
Enjoy today.
Enjoy your beautiful things.
Yes, they will wear out, or be lost eventually
Then enjoy the memories.
Fill life with life.
Fully live in enjoyment and love.

When we are little
We think we want to be like the ‘big kids’.
Then we think that
We want to graduate from elementary school
Then middle, then high school.
Eventually we want to find a life partner.
And have babies.
And see them grow up.
Our future is never far from our focus.
Normal.
Healthy.
Add in a constant awareness of TODAY and its blessings.
Because today flies away and it’s gone.
Hold on to the blessings, the memories,
The joy.

Someone imagined a beautiful bridge.
Someone thought about how to build it.
And someone began to gather the people
To carry out the idea.
Change your life.
Imagine your dream.
Think about it.
Begin to walk on your new path.
Build your bridge.
Change your life.

Think of life as walking up the mountain.
You can sing as you climb.
Or you can complain about your sore feet.
Whichever you choose, 
You still have to do the hike.
Singing makes sense!
