Happy New Year!

As 2010 draws to a close and I look forward to 2011, I am grateful to be here now. I've had my share of hardships in 2010-everybody has. However, if I'm really honest with myself, my blessings far outweigh the challenges. Meeting the challenge head on, facing each one and walking through my fears in connection with each, has brought its own blessings to me.

Today on the last day of 2010, I am grateful for so many things-friends and family I love and cherish, all of my physical needs are met, and my life has become a perpetual walk with Spirit and acknowledgment of that Presence with me in all my experience.

There are a lot of gloom and doom predictions being made about what we're up against in the coming year(s). We will be learning what is of true value and finding that most of what mattered so much to us before really matters not at all. By shedding those things that no longer serve us, we become lighter and open channels for Spirit so that we can spend our days in ecstatic communion with Spirit and with each other.

May you be happy. May you be safe. May you be free-today as one year ends, tomorrow as a new year begins, and through all the days you walk on this Earth!

Namaste!
