    Christmas Joy

    Media_httpempoweredth_bylep
    I learned so much from spending time with Laurence's grandchildren a few years ago. It brings me joy to remember how much fun we had playing in the park. Their unlimited energy, joy and enthusiasm for life are infectious. Some insights I learned from them:

    1. Be Here Now. There is no tomorrow or later. There is only NOW. Try it for yourself. Spend the next 30 minutes being in the moment. It's not as easy as it looks.
    2. The Universe is abundant. There is no lack in a child's world. They see the unlimited view. They will ask for what they want. If they get a 'no' answer, they'll ask again. And again. And again.
    3. Imagination is everything. We adults live inside the box. We see what we expect to see. Using the imagination expands our reality into unlimited possibilities.
    4. Rules are meant to be changed. If you don't like the outcome of your game, then change the rules. Change your mind. Change your thinking. Just change.
    5. Love heals everything. A hug, a kiss or a smile can transform tears into laughter, discord into peace, separation into harmony.

    We discover the real joy of Christmas when we take time to slow down, be in the moment, give thanks for our blessings, share a hug or a smile.  Perhaps if we take a moment to see Christmas from the eyes of a child, we can be in awe of the miracle of the season.

     "And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow, Stood puzzling and puzzling: "How could it be so?" "It came without ribbons. It came without tags." "It came without packages, boxes or bags!"

    And he puzzled three hours, til his puzzler was sore.

    Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before!

    "Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store." "Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more!" How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss

    May the Light of the Season guide your journey with Grace, fill your heart with Love and your life with Joy.

    Over the past 20 years, I have studied with inspiring and powerful women, each of them a role-model, each of them encouraging me to move forward on my spiritual journey. It was through these motivational women that I received the tools to open my awareness to God’s love and grace.

    It is truly a privilege to teach, facilitate and counsel others both nationally and abroad. I have been blessed to serve many individuals on their spiritual journey to live more productive and loving lives.
