Happy New Year 2009!

2008 was Great, but 2009 is DIVINE! Most people say that 2008 wasn't so great, OK- it's over now. We are now onward and upward into the NEW YEAR! I love new beginnings, don't you? New things happening as well as new births occurring, new businesses starting, new and fresh ideas which are thought about and acted upon. Celebrate the NEW YEAR!

Mid-Holidays

In the Mid-Holidays we all drift along in the Spirit of Christmas, which is very relaxing as well as loving. Family time and the Blessings of being together while the winds blow and snow falls outside feels great! The festive atmosphere lulls us into random acts of kindness, giving and friendliness toward our fellow man. Peace & Goodwill to all!

Merry 12 Days of Christmas- This is the 1st Day!

On the 1st Day of Christmas, My True Love Gave to Me...
From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics. It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality which the children could remember. -The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ. -Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments.-Three French hens stood for faith, hope, and love. -The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. -The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament. -The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation. -Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit--Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy. -The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes. -Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit--Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control. -The ten lords a-leaping were the ten commandments. -The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples. -The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostles' Creed.So there is your history for today. This knowledge was shared with me and I found it interesting and enlightening, and now I know how that strange song became a Christmas Carol... Merry 12 Days of Christmas!

Christmas Cards

WOW- Finally the Christmas Cards are done! Yes, we send out emails, we do Secret Santa presents, we attend office parties, we talk on the phone to catch up, but the definitive communication with each other is still the Christmas Cards! They may come before Christmas, after Christmas or even after the New Year~ they may be hand written, typed or computer processed, even with or without the pictures, it doesn't matter... what matters is that we think enough of each other to still send them out in snail mail! This is proof positive that we care!

This Is A Unique Solstice

This Is A Unique Solsticeby Patricia Diane Cota-Robles
http://eraofpeace.org The Winter Solstice is considered one of the most powerful times of the year by many cultures around the world. In the Northern Hemisphere this celestial event usually occurs on December 21st. The timing of the solstice this year will be Sunday, December 21, at 7:04 a.m. EST, 4:04 a.m. PST, or 12:04 p.m. Universal Time. The Winter Solstice is the longest night of the year, and it heralds the initial impulse of the annual return of the Sun, the Light, to the Earth. This year the spiritual effects of the solstice will be more powerful than ever before. This is due to the incredible influx of Light that is pouring into the planet through the heartfelt pleas of people everywhere. Humanity is experiencing the most intensified purging of the economic system, and the various other social structures that do not operate with a consciousness of the highest good for all concerned, that we have ever endured. This is a necessary cleansing that is paving the way for the physical manifestation of the patterns of perfection for the New Earth. The difficult part of this process is that the masses of Humanity do not see the bigger picture. Millions of people see only the painful situations that are happening in their lives. As a result of this limited perception, they feel overwhelmed and hopeless. This is very hard to observe, but it is not all bad. After our fall from Grace aeons ago, we became so numb to the discord in our lives that we just muddled through our Earthly experiences accepting mediocrity as a natural state of being. We fell into the terrible habit of using pain as our motivator. Unless we were writhing in agony, we did not feel that it would help to take action or to ask for assistance from our Father-Mother God. For millions of people on Earth, prayer and an invocation for Light from our God Parents occurs only when they are brought to their knees by their life situations. This is exactly what is happening at this time for millions of people all over the world. The Company of Heaven is revealing to us now that more people than ever before are reaching a critical moment in their life experiences. Consequently, millions of people are asking God for Divine Intervention. Many of them are praying for the very first time. This powerful event, in unison with the millions of Lightworkers who daily invoke the Light of God, has created the greatest influx of Light the Earth has ever experienced during a Winter Solstice. This Heavenly assistance will greatly empower the patterns of perfection for the New Earth, and it will accelerate our individual hopes and dreams by leaps and bounds. Beginning now, and continuing for the next 72 hours, focus intently on the vision of what you want to manifest in your life and the lives of your loved ones. Focus on your visions for the New Earth and the harmony and balance you wish for all Humanity. This is a rare opportunity, and we are being called to action by our God Selves—our I AM Presence—and the Company of Heaven. Be sure your visions and your intentions always reflect our Oneness and the Reverence of ALL Life.This event will pave the way for a God Victorious New Year. 2009 is going to be a year of miraculous changes. These changes have been in the works for quite some time, and now we are going to experience them tangibly in the world of form. These changes will not happen by chance. They will occur through the unified efforts of Lightworkers all over the world and the Company of Heaven. I know there are a lot of dire predictions regarding the global economy and the challenges Humanity is going through, but we are not the victims of circumstance. We are the cocreators of our Earthly experiences. If we do not like the way things are going in our lives, we have the ability to change our circumstances. This is what we have been preparing for aeons to accomplish—and now is the time. As the Hopi prophecy states: “We are the ones we have been waiting for.”2009 numerically is an 11 year. Eleven is the master number that reflects the transformation of the physical into the Divine. The archetypes for the patterns of perfection for the New Earth were securely anchored into the physical plane in August 2008. In 2009, through our creative faculties of thought and feeling, we will expand these patterns into our daily experiences.The purging and cleansing of the obsolete behavior patterns that have caused the maladies existing in Humanity’s lives will continue. But the wonderful news is, as these old archetypes crumble away, the expansion of the patterns of perfection for the New Earth will begin to manifest in ways that will bring joy, fulfillment and great expectations into the hearts and minds of people everywhere.There is a new sense of hope flooding through the hearts of people around the world. Humanity’s hope is magnetizing Legions of Light from the Realms of Perfection into the atmosphere of Earth in ways we have never experienced. The Divine Intent of these Messengers of God is to assist Humanity to move quickly through the cleansing process so that the bliss of the New Earth will manifest in the twinkling of an eye.2009 is going to be whatever we cocreate together. Do not let this opportunity pass you by.

St Theresa's Prayer for Our Peace

Saint Theresa's Prayer~ May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.

The Holidays are Heating Up

The Holidays are heating up, but not the weather! The days are getting colder and colder! Below zero now and bitter cold! Who wants to put up decorations, lights or even be outside!! Lets hope for a warming trend so Santa won't freeze! The post office was overfull today, at least it is one thing we can do inside- wait in line to mail packages...
Please dress for the weather if you must go outside at all, but preferably stay inside and sip hot cider during these bitter frozen days, maybe bake a few cookies or other warming activities, as well!

Money vs Time

Which would you prefer: more money or more time? I prefer to have more time, then I can always earn more money! Most people would rather have more money, believe it or not! Money is only good in circulation, not in the bank~ this is obvious especially now, as the economy seems to be spiraling downward, and the banks are needing bailouts. Inventing more time is the best invention, investing in more time is always the wisest investment.

Old Man Winter

Brrr... The cold has arrived. Old Man Winter has set up housekeeping for awhile. Snow is beautiful, but the cold is bitter. Time now for inside activities and reading is a good one. Book Clubs abound, and the one I attend met tonight for dinner, wine and dessert. The books were our favorite Christmas Story Book. Each person had a different one. There are new Christmas Stories every year, so no two were the same. Very interesting conversation and discussion~ Book Ladies are the Best conversationalists, and the Best cooks!

Woes or Wows

How do you look at life? Do you look at the woes of your life, or do you enjoy the wows of your life? Are you a human doing or a human being? Do you think about time being less valuable than money? Or do you feel that time is priceless? How you look at life determines the quality of your life, and maybe even the quantity of the days of your life. There is still time to look more clearly and have more fun! Do you REALLY want to fixate on the woes, or would you like to have more time and more energy in your life by celebrating the wows??

Planets Line Up for !st of December

Did you see the sky tonight? In the southwest is a trine of 3 lined up~ a triple conjunction of the Crescent Moon, Venus and Jupiter! The Moon represents The Goddess, Venus is the planet of Love, Jupiter is the planet of Luck! This is a very good sign for the Christmas and Hanukkah Holidays coming up. Also was a Venus Occultation with the Moon just prior to the trine. Spaceweather.com has great pictures! One is taken right here at The Garden of the Gods, at the Kissing Camels~ it is a spectacular photo!
