Merry Christmas ,

You know I like to make little impromptu altars around the house, mixing things up in a spontaneous way.  Here’s the first of my mini- Christmas Altars.  It’s simple, just a thoughtful arrangements and a couple of ornaments, but it pleases my eye and warms my heart.  As you also know, I always ask for a little Heart of Love message to go with them and for this altar two messages came for us to enjoy.  

The first message could well be about creating little altars, or a good holiday.  Or a New Year.

Set the Scene
A Message From the Heart of Love

Set the scene, dear one, set the scene you project from your mind.  Like a great director, like a writer of life, set the scene.  Think of how the Light will enter and fall upon all who pass through your scene.  Think of the words you wish to hear and say.  Rise each day and set the scene, writing it well and directing creatively as you go.

Happy Holidays ,

Guess what?  I’m flying to the Seattle area for the holidays!  As my Christmas present, my kids gifted me a trip to be with them and we’re rendezvousing in Washington State, near Seattle.  We haven’t been together since Covid descended on us all and I’m soOoo looking forward to seeing children and grandchildren again!  

We’ll be in an area where we’ve all lived at various time so we’ll probably visit old haunts, walk familiar paths and revel and enjoy being together.  I’m beyond excited and that’s a very fun place to be.

I love this season because the world lifts and brightens.  True, not all celebrate the same holiday.  True, things can be too commercial or hectic.  And true, many people are lonely or challenged in the world.  But generally speaking an enormous portion of humanity turns to love, traditions, family, giving, and the sacred.  

The collective lift can be felt – there is less turbulence, less focus on what doesn’t matter or what divides us.  There’s  a feeling of anticipation for solstice, ceremony, family traditions, presents and a New Year.  And there is an enhanced feeling of goodwill toward others. (more…)

Since my book is all about Light, and since we are all lighting up our homes and workplaces and communities with candles and colored lights, in December I’m sharing another excerpt or two from my book that seem perfect for celebrating the light.  

That gives a little gift to those who don’t wish to buy the book, feels dear and familiar to those who have purchased and enjoyed it, and lets me focus more on the holiday and a little less on my writing right now.  Perfect.

The Promise of the Light

Light teases greater love, more gratitude, more kindness, peace, beauty, wisdom into our ways of thinking and reacting to our lives. That’s what it does.  That is the promise of the Light. (more…)
