Grateful Hearts

November 26, 2018

"Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart."

Sarah Ban Breathnach
The end-of-year holidays have always held a warm place in my heart. To cozy up on the couch with loved ones and watch a television special from childhood days. To smell fresh evergreens, cookies out of the oven, or a sumptuous dinner that I will share with family and friends. To catch a sunset as I walk through the local park just before dusk. To hear a choir perform traditional carols and maybe get to join in, even. These are magical moments, and I enjoy as many of them as I can.
This season is special in other ways, too. I like to reflect on the passing year, and to consider what I intend for the year ahead. Inevitably, the sheer number of blessings that come to mind astounds me - which is one reason I enjoy the practice so much. And to me, considering the coming year isn't about time at all; rather, it's about centering myself in the moment.
Whatever we are waiting for
So...would you like to know what I am waiting for? Order and efficiency. More time to relax and just be. Continuously improving health and well-being. Resources with which to nurture my creative ideas. New opportunities to serve Spirit. A little less clutter. And I am ready to receive all of these things with an open and grateful heart!
Now it's your turn: what are your priorities for this holiday season and the coming year? Take a moment, close your eyes, and listen to your heart. Be patient...once the everyday chatter quiets down, you'll be able to hear the voice of your soul speaking to you. And I hope that some of our upcoming offerings will also speak to you.
Spirit of the Season
Join us for an enchanting evening at our Mystic Message Event, where you are sure to be inspired by gallery-style mediumship demonstrations, and several audience members will receive a personal message from the presenters. Open to your highest potential as you listen to loving, healing and guiding messages from Spirit!
I hope you'll join me for New Year, New Life, New Joy! An interactive and magical workshop where you'll learn creative manifestation techniques to help you begin living from your heart space every day. Get your year off to a great start!
And my gift to you this holiday season is to offer an entire month of special sessions at special prices. I hope that you will give yourself - or a loved one - this gift of personal inspiration and empowerment.
