Happy New Year

I have hesitated to write as I have felt shamed and feared offending.  
But as the new year begins, once again I will remember that I need to hope and believe in the impossible. I need to see in and through the darkness and I need to act boldly and expect the unexpected.     We all have wonderful gifts that need to be shared with each other.  We must continue to seek the light over and over again even in the face of devastation and danger and in spite of our overwhelming fears.   

May this New Year be a time of peace and love and joy.  May we understand and accept how wonderful and powerful we really are for we possess the greatest gift of all and with this Gift all things are possible.
