Haven't we all come a long way in our respective lives since a year ago at this time? Some of us have traveled so far and accomplished so much! Some of us have endured trials the likes of which have been terribly difficult to say the least. Some of dear friends and loved ones have passed beyond the veil of death and returned home, while others have found their paths of navigating some illness this year certainly difficult, but they came out of the other side of their physical, emotional and spiritual trials learning more about themselves for their courses, and yes, others unfortunately are still walking this course.
To all, and in and from each and every tradition, this author tips his hat in your direction and says that you are an inspiration in so many ways! Surely, you have been an inspiration in so many ways, and you will continue to be so just by living your lives!
Inspiration is a quality that is the core of this year's holiday message to everyone for it is inspiration that in some ways we all seek along our paths, to better the times when we feel so alone, and it gives us all the fortitude that we require to keep on keeping on!
Recently this author wrote a piece entitled "Pay Attention to Yourself! You Are Your Own Inspiration!" This Blog was intended to give some giddy up to everyone's living motivation, for the greatest of truths to any sense of some motivation is that there are no more intimate sources for it than your own inner guts!
This holiday season of the year 2010 is the pinnacle point of a year that domestically and internationally has not been an easy one for anyone! The effects of a lot of the matters of the physical world have worked more than ever to carve potholes in front of people. The Economic outlook for most nations have continued to be a nightmare and this will unfortunately continue as the year 2011 dawns and begins to rev up its momentum. People may do well in nesting themselves with what they do have, for the first half 2011 will not provide much in the realm of any economic alleviation of the challenges that have presented in the past year. Do not think that this particular outlook is a bad thing entirely, for as in any time of a reorganization of the geography of the landscape of being, the shards of the aftermath of the mess that is the worldwide economy will sometime midway into 2011 begin to finally rise back up that detailed scale that has so far only been diving and many will begin to see the light at the end of their own fiscal tunnels. Just store up your fortitude for the first half of the year, it will begin to get better!
The creative engine of the universe that in 2010 has been so sharp edged in just about every month will be even more so in 2011! Yes, this is in line with the re-creative trends that have been building and shifting all throughout 2010, and as the new year dawns and presents new opportunities for many who risk to move outside of their comfortable boxes of being, there will be others who for a lacking of the will to rush in where angels fear to tread who will simply choose to hunker down in the hopes that this terrible storm will finally pass.
To both types in this entire manner of re-creation, this spiritualist can assure you that both will benefit your paths. If you're the risky type it will simply benefit you sooner that's all. There is nothing wrong with storing up all of the soup of your being for the long and unsure season ahead! After what has just passed behind us all, who can blame anyone for their reticence!
Everyone may wish to think of two words more than any others as you make your way through your holiday season and as you set your feet to the path of lauding a new year in 2011. These two words are:
"Appreciate" and "Love"
Appreciate those you have around you in your life and do not fear expressing how beneficial you feel your experience of life has been by having them with you along the way!
Appreciate the little things a bit more than you have in the past, for the truth is that while the gears and the lubrication and all of the inner-workings of the engine of being are what make you go, what really does dress up the final touches of your being are the little things that make it all worthwhile!
Don't be afraid to wax yourself eloquent every now and then for heavens sake! It's a habit that will rub off onto those around you and before you know it, you will be affecting others in the same way. It makes for happy company!
Appreciate the lessons of life that you have learned thus far. Don't fear anyone or anything from your past. Don't fear the present pathways that will lead to your indelibly wondrous future! Do however remember those same potholes as you make your way now on to your present future! Yes, that was a play on words! The grammar cops out there should love that one!
Least but not least and in fact most importantly above all else in your holiday season and into your new year:
LOVE YOURSELF WITH AS MUCH PASSION AS YOU CAN!!!
That's right! Love yourself with the passion of a newly bloomed rose in spring and love yourself with the same creative joy that your parents undoubtedly had the first time they laid their eyes upon you!
You really are that beautiful a creature in the eyes of the universe!
We all tend to loose that vision of luster after we've become dented along the path of life.
WAX YOURSELF UP AGAIN!!!
This is what the year 2011 is all about and the tone of how, why, and what definition you place onto your own waxing eloquent of your being depends on the tone you set through your own brand of this holiday season.
A Blessed Yule Season to my lovely fellow Pagan friends and my vast pagan, Christo-Pagan, and Neo-Pagan family out there!
A Blessed Christmas to all of the Christian community!
Happy Hanukkah to all of the Jewish community!
Happy Kwanza to those celebrating!
A wonderful and a peaceful holiday season to all from each and every spiritual, religious, and non-spiritually based tradition who recognize a form of some belief and atheistic belief throughout this season!
Remember that it is not in our differences through which we are best defined, but through our mutual and individual respect and our own understandings of both ourselves and others remains how we best gain the greatest of our perspectives that endlessly serve us well!
Blessings To You All!
