THE ENDING OF 2016

As 2016 is closing, for those of us who prayed for changes (within and without) and have not seen the manifestation of those changes, please take heart and don’t despair.  The changes you have asked for although they have not materialized as you desired, are gradually taking place within you as part of the Divine Plan.  The Creator has heard your supplication and has granted your request and they are manifesting in incremental stages.  Our frail human bodies cannot withstand the overload if all we desired were to be accomplished in the time we call now – so baby steps are necessary.

We have seen unexpected changes this year. Some changes brought out the best in us, and some the worst. Please remember that there is good and bad in all of us. We take the bitter with the sweet and that is life and growth. If everything was all good how would we grow?  The changes that we asked for are two-fold. Sometimes when we ask fervently from our minds, our heart is asking for something different. Therefore, the prayers that come from the heart and not the lips are answered. When we have the discerning mind to know the difference, then we can recalibrate our asking.

As we come to the end of 2016, which is a number 9 year in numerology and represents the end of a cycle, most of us cannot wait for it to be over. We are ready to be rid of all the negative that 2016 appeared to have manifested. However, in retrospect, there is much to celebrate: Some of us have graduated from school, or started our own business. Some of us made new friends, some of us have grown closer to family and some of us have opened ourselves to be loved and to love. There are myriads of magical things that took place, some of them, albeit not in big splashes, but none-the-less, miracles. Every day is a miracle. Let us be grateful for them and enjoy the blessings. For those who experienced transition of our loved ones, my deepest sympathy to you. Know that they are still with you, in spirit.

So my wishes for all my fellow beings on planet earth as the dawning of 2017 approaches is to let us celebrate the new beginning: be open and receptive to miracles; enjoy life to the fullest; make the changes within you that you want to see in the world.

To help you on your journey, I’d like to suggest a great school called Southwest Institute of Healing Arts, to give yourself a chance to strut your stuff. You will be amazed at what shines forth from within. The staff and faculty are wonderful people. I got my awakening there and still continue to expose myself to further awakenings.

With Unconditional Love, Healing, and Compassion, I wish you all a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year.
