Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!


I AM THE NEW YEAR. - I am unused, un-
spotted, without blemish, I stretch before you 365 days long. I will present each day in its turn; a new leaf In the book of life for you to place upon it your imprint.
.
I AM THE NEW YEAR. - Each hour of every day, I will give you 60 minutes that h
ave never known the use of man...white and pure I present them; It remains for you to fill them with 60 jeweled-seconds of love, hope, endeavor, patience, and trust.
.
I AM THE NEW YEAR. - I am coming...but once past, I can never be recalled. Make me your best!
~~(Author, unknown, but very appreciated!)

This is one of my favorite declarations/poems/inspirations (this is one of a few versions). May we all receive from this what what speaks to us the most...and may these whispers be our companion as we begin a new page of a new chapter in the book of our lives...one day, one moment, one breath at a time. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!

(P.S. As usual, the Mystical Mandala Medicine continues to inform me of my inner-life. I had no idea this mandala would evovle into a Christmas-ornament/holiday spirt energy. Hmm...I've got more of the Christmas spirit that I realized. -- This mandala. I created this in early December. -- (Submitted to Inspire Me Thursday "Holiday" prompt.)

Hi Cheryl! I have been so remiss in getting back to you - long before we left on vacation. The puppy "invasion" has turned our house a bit upside down - but in a good way! You have a beautiful blog and part of my Christmas present to myself is to spend time and read it!! You have so much to say and you say it so well. I wish I had your gift for words!! Have a marvelous Christmas and FANTASTIC New Year! And thank you so much for your kind words and support! And I gave a big hug (and doggie biscuits) to the amigos for you!! They told me to tell you that you are pretty cool!! XOX D
