Me, We and Merry Christmas

This holiday season: Give your self no gadgets, give joy, give growth, give fulfillment.

I write these wishes for the holiday as a person, one of all of us, who continues to learn about life and love every day. Sometime the past is dark and something deep inside us shows, there was a light, but on the way we did not see it.
At this holiday time I would like to encourage every one of us to make our lives extraordinary by being committed to our selves and our capacity to reach out, to touch each other and make a difference. The impact we can leave on another just by sharing our personal experience and our humanity is inestimable.
Maybe during this season we can stop and think. Who did we touch this year with human talent for empathy, love and compassion? The growing spirit within each of us longs to reach out and to give. Though our lives may be difficult and challenging it is when we give that we are happy too. We can count these times as great moments in our lives.
Perhaps this season we can take time with someone we love, to sit down and share how fortunate we are to have made it through achievements and challenges. Maybe we will remember the things that have happened in our lives that are fun, playful, humorous and joyful. In this we have the opportunity to fill up our ability, morals and strength and to become more of a person we can be.
I encourage each of us to take time and flood your self with the joy of BEING, so you can feel the vibration of happiness. As I see it, this happiness will support us as new opportunities for live arise. It will also create strength for enormous challenges that may occur unexpectedly.
An amazing part of human is the capacity to transfer our very self. In intimate relationship put your partner first. It really transfer selfishness, where we all are at times, to selfless, which means we step out of our selves and you feel other people feelings. Not only our loved ones and friends deserve our attention, but those too, who are strangers and may be suffering or bearing unspeakable pain. People suffering from destruction of community, those who are homeless come to mind. They all deserve our attention.
What give can we give, perhaps only this holiday season? A bread, used T-shirt, ten minutes of our time? What can we do for those in need? We know them across the ocean or in our own neighborhood. Teach desire as a motivator to success, not as a dream.
Christmas brings a special time when we think naturally of reaching out to others. One doesn't have to be Mother Theresa and it doesn't have to be every moment of the day. There is always more that each of us can do, just little things we can do in our own unique way.
Every heart has desire to love, be loved, be inspired, to share.
One message I leave, be true your self, be true to your self. God Bless, MERRY CHRISTMAS, JOYEUX NOEL, FELIZ NA VIDAD, FROHLICHES NEUES JAHR,
VESELE VANOCE, ...,

As a pagan, I am bemused this time of year to see Christians partaking in pagan rituals from Winter Solstice celebrations as they put up misteltoe and holly bushes.

Your sentiment whilst very kind should be extended throughout the year, not just during the "holiday season". When you see a drunk begging for money, DO NOT GIVE MONEY they will only use it to buy booze, instead why not give him a nice bottle of wine. ;-)
