CHOOSE – WHO DO YOU WISH TO BE?

Beloved,

Well, Thanksgiving if over, the celebration anyway, and I hope we
still maintain the energy of gratitude even if it is over. It amazes
me how our society works so hard to eliminate our feelings of gratitude
by emphasizing how much more we need to accumulate or feel less than.
Instead of Black Thursday now and Black Friday why can’t we just call
it Red Friday because we will all be in the red when the feeding
frenzy is over. BUT in this country, we do have a choice, Thank God.

I personally find better sales before and after this episode and I
don’t need to deal with the crowds and the long waiting lines to
spend my money. Also I don’t get caught up in the frenetic energy
and spend more than I wanted on things I really don’t need. I get
to stay in the Thanksgiving energy being ever so grateful for what
I do have, especially my friends and family.

So much for my personal philosophy. My hope is that I have not
offended anyone as it takes ALL of us to make this world go round.
The best part is that we all have free choice given to us by our
Mother/Father God. We all have the freedom to VOTE with our
pocketbooks. Which reminds me of two special dates that are
coming up BEFORE the Christmas Holiday.

We are in for such an awakening and fabulous opportunity to create
our own WORLD. Starting now if you want but at least start by
12-12-12 envisioning what you would like YOUR world to look like.
Not your neighbors, friends or family’s world but your very own.
Mentally envision what you would like your world to look like.
These are seeds that you will have an opportunity to plant on
12-21-21, The Winter Solstice. Envision your world right down to
the minute details and be sure to include the planet in your vision.

After all, this is your world. Who will be in your world? What will
be in your world? What colors do you see? What will you be doing?
Pick your seeds very carefully (I intend to write a list because a
list helps me) and on 12-21-12 plant them. I intend to plant my
paper list in the dirt as well as envision planting my seeds in the
cosmos.

WE ARE ALL creating a new world to live in and each of our
worlds will be side by side, like big bubbles that gently bump into
each other with no harm to either of us. We can live in our own
bubble while allowing others to live in theirs and be in peace.
Aren’t we doing that now? Except we have judgment about other
people’s values, customs, race, religions, etc. In the new world
on this planet, we will share our similarities and respect each
others differences.

In three months, on the Spring Equinox, what will you see growing
alongside the grass and the flowers? What ever seeds you have
planted on the 12-21-12. What will appear if you have not planted
your seeds? Nothing!!!!

REMEMBER: When you plant seeds in the dirt, you “SEE” no activity
but do not give up hope. Come Spring Solstice, you will begin
to see what is coming up.

Please join with me in planting the most beautiful gardens, the
most beautiful planet of Love. We can do it. You can do it.
This is such an opportune time in the history of civilization.
This moment is exactly what we have attempted to do through how
many lifetimes? Well, this time we will do it and I am hoping
you will join the rest of us in creating a whole different existence
on this planet. Don’t be left behind, plant your seeds.

These humans are such examples of diversity coming together for a
common cause. this article spoke loudly to me.

We think we need computers, TV, cell phones, etc. to get ahead or
to be the best of who we could be. We forget to take time for
us to be WHO WE ARE with no interference from the outer world.

Subject: AWESOME Australian Talent from “nowhere”

This is a 16 year old sheep farmer’s son from the outback,
improvising on the piano during auditions for Australia’s Got Talent.
It’s very different, but sensational.

An amazing young man from Australia!!

This kid lives on a farm in Australia – in the middle of “nowhere”
where there are no bars, pubs, or TV and he thought he’d teach
himself to play the piano!!!

THANKSGIVING (THANKING GOD FOR GIVING YOU TO ME)

Beloved,

I am so grateful for you being in my life. Without you I would
have no reason to count my blessings so that I may share them with
you. I would have no reason to research stories or tips or jokes or
any of the encouragement I send you. I would have no reason to go
deep inside of myself to bring forth inspiration that perhaps may
make your time on this planet a lot easier and more filled with
Love for yourself and your comrades on this journey.

I did not write this prayer but it spoke to me and I wanted to
share it with you. I pray that your heart is full as well as your
tummy…….

MOST OF ALL

Thanksgiving Day brings to mind

the blessings of my life

that usually go unnoticed;

a home that surrounds me

with comfort and protection;

delicious food, for pleasure

in both eating and sharing;

clothes to snuggle up in,

books and good entertainment

to expand my mind;

and freedom to worship my God.

Most of all I am thankful

for my family and friends,

those treasured people

who make my life extra special.

YOU are a part of that cherished
group.

On Thanksgiving (and every day)

I appreciate you.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Love and Light,

Mary Grace

IS YOUR REALITY “‘REAL”?

Beloved,

Where does the time go? It feels like I have just turned my head
and now it is so close to winter. Thanksgiving is next week which
always brings to mind what I am grateful for.

One of the things is my kayak and my ability to launch it whenever
I wish. I do go by how windy it is and how rough is the water but
it changes hourly and sometimes in a minute, so I am grateful for
the times that I can wait it out. I went out last Monday on Veterans’
Day and when I started out it was calm but halfway around the lake,
the wind picked up and soon I was being rocked by the waves. Of
course it makes it much more difficult to row and it took me much
longer to get back to my beach but I looked at it as the lake was
giving me one more time to feel like I was being rocked in a cradle.

My son Steve came over yesterday to help me do the last minute
preparations for winter that I can’t do myself and we put my
kayak to rest for the winter. This is a bittersweet time for me
as I much prefer the warmer and snowless seasons.

Well, this morning as I looked out at the lake as I do every morning
when I raise my blinds, the water was like glass. Of course, it
was 31 degrees and the water is calmer at the colder temperatures.
I so appreciate the mirror effect when I can see all the mountains,
trees and houses reflected in the water. It gives me such an expanded
view and reminds me that we are all mirrors for each other. So if
I see someone doing something I don’t like, I am reminded that the
perceived flaw is in me also because I wouldn’t notice anything if
I had no opinions about it. Life is funny that way. When you have
no buttons to be pushed, life is peaceful and serene because you are
also.

I joked with the lake that it was just teasing me because it knew
that I couldn’t go out in it. As I looked out later I saw strips of
water that were rippling. Not over the whole lake so the strips
were stopping the reflections in parts. What a funny feeling to
see the wind playing with the water in spots so that most of the lake
was still and yet the strips made the reflection so different from
the “real thing”. This scenario made me realize just how much the
wind can alter our opinions of what we are seeing.

Life is like that. The “Winds of Change” alter our perspectives
of what is occurring in our lives and what seems “real” and isn’t.
Pay attention to how the “winds’ are blowing. Is it “real” or is it
just an altered reflection of what is real? With some parts of the
truth missing, just what perspective are you seeing? Know that all
of life changes in every moment depending on whom you are with or
what “truth” or “reality” you are observing.

Happy Thanksgiving. I have so much to be grateful for and the very
fact that I am alive and kicking is #1. I am grateful for you for
without you, I would have no reason to write a newsletter and put
to paper my thoughts or feel that perhaps I am spreading good cheer
and hopefully inspiration. We do need each other and awareness of
this blessing jumps out at me every time I eat. How many people
contributed to my food from its inception(seed), to the planting,
to the reaping, to the packaging, to the transportation, to the store
who stores it for me to buy, to the people in the store that are there
to serve me. I cannot do it alone!

This link shows what we can do together even when we are not aware
that we are not alone.
