Beloved,

 Well, we finally got snow, all 2 feet of it here in Wales. As far as snowstorms go, this one was big BUT we had no electric or TV outages. The kids got a snow day from school and finally have snow to play in.  I am literally and physically snowed in.  Our street is plowed but my driveway has not been plowed yet although I know the guys won’t forget me, they must be having a hard time at their commercial contracts to keep the snow off the parking lots especially with the wind we are having.  I can open my storm door a little but being on the lake when it is windy, it creates a whirlwind right around my house and deposits snow on my stoop even when it is not snowing. You should see the beautiful patterns that the wind has created.  There are parts of my yard near the garage where there is no snow and yet there are high drifts right next to those bare spots.  I still claim that Mother Nature is the best artist in the world. No one can compare to her.

 “Finding Calm among the Storm” by Dana Mrkich sounds like a perfect article to follow the storm we just experienced.  In fact, it is a perfect antidote to ANY storm you are in the middle of.

 “You have a Choice” by Ann Albers speaks right to me at this moment.  I am still snowbound but I can choose to fret or relax.  I have heat, food and all of my utilities, why do I feel isolated or abandoned?  I am not either of those things but the very fact that I cannot get in my car and go where I want to go has those feelings coming up. Is it habit or is a past memory?  I CAN CHOOSE to feel my mind’s wanderings or I can CHOOSE to look at reality and SEE that none of those fears are true. In reality, I am sitting in my warm house bathing in the sun as I write to you. 

 Tomorrow is a Lunar Eclipse.  A clip of what opportunities abound during this event by Sarah Varcas.

 What an amazing exercise this would be for all of humanity to participate in.  This video would be great going viral on the media. 

 Let us all “Raise the Bar on LOVE” by Alan Cohen.  This week is the perfect time to begin. I wish you a HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

 In honor of Love and Valentine’s Day this week, I offer these stories of the advancement of mankind, one situation at a time. Imagine what humanity could create if more of us came together in solidarity.  It is happening all over this planet right now. This speaks of the love that is in all of us even when we are not consciously aware that it is the reason behind all of the good in this world. Enjoy all the love that you do not usually hear or see on the media.   It is from Col Chris Hadfield.
