Beloved,

This is certainly a busy time of the year. How are you doing with your time? It is a part of the Christmas season to be busy thinking about all those you love and how to please them. Please do not forget that YOU are extremely important to all you love so save some time for yourself even if it is only a few minutes of time to close your eyes and just focus on breathing. Breathing is essential and we breathe quite differently when we are rushed or harried. Just pay attention to the air going in and out of your nostrils and mouth. It does not take long for you to begin to feel more centered and energized. This is a season of testing your belief in yourself and who you really are. Michael Buble and Elmo say it best.

Holiday Survival tips for empaths. Every mom is an empath yet you don’t need to be a mom to be an empath. We actually all are empathic even if we are not aware of it. These tips can help you survive not only family at Christmas but at any other time of the year.

This week, the whole week including Saturday and Sunday has me on the road each and every day. I even had two Christmas parties on the same day. I am grateful that although on the same day they at least were scheduled for different meals – one was for lunch and the other for dinner. I thoroughly enjoyed them both and came back home at 9:30 PM with such a light heart and a satiated body and soul. While I was out gallivanting, I even managed to find a glass pot for my coffee pot which if you have ever tried, is an amazing feat. Replacements never seem to fit just right and although you can make coffee, they don’t sit on the heating element the same way so your coffee doesn’t stay hot.

I seem to be in a pattern of breaking glass, maybe I am going to go through the glass ceiling. My favorite glass broke, my glass coffee pot cracked, I can’t replace my wall mounted cordless screwdriver and flashlight, they don’t make them anymore. A lady’s best friend is her electric screwdriver; it is amazing what it can do that I can’t do manually. I have had quite a few lessons in being in a throwaway society this week. I long for the time when we had fewer selections yet spare parts were still available which made it simple to keep your favorite things and you did not need to learn how to use things all over again. Hey, am I showing my age? I like to think that I am showing my wisdom.

My heart breaks for all the police who are protectors and guardians of people and also animals. They are being punished for a few bad apples. Remember, it takes only one rotten apple to spoil your opinion of the whole basket. Please do not let the over publicized negativity affect your opinion of our Police. I am very glad to see the peaceful protests because that brings awareness to the whole country of the abuses that some officers inflict. These are examples of everyday devotion of most of our police officers. Smile at an officer the next time you see one, it will help more than you know.

This special gift was sent to me by a special soul sister, Alisha of http://www.shiftwideopen.com/ It is a gift which, once I started listening, I could not shut it off (that is why this newsletter is arriving later than usual). I always make sure that I experience or at least have the same knowledge that I send to you. Jo Dunning’s Five Energy Processes is a gift for you and a gift that you can give to anyone else. I was going to wait until Christmas to send this to you but after experiencing it for myself, I just knew that you would want to share it with all those you love. These are tools that take only a few minutes and Jo Dunning is connecting you to Source energy in a way that focuses on what you need. You choose what to focus on and you have her assistance in connecting you to your Source. Tis the season for gifting, please accept this gift from me and share it with others. Let’s help it go viral.
