Gifts for the New Year

{ContactFirstName}

As we bring 2008 to a close tomorrow, I encourage you to embrace the joys of the year, recognize the pain as part of life's growth process, release the wounds to the universe for healing, hang onto all the good, and open your arms wide to the delightful adventures the New Year holds for you.

I received a wonderful message from a dear cousin and would like to share them.  May the words of "The Greatest Gifts" be alive in you now and throughout the New Year.

May we break boundaries, tear down walls, and build on the foundation of goodness inside each of us. 

May we look past differences, gain understanding, and embrace acceptance. 

May we reach out to each other, rather than resist. 

May we be better stewards of the earth, protecting, nurturing and replenishing the beauties of nature. 

May we practice gratitude for all we have, rather than complain about our needs.

May we seek cures for the sick, help for the hungry, and love for the lonely.

May we share our talents, give our time, and teach our children.

May we hold hope for the future very tenderly in our hearts and do all we can to build for bright tomorrows.

And may we LOVE with our whole hearts, for that's the only way to love.

Wishing you the gifts of peace, hope and love for the New Year!

Till we meet again in 2009.... There is time for everything... step back and remember to Breathe!
