In the middle of the hustle and bustle of the Holidays, I invite you to join me for a few minutes of silence.  Let's take the time to receive the amazing gift of the Precious Present. 
 
The "Present" is literally this moment, right here and now.  It is "Precious" because it is priceless, irreplaceable and incredibly valuable.  No amount of money could buy you another one, once it has passed.
 
This Precious Present asks us to be still for a while.  To breathe fully, sit quietly and drink in the miracle of our connection to our deepest selves, each other and all of Life.   Feeling the boundless goodness of the One flowing to you, through you, from you, as you...  Now....    And now...   And now...
 
Feel the power of just sitting here comfortably, without doing a single thing other than opening to this moment.  Please don't worry if you don't "get it" right away.  There's no rush, no right way or wrong way to do this.  And if you find yourself getting caught up in a flurry of feelings, fantasies, memories and plans, that's okay, too.  Just be gentle with yourself.  Remember that you have a very Precious Present waiting for you, right here, right now.  And somehow, you both give and receive it through your willingness to pay attention.  Ahh...
 
It is the Gift that keeps on giving.  To you - and to everyone whose life you touch - including mine!  Thank you so much for sharing it with me and the rest of the Celebration Circle.  Over the past years...  for these few moments... and hopefully, for a long time to come. 
 
With warm wishes for a healthy, happy Holiday Season,
