Because, from childhood on, I have held this holy season dear, this week I've decided to jot my own Story from the Heart. Because it's a season of gift-giving, I'm offering my soul-based gratitude to you for the many gifts you send in. "What gifts?" you ask.
Your many e-mails and handwritten notes telling me you love the Newsletter are treasures to me. I hold them dear. Late last year when it looked as though the Newsletter had come to an end, I received countless e-mails from people I didn't even know, volunteering to keep it alive! The person who graciously accepted the 'job,' is someone I've known for some time, has years of experience doing things like this, and, to put it in terms you'll fully understand: We laugh in the same places! So, without even a break, the Newsletter continued. When I sent out the good news, again I received many Congratulatory messages! "Hooray!" was a common one! You've got to know how your responses touched me. Thank you.
The Stories that continue to arrive often bring joy-filled tears to my eyes. What gracious souls you are! All of you have vastly differing backgrounds and experiences, and that you are willing to share them touches me deeply. It also touches many of our readers. I've never met most of you and probably never will. For taking time to let me---and readers around the world---know how this technology has changed your life, I offer you the soul-based gift of my ongoing Thanks.
Some of you have joined our Alphabetical Prayer Circle. For those of you who haven't, I'd like to share the prayer we offer each day; it takes about 10 seconds. I leave you with the invitation to say it with us; I've modified it a bit for you---in brackets:
Fill each of us with Your Healing Light:
those of us in this Prayer Circle
[or, "those who offer this prayer"]
all those we love,
and all those we have difficulty loving.
Thank You.
Keep in mind, if you will, that PRAYER, because it is not an "asking" but rather a longing of the heart, is one of the most powerful energy attractors in the universe. By combining prayer with soul-based writing patterns, you find yourself able to... (your unique, personal experience will have you finish this sentence).
With love, arms-full of blessings, and holding thoughts of your prosperity on all levels in 2012, I close with deep bows of gratitude,
