Susan Tate Greetings!

May this month provide you with an elegant ending to 2009 and may your heart be filled with the blessings of this holy season. Whatever you celebrate, may it provide blessed nourishment for your mind, body and spirit.

You'll note in the first line of the feature article that I proudly get to say I'm turning 60 this month! Please enjoy Thoughts on Turning 60 and let me know how it affects your views on aging.

The second half of December gives me the opportunity to travel to do the work I love and to see my family back East. I am presenting Conscious Health, Conscious Wealth seminars along the way, one in Toronto and one in Washington, D.C. I'm also sharing this abundance/financial seminar in Seattle earlier in the month, as noted below.

If you are in the Charlottesville area on December 29, please come to the special Nia class I will be teaching at Studio 206. As noted in the information below, the focus will be Setting the Intention for the New Year.
Speaking of Nia, you'll also find my December Nia Schedule for The Dance Space in this issue.

I'm reading my second book by Bruce Lipton, Ph.D. and its title is Spontaneous Evolution--Our Positive Future (And A Way To Get There From Here). There's a blurb from the back cover below so you can see if this is something you may want to explore.

May you enjoy the preparations for the season by adding joy to each mindful choice.

With blessings and joy,

Susan Tate, M.A., Editor
Director, Washington Wellness Associates

Thoughts on turning 60

birthday candlesAge is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
~ Mark Twain

I get to turn 60 on December 10 and I've been looking forward to it all year! This birthday has stimulated more contemplative anticipation than any other birthday I can remember.

I've spent the last several weeks pouring over old journals. It feels good to report that I have gained much from my life experiences, though at times I appeared to be a slow learner! My journal entries indicate I was able to identify both the depths of the pain and the heights of the love that were present through a series of intense life events (deaths, divorce, illness) from about 1995 through 2005. It doesn't seem essential to recount the details of that poignant passage in my life here. (Wait for the autobiography I plan to write when I'm 90!)

What I'd like to share is, I believe I faced that time of pain and grief by putting it right in front of me and by looking straight into its dark eyes. I felt it, I acknowledged it and then released it; it was sometimes a dark, scary and depressed time. I have done my forgiveness work (of myself and others), honored the lives of family members who died, and most importantly, kept the intensity of love that was laced through it all. But more about love in a bit . . .

Spontaneous Evolution--Our Positive Future (And A Way To Get There From Here)
A great read to prepare for 2010

Spontaneous Evolution book coverThis book by Bruce Lipton and Steve Bhaerman has captured the essence of my optimistic belief in a positive future. Together they offer a hopeful plan for a heart-full world.

From the back cover:
"Spontaneous Evolution introduces the notion that a miraculous healing awaits this planet once we accept our new responsibility to collectively tend the Garden rather than fight over the turf. When a critical mass of people truly own this belief in their hearts and minds and actually begin living from this truth, our world will emerge from the darkness in what will amount to a spontaneous evolution."
