• May we welcome 2014 as a year of heart opening that expands our capacity to give and receive love and compassion.

• May we all fill our hearts with greater understanding of everyone's life path and embrace the perfection of each journey.

• May we all sparkle a little brighter with our stardust to awaken and share our gifts.

• May we look upon each moment with hope and wonder and never lose faith in ourselves and each other.

• May we recognize this moment on Earth is powerful and precious with all the nuances of change taking place.

At the heart-of-our-heart resides the greatest gift, the gift of love. It really defies words yet expresses nicely in poetry, music, hugs, smiles, kindness and so much more.  We are the expression of this gift.   It is meant to be shared.   It is meant to nurture.  It is meant to be experienced in the giving and receiving.   It is meant to remind us that we are valued and valuable.  You are this gift on Earth. 

As you personally embrace the gift that you are, inspired new ideas will be available to be creatively expressed.   Recognizing oneself as a gift allows us to serve each other and this planet with our special talents and ways of caring.   Your heart is the center of the gift that you are and love is the center of your heart.  Simply feel free to share your loving heart.

When life is difficult and challenging, someone will enter your circle to shine their light in your direction to remind you that you are not alone and their gift of loving support can lift your heart. For anyone feeling the challenge of confusion, disappointment, hurt, despair, the loss of a loved one or other sensitive processes, look for the compassion and love in others and open your heart to their gift.

The year 2014 emphasizes spiritual growth, philosophical exploration, intuitive expansion, inner reflection, naturally meditative moments and growth in self love.  Quality alone time will call to us and inspiration will come from that inner space.   Learning through books, seminars and classes will increase as we reach for greater knowledge, wisdom and truth.   An increase in emotional sensitivity can be expected so clearing and grounding techniques are important to utilize.  The year 2014 is a seven vibration in numerology which contributes these qualities.

The year 2014 brings the dream and the dreamer into greater focus.  Pay attention to dream quality for all the insights that come through them.   It is also a time to evaluate and define an inner calling to "follow your dream" and find the freedom to express it.   Sometimes this requires the courage to release the expectations of others and just be you.

I always advocate spending time in nature since this is our connection to Earth energy in the form of trees, grasses, flowers, bugs and butterflies, winged ones, crawly ones, swimming ones, four legged and the elemental kingdom.   Nature feeds and nurtures us and brings us balance.   May our respect and honor of her increase as we deepen our love for Mother Earth.

Nature provides our abundant foods and natural cures to nourish and heal our bodies.   This year is a perfect time to expand our awareness of healthy nutrients through our food choices that supports the vitality of our bodies.   As we gain in our knowledge of life sustaining foods, lets share with each other for the betterment of all.

As 2014 unfolds, many will find themselves called to be of service for the greater good.   This can take many shapes and all carry a quality of giving.  As growth in our self love expands to include a greater measure of love for each other and this planet, we will be honoring our heart and the gift that we are here to be.
