I can’t believe how kind people can be and how much love and support you keep continuing to give me, especially during this holiday time. So, a big thank you to everyone and imagine me giving a hug to all of you. Good news! My parents have invited me over for Christmas so I’m not going to be alone and I actually look forward to spending some time with them. And of course on Yule I’ll have a small solo ritual to greet the new baby sun.
I can’t even wallow in grief about Newtown because I feel so overwhelmed with it all like most of us are. What I can do is offer a prayer and send out loving and healing energy to everyone affected. I believe one doesn’t have to be “religious” to make a prayer but rather spiritual. I saw this image on one of my favorite blogs, “Our Country Cove Life” and just thought how powerful it is to send out prayers. If you’d like to share this image on your blog, please feel free to do so. Blessings to everyone.

So glad you are going to visit your folks for Christmas. And it’s great that you are looking forward to the visit. Hope all goes well.
All of this ugliness in the world right now is too big and wide to take in. I shut off the TV shortly after I heart the first report. In order for me to maintain balance, I need to not let the media challenge my balance with all of their speculation and sensationalizing and using the incident as a soapbox for one thing or another. I just pray…..as you said. It is the most and least we can do as a family of humans.
Hope your holidays are happy and bright. Oma Linda
So glad you are visiting your parents!!! Wish you the best this season and always.
