Does that sound as wild to you as it does to me? 2014! To me, it sounds so supercalifragilisticexpialidocious futuristic in some way! But I don't know if that is a 40's and up thing?!
It is somewhat awe-ing that this is a new time and first time to say ~~ HELLO~~ to you this year!
And now that I have your attention for a moment, what do I want to say to you this early January 2014?
I actually have no idea.
Although
it seems like such a great opportunity to say something that would
really move your heart because there is nothing greater than this.. I
will share with you that all I could tell you this very moment is that I
am loving eating ice cream...so much that I am typing this newsletter
with one hand, and eating yummy pistachio Ben and Jerry's with my other hand. Although slower in going, it is a very satisfying experience!
And
maybe I need to do it this way because yesterday I wrote our January
newsletter in the Pages Apple program and I really felt the flow as I
wrote. It was delicious. I told Tony when it was done, "I really like
this one!" And he smiled, "What a good feeling that is!" And now I
share with you that it disappeared right out of the program and is not
there today! For real! Even high tech Tony can't find it. And he then
said, "Oh D, what a bad feeling this is!"
How fast it all can change.
I can't imagine going to sleep without writing it again. But this time, the wisdom from last night seems to be gone...
...except for the amazing experience of ice cream.
So, in this strange mood, I want to greet us all in Soul Star Connection and to exclaim, "We really are all in this together!"
2014! What do you sense for yourself this year?
How
do you apply this little numerology tidbit into your visions for 2014?
By adding up the numbers, you find that 2014 is a 7. Seven is a
seriously spiritual number in the numerology world. It denotes focus,
introspection, studious, intuitive, knowledgeable, contemplative
serious, persevering, refined, gracious and much inner wisdom. Seeker
of Truth, always trying to understand the deepest hidden truths.
Knowing that nothing is exactly as it seems, the 7 looks much deeper
than appearances. Age-old questions of what life is all about, what we
are here for, who are we and so forth is essential to the 7.
So, I ask, how do you implement the power of 7 into the new year?
(BTW, I think ice cream has great power to bring one into truth of experience!)
Moving
on... new subject -- Marni, one of our wonderful Soul Star sisters
offered this quote to her loved ones and I wanted to share it with you.
LIFE IS AN OPPORTUNITY, BENEFIT FROM IT. LIFE IS BEAUTY, ADMIRE IT. LIFE IS A DREAM, REALIZE IT. LIFE IS A CHALLENGE, MEET IT. LIFE IS A DUTY, COMPLETE IT. LIFE IS A GAME, PLAY IT. LIFE IS A PROMISE, FULFILL IT. LIFE IS SORROW, OVERCOME IT. LIFE IS A SONG, SING IT. LIFE IS A STRUGGLE, ACCEPT IT. LIFE IS A TRAGEDY, CONFRONT IT. LIFE IS AN ADVENTURE, DARE IT. LIFE IS LUCK, MAKE IT. LIFE IS TOO PRECIOUS, DO NOT DESTROY IT. LIFE IS LIFE, FIGHT FOR IT. ~ Mother Teresa
I
am not sure if Mother Teresa actually wrote this. I have another great
quote that is said to have been her words. It didn't sound like how
she wrote, and ultimately with enough investigation, I found out that
she didn't write it. But it was a great saying, nonetheless. It could
be the same for this quote.
I want to invite you to make it
yours. A great way to do this is to write each sentence with a hyphen
and see what comes out of you as a follow up. Don't plan on anything. Just see what comes out.
Here is a demonstration of my exploration of me with this quote:
LIFE IS....
AN OPPORTUNITY, BENEFIT FROM IT ~ Serve, show up, receive birthright, birth gift, each now.
BEAUTY, ADMIRE IT ~ Ahhh, we are not alone. So much beautiful company!
A DREAM, REALIZE IT ~ Wake Up! This really IS a dream!
A DUTY, COMPLETE IT ~ Dharma, the path of right action. Only the soul knows.
A GAME, PLAY IT ~ For enjoyment's sake! Radical!
A PROMISE, FULFILL IT ~ And empty it...into no-thing and no-one!
SORROW, OVERCOME IT ~ By being with it, allowing it! Know that "overcoming" is not trying to make the sorrow go away but rather ~ to live with the sadness and let it be integrated into part of a sense of wholeness and fullness.
A SONG, SING IT ~ Or dance or write or whatever floats your boat. Just do it passionately, holy and fiery!
A STRUGGLE, ACCEPT IT ~ Surrender, surrender, surrender!
A TRAGEDY, CONFRONT IT ~ Heartache,
heartbreak ~ part of being aware and alive, with impermanence as the
undercurrent. How we humans, in all our greediness and
ignorance, are not waking up in time to save ourselves and all other
species and how we are ruining it for all!
AN ADVENTURE, DARE IT ~ Cosmic seat belt on, here we grow!
LUCKY, MAKE IT ~ Maybe,
or maybe it's not luck at all. Maybe its not us who make it or don't
make it but rather, the Mystery Unfolding. Or, maybe it's all true.
TOO PRECIOUS, DON'T DESTROY IT ~ If only we could wake up to our oneness and reverence for all of life and be attuned to how tender and vulnerable the heart is and how respect and kindness in all relations is intensely needed.
IS LIFE, FIGHT FOR IT ~ Bow
to it, lay at its feet, soar in it, cradle it, stand up for it, play
with it, flirt with it, dance with it, make love with it, give it a standing ovation and yes, fight for it knowing that... "it" is you and you... are "it".
What would it be like to really enjoy this coming year?
To live in the poetry of ice cream?!?
