Merry Christmas everyone! It is Christmas Eve, and I have a card waiting for you below. Hope you can enjoy this day without all the Christmas rush! I only have a couple of things to buy, as I chose to have a candlelit evening with harp music, friends and food, instead of shopping.

It has been my goal to give special attention to the true meaning of Christmas, and invite the spirit of Christmas into my heart. I believe it is possible to have that while shopping, baking, running errands etc; fighting the crowd, long queues, scheduled visits, it doesn’t matter what it is, as each day is a bonus.

There was a time I was in hospital, bedridden, wishing I could be out there, fighting the crowds.  I would have carried a smile and given it to others, just to be out there having the ability to walk, talk and move around. Now I can enjoy all of this, and yes, I carry that smile still, because everyday is indeed a bonus!

As promised in my previous article, here is a thought for you to reflect upon, from my book ”Gentle Whispers.”

“Some travelers may stop at the first barricade they come to and spend many years figuring out how to get through.  Others may look upon the barricade as a marker on a map to help them continue the parallel journey.”

This thought goes right along with the poem that is spotlighted on the main site.  Be sure to visit that page. Other poems will be spotlighted as soon as I get others to join the journey with me.  It will be a rewarding one for all of us.

When one thinks of a rewarding journey, one thinks of progress.  Look at the site and see how we are progressing. There are spotlights on: video, photo, and poetry. The main site’s layout is done now.  Enjoy the other video featured on it and read its accompanying article, “The Everest Peace Project.”  Be sure to share your opinions. 

I wouldn’t mind hiking to base camp of Mount Everest. Hiking to the top of Mount Everest is way out of reach for me and my personal desires; however, sharing this inspiring story has captivated my heart. How has it affected yours?

The next article may not take us to Mount Everest but will take us on a parallel journey.  Stay tuned!
