Year end review; setting new year intentions; welcoming disruption. I'm an adventurer in consciousness; purposely feeling good; my four rainbow day!

Hello and welcome to the December 2007 edition of Horizons Magazine. This year seems to have flown by. So many things changed in 2007 that I'm not even living the same life I was living a year ago.

The end of the year is always a powerful time for me to review what has taken place in my life and in my consciousness the past 12 months. Also to see how far along I've gotten in my personal projects, which include personal, spiritual and business goals.

I always write my New Year intentions down, but I don't think of them as resolutions. I don't always even follow up on them, but rather work on projects as I am guided by what feels fun and holds my interest. Being an Aries times five, I like having many creative projects going at once. I work on each as I feel led and guided to. If I ever feel bored (what's that??) I can always go back to my New Year intentions and see what I thought sounded fun and interesting at the beginning of the year. I can see if there's something that sparks my attention again, that this would be the perfect time to get involved in. I'll know it's the perfect time when I feel everything is in place and flowing easily and I feel stoked and excited about the doing of it.

So start thinking about what some New Year intentions might be. Start a preliminary list and keep it on hand. At the end of the year I always do a burning bowl ceremony. I make a list of what things in my life I am ready to release and forgive. I make a small, safe fire in my chiminea and as I burn the pages, I experience the healing of the situation and know I am free of it. Send me your lists of New Year Intentions, and also your list of what you are ready to release. I love to hear your thoughts.

NEW TOPIC: I'm a workaholic! I admit it! But my work is fun and it's more of a mission than a job, so it seldom feels like work. Since I do spend much time working and traveling, I can't always visit with friends as often as I'd like.

A new friend mentioned they didn't want to disrupt my way of running myself and my business. It made me think about just how I do run myself and my business?

I discovered that I actually welcome disruptions. They allow me to test my personal discipline of focus of attention. They give me a chance to exercise that muscle. That muscle that lets me go back to center once I have let myself be distracted and lose focus and balance.

I was a little surprised to learn that I welcome disruption, and I realized that may be because I like change. Change excites me and takes me out of any rut I'm in. Sometimes it's the pleasant rut I get knocked out of.

I'm an adventurer in consciousness; I like to make myself explore the avenues within my own consciousness. To do this, I like to place myself in new situations and see how I emotionally and psychologically navigate and surf through them.

  So new people being placed in my life of course disrupts my way of running myself and my business. But that's great, because it makes me dig deep for resources that I don't yet have, or am not yet aware I have access to. Meaning, I barely have time for work and sleep as it is now, yet as soon as my attention is drawn to an interesting friend, I make time and find time. Ok, granted, my first thought always is, gosh if I can make time right now for a friend, I surely have time for more projects¦ *smile*

  Then I am reminded that I need fuel to keep me moving forward in these projects, and in my work. Fuel, remember, we know when our Spirit is being fully fueled when we feel that happy, timeless sense of euphoria that moves through our chest when we are thrilled with life. And my life experience has shown me the importance of creating this feeling consciously, meaning to do it on purpose, as often as possible.   The benefit is not only a boost to your immune system, but it places your mind in that state of allowing. In a state of complete non-resistance.

  When we are in that allowing and non-resistant state of mind, we are very magnetic attractors and are in those moments allowing the Universe to arrange for people, circumstances and events to come into our experience to bring us everything we ever dreamed we wanted to do or be or have. It's as if every happy moment brings me one step closer to my dreams. So, knowing that, don't you agree it's wise to make yourself create happy moments as often during your day as you can?

  Biochemically speaking, the immune system is enhanced partially because you are increasing the levels of the feel-good hormones, which floods your cells with healing energy.

  I know being with friends fuels my inspiration and that makes me more productive in my work. I know that my personal discipline of being able to focus my attention is working when disruptions happen and my regular routine is turned upside down, yet I can remain focused on the task at hand and centered in the truth of who I am and what is possible.

NEW TOPIC:
Last month I drove to Cassadaga to deliver the November Horizons Magazine to them. It was raining as I left Melbourne, just a drizzle, and I drove up I-95. I'd made a turkey sandwich for lunch on the way back, and was fighting the urge to eat it on the way up.

  I always thought rainbows were an optical illusion that you had to be a distance away to see.
  It was misty and drizzling, with intermittent rain, and as I approached the Rockledge exit, I saw a huge rainbow up ahead. I could see both ends of the rainbow, the entire arc. As I got closer, I saw that the east end of the rainbow appeared to be right over I-95 and I saw cars driving through it! I took note of the markers so I could see if I could tell when I was in the rainbow, but when I got in it, I totally knew I was in it!! I felt giddy and the energy felt real dynamic and sparkly. That could have been due to me being elated I was in a rainbow...
  So I travel another few miles and almost at the next exit - another rainbow! Once again I could see both ends of it, once again it ended over I-95, once again I drove right into it and once again the giddy feelings! I was excited beyond words. I wanted to take a pic but knew neither the phone nor camera would pick it up, it was very overcast and raining and the windshield wipers were going.

  Almost right out of the 2nd rainbow I stopped at the rest stop. I got out of my car and looked behind me to the south, but saw no rainbow. I didn't even see any grey skies. I looked to the north, and it looked clear as well. Yet 5 minutes driving north, I encountered more drizzling misty rain, and another rainbow, this one a double! Once again I could see both ends of it, and this time it went over I-95 and I drove under it. Interesting that I could not see the rainbows from the rest area.

I drove into Cassadaga and went into The Purple Rose Bookstore and told Mike Fedora about the rainbows. As I delivered the Cassadaga Camp Bookstore, I met Crystal who invited me to the prayer meditation circle that was just beginning. It was the first one I'd gone to on a Thursday morning and there were a dozen or more people there. I was delighted when Harry Byard led a guided meditation that took us through a rainbow! What synchronicity. You can hardly beat a four rainbow day.

Enjoy our offering this month.
Life is good!
Hari om.
