JANUARY 1999
Patience. Now, wouldn't that be a nice quality to develop in 1999? When I was younger, I used to be very impatient and wanted things to happen NOW. Looking back over the last 25 years, what a blessing it was that I had to wait for my good to come to me! If I'd have gotten every thing I thought I wanted when I thought I wanted it, I'd have had to wade through much more of my own nonsense in order to get to my wonderful NOW.
What a blessing to have to stay focused on something long enough to magnetize and attract it to you. How powerful to discover that our thoughts attract our experience to us. What a relief to learn that we are the ones that attract people and circumstances and events into our lives and that if what we're living is not what we want our life to be, we can begin now to focus more attention on what we want to experience, and focus less attention on what we're ready to be free of.
What do you want to be free of in 1999?
As I leave 1998 behind, I want to leave behind any judgments I may have held about people or things I didn't understand. I want to leave behind any hard feelings that I may have caused or I may have felt. I want to leave behind all disbelief and doubt that the world is indeed a holy and magical place, filled with loving and compassionate people. I want to be free of any idea or person or circumstance that binds me and keeps me tethered to a world that is less than what I consciously choose to live in.
Accept only joy and love for 1999
In 1999, I will accept nothing less than joy and love in every moment. Even if I am the only one offering it. Especially if I am the only one offering it. I know that nothing ever needs to change except my perception, and my prayer in 1999 is that my eyes be opened more fully, and that I allow my mind and my heart to be opened more fully as well. I give thanks for all the lessons I learned in 1998, and for all the loving friends I've encountered along the way.
We're on this journey together
We're fellow travelers on a Path, you and I, and I want to express gratitude to everyone who walks with me in thought and prayer as we journey together here in this lifetime. Without you to enjoy and appreciate Horizons Magazine, it would not exist. Appreciation is the best fuel to keep things running smoothly. And I appreciate the feedback and support all of you give me, whether physical or nonphysical. I appreciate the kind words and the emails and the correspondence you send, and I mostly appreciate the inspiring thoughts you send my way. I receive them all and my life is made richer because of it.
