A Happy New Year is not a function of anything that might
happen or you might receive in the New Year!
A happy New Year will be a function of what you will
bring to all the people in your world in the New Year?
Will you bring honesty?
Will you bring respect?
Will you bring kindness?
Will you bring integrity?
How about if we make your mirrors the most important gift
of all?
Loving Kindness or Other
There are only two conditions: LOVING KINDNESS and OTHER. To work for peace, you must have a peaceful heart. To preserve peace, our hearts must be at peace with the world, with our brothers and our sisters. Trying to overcome damage with damage is not the way to make peace ...
Want
Wanting something is quite different than believing our happiness has anything to do with that person, place or thing. Happiness exists only as a place to come from, not to get to. The moment I believe I cannot live without it, have I not just become dependent? ...
Capacity
The Dalai Lama has said that “compassion occurs only between equals.” The capacity for everything resides within each of us. The moment I have the thought that I am "better than, smarter than or more important than, my ability to be of actual use is gone." Will I look today ...
Goodness
See and observe those who approach each person with love, kindness and compassion. Perhaps our greatest service is simply to find ways to strengthen and live closer to our goodness. This is far from easy. It requires an everyday attention, an awareness of all that diminishes us, distracts us, and ...
Within You, AND the Person Next to You!
The power to repair the world is already in you. When someone blesses you, it reminds you a little – untying the knots of belief and fear and self-doubt that have separated you from your own goodness. Freeing you to bless and receive blessings from everything around you. From the ...
Personally
Nelson Mandela, “As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest.” To whom do you think Nelson Mandela was speaking? ...
Confusion; Really?
"These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle, progress without compassion, wealth without work, learning without silence, religion without fearlessness and worship without awareness.” Anthony de Mello Any Questions? ...
Conundrum
"A World That Works for Everyone" creates a conundrum for most people. If we believe it can be created, we might be considered wide-eyed and impractical. Really. If we believe it is impossible, doesn't that mean we are acknowledging that we are incapable of taking care of our family and ...
Allow
Allow us to be present to one and other. Encourage us to be present enough to know when silent support is all that is wanted and needed. Allow us to know when what we want is irrelevant. Allow us to know that the gift of love is always the foundation ...
Simplicity
Who have we loved today? To whom have we contributed our time, energy and/or money? Is it clear to us that every thing we do counts? The only question is will it be a contribution or a detriment? ...

Please, please do not get too caught up in the idea of giving gifts, that is tokens of affection in celebration of your spiritual tradition!
If you don’t remember that you are the gift in every religious tradition I know of, you will have missed the entire point.
How will you present this gift of you?
With love?
With patience and understanding?
With kindness?
Make yourself a WONDERFUL holiday!

What might happen if you gave up any expectation of ever having physical intimacy ever again?
Did everything you could to be of pragmatic help to you partner?
Never looked to be acknowledged or thanked?
Took every opportunity to be kind, affectionate and gentle with no ulterior motive?
