Sale and Sail on... (January 2022 Newsletter)
It has been a year of being anchored in one place. Often stuck where we don't want to be. Moored without being able to move leaves us with muddled and muddied plans.
Have you created real action-oriented plans? Perhaps you don't have the final details, given the uncertainty that we still face due to COVID and its persistence and insidiousness. But it is not just the plans for the New Year that we need to have ready so that we can sail forward into the world of matter. We have another world we need to move forward into – that of the Spirit.
What I am saying today is generally repeated each month in my newsletter in some form. To me that is all we know and all we need to know. Grow the spirit, transform yourself into the Being full of loving kindness that you truly are. Give without thought of recompense, accept what others offer you with gratitude, a smile, and a bow. Morning, evening, and all day long pay attention to what you do, what you see, what you hear, what you feel and what you taste. Keep all your senses sharpened and honed. You are the kings and queens of your world, be worthy of that title. Be in a state of constant gratitude. Learn from varied sources that are wise, but don’t depend on them. We are fortunate to live at a time when all knowledge and wisdom can be easily accessed through technology and travel (when possible). Learn as much as as you can but don’t get caught up in one source/app or personality that seems to fulfill your needs at this moment. Don’t stunt your growth. Sail on…
New Year resolutions? So, what about them? After all those 30-day challenges that you have stressed over in the past, or felt elated on completing, has it really changed anything for you in the long run? If it has, good for you; if not, don’t go for it again. You want a new year free of stress. Don't try to sail upstream. You won't go anywhere, except perhaps backwards!
Happy New Year! It’s just another day if you really think about it. But it’s always good to have an occasion to get together and share a laugh or two.
Namaste,
