Conscious Kernels Personal Spiritual Growth

March Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Tue, 3 Mar 2015 09:23:00 -0600

This is the last "Idea of the Month" posting.

Conscious Kernels is closing its cyber-doors on March 27. 2015. It has been a pleasure to be with you each month for nearly 10 years sharing empowering and enlightening ideas.

So we leave with a very powerful idea: we are all divine expressions of the One Life. We are the end result of a Universal Divine Mind thinking perfect thoughts in perfect harmony with Itself because there is only Itself. And it only knows Itself as perfection, wholeness and completeness. That means that we are the effect of this whole and perfect causal thinking which makes us, as individualized expressions of the One, the same perfection, wholeness and completeness.

Our ultimate spiritual growth, then, is to believe, embrace and express this Truth. We are the Life, Love, Light, Power, Peace, Beauty and Joy of God.

Blessings to you all. We wish you well on your continued path of spiritual growth.

Namaste.

January Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Fri, 2 Jan 2015 15:25:00 -0600

Happy New Year to all!! Much love, peace and prosperity to you in the new year!

The New Year is always a wonderful reference point to remind us to think a New Thought, and that the past is not precedence for the present or future. It is always a fresh, new starting point.

A new thought brings new experiences and new expressions of Life in your life. It has become a time of reflection and resolutions -- out with the old and in with the new.

And that is as it should be. As the Bible says, this is a God of the Living not the Dead. What that means is that Spirit is always alive with potential, with growth, and with change. The one constant, unchanging thing -- God -- creates constant change.

And with that being said, we are announcing that some time in early 2015, Conscious Kernels will close shop, shut down the website and end this blog. Our books, e-courses, services, etc. will no longer be available. We've been around for about 10 years, and we appreciate all the support we've had in that time. But the Universe will never let you stay in one place too long, and onward and upward growth is its path and trajectory. If you are interested in purchasing any of our products, please do so now, or forever hold your peace!

We wish you well on your continued path of spiritual growth.

Namaste

December Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Tue, 2 Dec 2014 10:50:00 -0600

Happy Holidays everyone!

This month, we're talking about the flip-side of this season of Giving: Receiving.

Receiving?? Yes, receiving. You can't give if someone else doesn't receive.

In this season of holidays and gift-giving, as we give generously to family, friends, charities, etc., we must also be willing to be on the receiving end of the giving that's going on.

Not just from family and friends, but MOST importantly from the greatest giver of all -- God. God is always giving to us. Love, which is God, is unconditional givingness. We are the receivers of that Love and that Givingness, but we have to do our part and accept that giving, accept that Good.

That's what I'm really talking about. Not gifts from family or friends. All the gifts that God is trying to give you -- if you'd only accept them!

Accepting anything good requires us to feel worthy of it. That can be hard. We are always quick to criticize ourselves and diminish ourselves over our "faults" and "shortcomings." It is a huge step in consciousness to truly believe that you are the beloved child of God.

In this month of Christmas, we can remember that Jesus was not the only son of God. We are all the children of God.

Enjoy this season of Giving -- both on the giving end and the receiving end. And have a wonderful holiday!

Until next time,
Namaste

October Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Fri, 10 Oct 2014 08:52:00 -0600

Welcome to the month of October.

This month we're talking about "going with the flow". The Universe is a perfect, harmonious whole. There is a perfect Intelligence guiding it, creating it, moving within it.

If we just tap into that perfect Intelligence, we can go with that flow; we can hitch a ride on a smooth, effortless ride like floating down stream on a river.

The key and the "trick" is to tap into that Intelligence. How do we do that? With our own consciousness and thinking. We must think in a certain way that allows us to connect with Universal Intelligence. We, as individuals, have to do this for ourselves in our own way.

I'm sure we've all had those days when everything seemed to fall into place. The traffic lights were all green. Some one pulls out of a parking space just as you arrive to park. A phone call solves a scheduling issue. That -- whether you choose to believe it or not -- is being in the flow. No matter how mundane that seems because there is no big or little in Divine Mind.

Then we've all had days everything seems to go wrong -- even the littlest of things. How frustrating, how maddening. Now compare those feelings to the ones where everything is going right. Quite a difference! Just remember those good feelings as and when they happen. Then when things start going wrong, you can pick the frustrating feelings, or the good feelings and stop the "malfunction" in its tracks.

It will take effort on our parts, but the ride will be worth it!

Until next time,

Namaste

September Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Mon, 1 Sep 2014 16:26:00 -0600

Well, the summer has gotten away from me with my postings, but here we are in September -- the month of Expectation according to Ernest Holmes.

We have to be careful what we expect. Sometimes we expect less than the best. Sometimes? Probably most of the time.

Our idea of the month, however, is about this Good coming into manifestation and experience THROUGH YOU. There is no other way. No one can manifest your good for you. It must come through you. God is always giving you your Good, but you must accept it and receive it. God give to you by giving through you. That way, that channel is our consciousness. It comes through us through our consciousness. Whatever we think and feel and believe is what we get.

We must expand our consciousness if we are to experience greater and greater Good in our lives. So remember, God works through you. Are you making that process easy or hard?

Until next time,
Namaste

July Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Tue, 8 Jul 2014 12:50:00 -0600

This month is it fitting to discuss freedom and independence since this month of July is associated with July 4 -- Independence Day here is the US.

We are all 100% free. We may not believe that. We may not act that way. But we are because we are 100% free to choose any thought we want. And that thought is our own freedom or bondage.

We have been given the gift of free will and self-determination. We are free or bound by our own thoughts. What can bind us can free us. And that is our own thoughts, self-contemplation and beliefs.

Our deeply-believed thoughts are what create our experiences. Our experiences make up our lives. Wherever you are today, at this moment, is because of the thoughts you have had and the beliefs you have habitually subjectified. We must remember to consciously choose our thoughts, stop repeating old habitual thinking and beliefs, and initiate a new path and pattern of thinking that we actually WANT!

As the USA celebrates the Fourth of July -- Independence Day -- let us know and claim our own freedom. We do that by consciously selecting thoughts that support us, thoughts that empower us, thoughts that delight us, thoughts that bring us Peace.

Declare your Independence from habitual thoughts that take you or keep you someplace you don't want to be. You are free. You are Free!

Until next time,
Namaste

June Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Tue, 3 Jun 2014 16:02:00 -0600

Happy June, everyone! The weather has been glorious and this kind of weather make me feel alive!

This month we are talking about a crucial step in treatment and that is living from your demonstration. In other words, act as if. In still other words, make plans.

Make Plans

In order to demonstrate, we must impress upon our subconscious what our desire is. One sure-fire way of doing that is to act as if the demonstration has already occurred. Then the subconscious accepts the demonstration as normal and natural for you and it manifests it. And while you are acting as if, you obviously would make plans based on living in your demonstration. There are millions of examples. You treat for a car. Then start making plans to find an insurance agent. Start making plans to clean out the garage and donate those items to charity. Start making plans for that road trip you've wanted to take for ages.

See where we're going with this? Making plans removes all doubt that your desire will demonstrate. You cannot have doubt about your desire manifesting or it will not. We must convince ourselves. We must convince our subconscious. When we make concrete plans and act on them, it's like "no turning back" for your mind.

Have you used "acting as if" to manifest your desire? Share your experiences here.

So make your plans right now for the thing you desire most. The Universe must support you. It must support this consciousness.

Until next time,

Namaste

May Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Fri, 2 May 2014 10:16:00 -0600

This month we are talking about fear. Fear of our Good.

Yes we fear having our Good! Seems like it should be the opposite (and it should) but we do fear actually demonstrating our Good. Mostly it is fear of the unknown. It is fear of change.

Our desires are currently things we are not experiencing like a new relationship, a new home, a new job, etc. So in order to have these desires, things have to change. Thus the fear of change. In order to have these desires, we must move into experiences we have not had before. Thus the fear of the unknown.

These are real and normal fears. They may prevent us from asking that new person out on a date. They may stop us from moving to a new home. They may prevent us from going on job interviews. These are all fears of the process. The process of finding a new relationship or a new job -- and the related outcomes.

But we have to remember one great thing about our Good (desires): they are GOOD for us! They are good for us to experience or they would not be called our Good! Our Good can never harm us or another. Our Good can never be "bad" for us. Our Good can never be what we shouldn't have.

So work through or past the fear of the unknown or change. The Good we can experience can be so much greater than the fear that stops us.

Until next time,
Namaste

February Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Tue, 4 Feb 2014 15:29:00 -0600

February is the month of LOVE.

Love is defined in The Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes as the givingness of Spirit to Itself. Love is the unconditional givingness of God to Itself.

If you read this month's newsletter feature article, you will get a very logical, methodical reasoning for the argument that God Loves You! God can't help love you. It is its nature to love you.

If God is giving to Itself, It has to give to you because you are part of It. It gives Itself to Itself and to you and me, that means God is giving Life, Love, Light, Power, Peace, Beauty, and Joy to us. Those qualities are God and It is giving Itself to Itself (disguised as us!!)

How does that make you feel? That God loves you. What can you expect when you know that God loves you? The list is endless, but I bet everything on that list is life-affirming, life-enhancing, joyful, and beautiful. Our lives can be this way if we just accept this Truth.

Enjoy this month of Love and remember throughout the year that God loves you.

Until next time,
Namaste

January Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Sat, 4 Jan 2014 13:14:00 -0600

Happy New Year to all!

A great time to think a New Thought in a New Year!

This month, we get back to basics. Back to the root, back to the heart of what we call spirituality.

Spirituality is, and Ernest Holmes would agree with me, is our relationship with the Divine Presence. It is the constant and consistent attempt to feel the Presence of God in everything and in everyone.

It is our recognition that this Presence exists. That this Presence is Good, Truth, Beauty, Peace, Power, and Love -- and only things of good report.

So how much we believe that, how much we recognize that, how much we acknowledge that is our relationship with it.

Is this relationship trusting? Is this relationship consistent? Is this relationship beneficial? Is this relationship interactive?

This is a good time to reflect on that relationship and its characteristics. Do we want to improve it?

Ultimately, do we want to make it a priority in our lives?

Knowing all good things can come to you in the new year, until next time,

Namaste

December Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Sat, 7 Dec 2013 16:04:00 -0600

This month we are talking about never giving up.

Despite what it may look like, or how depressing or upsetting it may feel, we cannot give up on having our good. Whether that good is health, peace, harmony, or prosperity.

We have to keep putting demands on the Law to provide our Good.

This the mental discipline and spiritual practice we must employ. We must stay in the Truth that all there is is God and all there is is Good. We must know that we cannot be separate from our good. That despite appearances, we must stay "single-eyed" (focused) on what we have and what we want, and not on what we do not have.

Nothing can deny us our good. It is the Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. When you have convinced yourself of that, you will see the evidence of it.

Happy Holidays to all!

Until next time,
Namaste

November Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Sat, 2 Nov 2013 08:32:00 -0600

November is the month of Thanksgiving. As a holiday and a spiritual practice.

Let's keep in mind the Divine Truth of this practice.

Giving thanks or gratitude is a profound spiritual practice. Gratitude, as Ernest Holmes says, is an attitude of recognition. It is affirming the very presence of God. It affirms our faith and belief in the Good. It affirms that there is a Divine Presence. It affirms that there is a Divine Source. It affirms that there is Divine Abundance. And that we have received and can continue to receive from it.

Gratitude confirms that we expect more of this Good. And if you remember from Step 4 of Spiritual Mind Treatment, whatever we expect, we get.

Giving thanks opens up our receptivity to even more Good. When we are grateful for what we have, it is through the Law that we will have even more to be grateful for.

It is an upward spiral of increase.

Have a wonderful holiday and practice Thanksgiving EVERY day of the year!

Until next time,
Namaste

October Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Tue, 1 Oct 2013 10:19:00 -0600

This month we are talking about Divine Timing.

They say timing in life is everything. And that is absolutely true.

There are huge differences in life experiences because of timing. WHEN you do something can be more important than WHAT you do.

Did you invest before or after a financial crash? Did you submit your patent before or after someone with the same invention? Did you make that personal connection with someone before or after it was too late? Did you replace those old tires before or after you had a flat?

You may know what to do, but when to do it makes all the difference.

So how do you know when is the right time for anything?

Hate to break the news to you, but the human intellect will NEVER know when that perfect timing is. It's impossible. Only Divine Wisdom, Divine Intelligence knows when the perfect time is. And if we are to benefit from that Divine Wisdom, we will have to learn to listen to it!

That means listening to and heeding your intuition. It means getting quiet and listening to that still, small voice inside each of us. It means asking for and receiving Divine Guidance.

Your intuition is your connection to Divine Mind on the subconscious level. It is a direct pipeline to that Divine Mind. All the knowledge and wisdom is there. You just need access to it. Taking time each day to sit in the silence will give you that access. This sitting in silence does not have to be a formal meditation, although you could meditate as well. This sitting is just trying to clear your mind and be open to anything that Divine Guidance is trying to tell you. The revelations may not come in that moment. It may not come when you are silent. It may come in the middle of driving to work when your conscious thoughts are completely somewhere else! That is when you need to listen to that voice, that intuition. Don't blow it off as nothing. This is what you sat in the silence to hear!

Right action at the right time is the realm of Spirit. Give yourself a break and don't try to figure it all out intellectually. It will never happen that way. Be open to the Divine Wisdom within you and around you, and you will be divinely guided.

September Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Tue, 3 Sep 2013 12:07:00 -0600

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend.

Now it's back to work using your mind!

This month we discuss the Law of Mind. The metaphysical Law that is the Do-er of the Universe. Whatever manifests in this Universe is because the Law has brought it about. The Law is the Do-er but it cannot initiate anything of its own volition. It must be initiated by YOU and the thoughts you put into it.

This month's article is entitled: "Make Your Demand." You must put demands on the Law in order to create what you want in life. If not, the Law just perpetuates what it has already done for you -- that is why we often fall into recurring patterns. You can break those patterns the same way they started -- believe in something so strongly, you have no doubt. Choose a thought of what you want and believe you shall have it. The Law must do what you demand.

The Law is your servant. It's only job is to fulfill whatever is impressed upon it. You do the impressing by your thoughts and beliefs. If you do not consciously choose the direction you want the Law to do in, it has nothing else to work with than what it has already done for you -- be that what you want or what you don't want.

Make your demand. Believe it is fulfilled. Observe the manifestation in your life.

Until next time,

Namaste

August Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Tue, 6 Aug 2013 12:57:00 -0600

This month in the free monthly e-newsletter, we talk about that feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop. We talk about that feeling of dread or that something bad is going to happen. And the sense of "what else could go wrong" or Murphy's Law (what can go wrong, will go wrong).

All of that is an expectation of Bad. We must train our minds to expect Good instead.

This Universe operates within a set of laws. The Law of Mind can only give you what you have the consciousness for. It operates on a principle. You set the law in motion through conscious thought and subconscious beliefs.

You can only change your subconscious through conscious efforts. One of those efforts is to consciously expect good. Expect a good outcome in every circumstance, situation and problem. Expect that your needs are met. Expect that the loving givingness of God is always for you and never against you. Expect that you are always protected and provided for.

Why is it so much easier to expect the bad and not the good? Does that keep us from being disappointed? From getting our hopes up? Does it keep us from having to be responsible for our lives and what happens in them?

I suspect all the above. But here is the Truth: as Jesus said "it is the Father's great pleasure to give you the Kingdom." Good is waiting for us. Good is right there. Good is as achievable as Bad.

Expect the Kingdom. Accept the Kingdom. Live in the Kingdom.

Until next time,
Namaste

July Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Tue, 23 Jul 2013 12:03:00 -0600

Better late than never!

This month we talk about embracing change.

Change is Good!

What changes in our lives is the physical. It is the events, appearances, circumstances, outcomes, and experiences. When there are changes in any of these outward things, we know something has changed within.

Something has changed within our own consciousness. Now if that change we see is good and we like it, we know that our consciousness has accepted a new level of Good for ourselves. If that change is not so good, we know we have work to do. Our consciousness has accepted something less than good for us -- for whatever reason.

If we are stuck and see no change when we want to see change, time to think anew. Time to stretch our imaginations, time to move beyond our self-imposed limitations.

The only thing changeless is Truth. Truth is the one constant. Use your knowledge and acceptance of the Truth of you to go forward, to move upward, to express greater. That is your new jumping off point! Stay in the Truth and your changes will be welcomed and embraced and enjoyed!

Until next time,
Namaste

June Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Sat, 1 Jun 2013 07:27:00 -0600

I don't think God enjoys seeing people suffer. There is no ability of the Life Principle to foist that upon Itself.

So we have to think: What's the point of going through a challenge if it does not benefit us in some way?

Punishment and suffering is not what Life is all about. That is not what God is all about.

When presented with a challenge, we must know and think that we will come out the better for it, that we will benefit somehow from it. If we put that demand on the Law -- that we do benefit from this situation -- the Law must comply.

We declare and demand that we benefit in ALL ways. Not just in physical terms like you get a new car after a car accident totals your old car. But in physical, emotional, and spiritual ways. In physical ways, we are healed and compensated. In emotional ways, we are comforted and supported. In spiritual ways, we grow closer to our Source in beliefs and faith.

It can be hard to see the good and how you benefit while in the midst of a serious circumstance. If you can't see this for yourself, go to a Religious Science Practitioner. Let him or her know your Good for you.

Just don't let this opportunity slip away. Don't suffer in vain. Don't set yourself up as a martyr. Declare your power, declare your right, declare your Good.

Until next time,
Namaste

May Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Wed, 1 May 2013 11:25:00 -0600

We continue our discussion of what to do when disaster strikes, what to do when we face a crisis, problems or challenges.

As we move through the experience, and eventually we will move through it, we can use it as an opportunity to grow in Spirit.

In dire situations, we may have nowhere else to turn but God. But that is the best place to turn no matter the severity of the situation.

Who or what better to deal with our challenges than Infinite Intelligence, Divine Wisdom, and Perfect Love and Harmony?

If we can have faith in this Intelligence and Wisdom, if we can turn the solutions over to God, we will be happy and satisfied with the resolution.

But can we stop thinking about the problem and rely on God for the solution? Or will we try to figure it all out, meddle with the perfect working of the Law?

Secure the end through Spiritual Mind Treatment and let the Law and God carry it out.

Until next time,
Namaste

April Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Tue, 2 Apr 2013 07:54:00 -0600

This month we are talking about things going from bad to worse! What many people in the New Thought movement call a dissipative structure -- when it seems like a chain reaction of one "bad" thing happening after another. Waiting for the other shoe to drop -- you know the feeling.

Dissipative structures, in science, are the tearing down before the building up of something stronger, bigger, greater. The tearing down must happen in order for the building up to commence. And here is the key: a dissipative structure would not occur if the building up afterwards was not a guarantee. In other words, a dissipative structure is not just destruction and that's the end of it. A dissipative structure by definition, means a building up must happen.

None of us are immune to problems and challenges. That is part of the human experience.

Our spiritual evolution, awakening, and understanding is to grow beyond our human experience. It is to know our true identity and our true selves.

Our true selves are greater than problems. Our true selves are stronger than challenges -- because our true selves are in partnership with God. We are individualizations of God. That means that we have the same ability to changing the ever-changing physical conditions with the unchanging, omnipresent power of Spirit.

Though a certain present condition may be difficult, we must stay in the truth, give no more power to that condition, turn from that condition to the solution in Spirit, and know that we come out the other side of it better, stronger, happier, and closer to God.

Ernest Holmes said the same thinking that got us into this problem cannot and will not be the thinking that gets us out of it. Our thinking must be to the solution, to the resolution, to the greater livingness that this problem presents -- not the problem itself.

It may not be easy. We have thousands of years of human experience living in conditional thinking. But that is what we must do. We must have the disciplne, the faith, and the loving kindness toward ourselves to let God "make it right."

March Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Fri, 1 Mar 2013 15:52:00 -0600

This month we talk about what we perceive to be prayers unanswered. But are they really?

I shared in this month's newsletter about a treatment request I made that appears to have been unfulfilled. Yet I gained something important just from the mere asking for a treatment from a licensed practitioner. My consciousness was raised. And that is ultimately what a treatment is meant to do!

Raising your consciousness does so much more for you than a temporary need fulfilled. Most people think of a demonstration as having received something you wanted -- whether that was money to pay an unexpected bill to a new relationship to a healing of an illness. But the true demonstration is that you developed a higher prosperity consciousness or a higher loving consciousness or a higher health consciousness and the result -- this time -- manifested as money for a bill or a new relationship or a healing.

Do you see the difference? The higher consciousness is not a one-time solution to a one-time problem. It is a new and sustained self-contemplation which will affect the next thing and the next thing and the next thing in your life. It changes the trajectory of your life.

That is a treatment demonstrated.

Share your thoughts here.

Until next time,
Namaste

Februay Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Fri, 1 Feb 2013 11:29:00 -0600

As kind of a spin off from the idea of last month: You and your Good cannot be separated, this month we talk about Staying in the Truth.

Staying in the Truth is similar to you and your Good being one. Because the Truth is there is only the One. If there is only the One, you cannot be apart from anything, especially your Good.

Staying in the Truth is consciously remembering and living from the Truth. Despite appearances, despite experiences, despite anything that DOES NOT look like the Truth.

And this is not easy. Our brain is telling us to trust our eyes. Our intellect is telling us to make judgements about what we see.

But as the Bible says, "judge not by appearances but judge rightly" which means don't go be what your eyes see or what your intellect is telling you what is happening. Judge or think correctly. And that is judge or think with Truth as your foundation, with Truth as your guide.

Share your thought on "judging rightly".

Until next time,
Namaste

January Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Wed, 2 Jan 2013 12:41:00 -0600

First, Happy New Year to everyone.
Let's make 2013 your best year ever!

This first month of a brand new year, we talk about You and your Good.

You always have your Good. You cannot be separated from your Good. It may look that way, but you must stay committed to the idea that you have your Good, your Good cannot be taken from you in any way, and that you and your Good are One. If you do this, you will not experience the opposite.

This a challenging concept. Despite what appears, you must stay single-minded and affirm that you have your Good always. It takes discipline to not fall into the trap of being a "victim" of circumstance. You have your Good! Even if things don't change right away, stay committed to your good idea.

I'm working on a situation right now and I cannot allow myself to accept anything less than my Good. I cannot have any doubt that I will experience my Good in a particular situation. I must be patient. I must not give up!

As Winston Churchill once told a graduating class: "Never, never, never, never, never, never, never give up."

Post your thoughts below.

December Idea of the Month

postmaster@consciouskernels.com (Tina Montalto) — Tue, 4 Dec 2012 10:42:00 -0600

This month in the newsletter we are talking about "Holy Days". (Appropriate for the "Holidays", right?)

The traditions and rituals of this time of year are the ways humans made an attempt to express Spirit and the universal principle of Love (the unconditional givingness of Spirit to Itself). When these traditions and rituals were developed, people didn't know they were making an unconscious (consciously unaware) connection to the principle of Love.

But now that the human race has become more enlightened, more consciously aware of its Spiritual Nature, we can consciously recognize our connection to Spirit and its principles and laws.

So when we are giving thanks at Thanksgiving, we are really thanking the Source of all things in our lives. When we are giving gifts to family and friends, we are really trying to express the unconditional givingness of God. When we gather with loved ones and sing and eat and share time, we are really acting as conduits of the Joy and Love of Spirit.

That is what makes these days "Holy Days." Let's keep that in mind. Let's keep them Holy throughout this season and on all days.

I wish you the Happiest of Holy Days!

Until next time,
Namaste
