Happy Holidays!

I deliberately wish Happy Holidays because there are several holidays for different traditions which occur at this time of year. Even the New Year is celebrated at different times by some traditions depending on their calendar (Hebrew, Julian, Gregorian).

What I pray for you all is to deliberately take time each day to spend in stillness, to be quiet, to let your mind rest, knowing the world will not cease while you just BE. If you have a dog, allow her to take you for a walk sans cellphone or ipod. Listen to the world - the birds, the rain, the trees; watch the sky - the clouds, the colors. Enjoy.

In my tradition and calendar, Happy New Year. Let it be. Watch, listen to your pets. Let them lead you by example and their joy in the now. Be present.

Happy Holidays!
